I've been visiting the Dayton Mall for well over 20 years and I've watched it go from being THE PLACE to shop to struggling to get people in the doors. It all started when they let the movie theater be built away from the mall. Since then there's not been any real attraction to get families to come to the mall and it has slowly been dying ever since. Once upon a time that halls and shops would be packed with shoppers no matter what time of year it was, now you can wander the halls and never come even remotely close to bumping into someone. Yes there are still great prices to be had for really nice clothes and Sears has some great prices on appliances, but that doesn't seem to be enough to get the people out of Walmart and Target and into the Mall! Unless they can come up with some sort of attraction to get families to want to come to the mall, it is going to continue to dry up and die like the Salem Mall and Fairfield Commons and that is going to be a real shame!
