Shooting range closes at Montgomery Mall, EJJI Ramen shuts down again

Aim Point, a shooting range that garnered some controversy after opening for the holiday season at Westfield Montgomery Mall, has closed. While the range utilized airsoft guns, gun control activists applied pressure to the mall to shut down the attraction. A source told me just before mid-December that the owner had been asked to vacate by Westfield as a result of the complaints, even though he had planned to be a long-term tenant. The range's space has been walled off with a photo of a burger and fries.
In other mall news, EJJI Ramen has closed again in the Dining Terrace. Their stall appeared to be cleaned out Saturday, although signage and the menu screens remained up, and the space hasn't been walled off. I say, "closed again," because EJJI Ramen also closed for a few days last August. The owners told me they had a "mechanical problem" at that time, and the ramen bar reopened a few days later. So this may not be the end - stay tuned.
