The Woodville mall, like other Ohio malls, experienced an economic decline in the ’90s. The mall was opened in 1969 and by the early 2000s most stores had left. In 2014, it was demolished. LINK

Randall Park Mall opened in 1976 and closed in 2009. In 1995, there were 120 stores that employed 5,000 people. The mall began its decline in the early 2000s when J.C. Penney and Dillard’s left. By 2008, the mall was basically empty. The mall is currently being demolished and will be gone any day now. Photo credit: Johnny Joo Photography

Grave of Edith Scobie (1877-1892), Mulka Store. The inscription on her sand-scoured tombstone, huddled beneath a solitary gumtree, reads: "Here lies embalmed in careful parents' tears/A virgin branch cropped in its tender years."- LINK
