'Mallrats 2' to Give Granite Run Mall Final Act?
If you grew up in Delaware or Chester counties in the 70s, 80s or 90s you might have considered yourself a “mallrat” of the Granite Run Mall.
Before the once-proud shopping center meets the wrecking ball, it could become a piece of “Mallrats” lore for all-time.
Director Kevin Smith is targeting the soon to be defunct mall as the backdrop for “Mallrats 2,” the sequel to 1995’s cult-classic that starred Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, Jeremy London, Shannen Doherty, Ethan Suplee, Jason Mewes and Smith as Silent Bob.
“He’s thinking of it, yes,” Michael Markman, president of BET Investments, told the Delco Times. “The conversations have been ongoing. They would like to film there, but it’s just a matter of timing.”
Smith has hinted that he would like to film at a mall that could be razed, reported Philly.com.
Will the 58-acre property get one last run as traditional mall before meeting the wrecking ball? It would be a great sendoff.

Philly Mom Pleads Not Guilty in ISIS Case
A Philadelphia mom who investigators said was ready to leave her children, join the terrorist group ISIS and ultimately martyr herself, plead not guilty Thursday.
Keonna Thomas communicated with ISIS sympathizers using names including "YoungLioness" and "Fatayat Al Khilafah," according to federal prosecutors.
The 30-year-old mother of two had bought a ticket to leave the country. Prosecutors contend the only reason she didn't get on the plane was because federal agents served a search warrant at her home in the week leading up to her flight.
Thomas began communicating with a man who identified himself as a violent jihadi fighter in December of 2013, according to a criminal complaint. She talked with him about donating money "to the ISIS brothers" and traveling to get more money. Posts from her Twitter accounts also included statements about dying for the cause.
Thomas faces 15 years in prison if found guilty

'Sad Piccolo Girl' to Get Her Own Bobblehead
Villanova sports fans can now forever remember the biggest star of the 2015 NCAA tournament "Sad Piccolo Girl" with their very own crying bobblehead.
Band member Roxanne Chalifoux first captured the hearts of the nation when a video of her crying while playing the piccolo went viral after the Wildcats loss in the NCAA tournament.
Now, Chalifoux is gearing up for her very own crying bobblehead to treasure that special moment.
"I am really excited about it but it took a while for things to be in place and finalized," she explained.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame Museum launched a campaign to keep Chalifoux’s legacy alive by raising money to produce a bobblehead depicting her emotional reaction to the game.
"I was contacted by the museum a while ago, and at first I was like is this weird, would people want it?" Chalifoux said.
The museum first reached out to Chalifoux after the tournament but the process took weeks to reach the launch phase.
The Kickstarter hopes to raise $5,000 by June 5 in order to produce the dolls and have them ready for delivery by September.
If the campaign doesn't sell at least 500 dolls, the bobbleheads will not be produced, according to Chalifoux.
"We are really trying to get the word out there because we need to sell 500 bobbleheads to go through with production," she said.
The first 250 people to contribute to the campaign will receive the limited edition bobblehead for $15 instead of the retail price of $20, according to the campaign.
For each bobblehead sold, a portion of the proceeds go to the university's band.
