Making Paramus A Better Place Again

Paramus, New Jersey; it may be a community in Bergen County full of shopping and entertainment close to New York City. Personally, I love shopping at all four malls which are Paramus Park, Bergen Mall, Garden State Plaza, and Fashion Center. They are great malls with a wide variety of stores and restaurants. I also like going to the AMC Theaters at the Garden State Plaza. That's always the best! But I have a feeling that some venues are missing to make Paramus a better community again. Sure, the borough may have added a new family fun entertainment venue called Humdingers, which has indoor batting cages, bowling alleys, and a big arcade. It may not be SportsWorld like when I went as a kid, but it still offers great entertainment for the entire family. And Van Saun Park has also added an outdoor ice rink and this entire "winter wonderland" for the children from November to January. In addition, the carousel and train runs longer. I believe that is wonderful; however, I feel that is not enough to make Paramus a great community again.

I believe that Paramus Park should add a Regal Cinemas because to help boost popularity of the mall. For the past three years (will be four in 2017), the management at Paramus Park approved to build a movie theater in the mall and have been planning it. Sadly, the project has been delayed for quite a while. When I looked at the Regal Cinemas website, I noticed that it said a location will be opening at Paramus Park with 10 theaters inside in 2018. I was thinking, "When will this ever open?" I love AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas because they're modern and clean looking theaters as compared to those old crappy cinemas like Bowtie Cinemas. I feel like those old crappy theaters are so out of date and that AMC and Regal are examples of today's movie theaters. In general, Paramus used to have three movie theater complexes. One was Route 4 and two were on Route 17. I feel like AMC at Garden State Plaza as the only movie theater complex in the entire borough of Paramus isn't enough to make Paramus a better community. Regal should be built at Paramus Park so that AMC won't be alone to make Paramus great again. Another benefit that Regal Cinemas in Paramus Park will have is that people won't have to drive up all the way to Nanuet Mall, they can just come to Paramus. It's so convenient!

While adding another movie theater complex is beneficial to the borough of Paramus, I feel like that is still not enough to make the borough a better place. I believe that a Dave and Buster's should also be put into the borough of Paramus. There may be a location at Palisades Center mall, but if a Dave and Buster's comes to Paramus, it will be the first Dave and Buster's location in the entire state of New Jersey since there has never been a New Jersey location for Dave and Buster's. I love all their food and games there! Looks like Chuck E. Cheese's, Monster Mini Golf, and Humdinger's are going to have some company if this ever happens! Again, this would be convenient since people won't have to drive up all the way to Palisades Mall or New York City in Times Square, they can just come in between in Paramus for convenient measures. This will also boost up popularity and entertainment. If the borough can stop procrastinating and get these projects off the ground, I'm sure that Paramus will be a better place again.
