 | | Appellant PruneYard is a privately owned shopping center in the city of Campbell, Cal. It covers approximately 21 acres--5 devoted to parking and 16 occupied by walkways, plazas, sidewalks, and buildings that contain more than 65 specialty shops, 10 restaurants, and a movie theater. |
 | | The center had banned handbilling because it "was considered likely to annoy customers, to create litter, potentially to create disorders, and generally to be incompatible with the purpose of the Center and the atmosphere sought to be preserved." 407 U.S., at 555-556, 92 S.Ct., at 2222. |
 | | And it emphasized that the shopping center was open to the public and that reasonable restrictions on the exercise of communicative activity would be permitted. |
