OH MY GOD!!! I grew up in nearby Xenia, Ohio and this was our most frequently visited mall in the 1970's and early 1980's. It looks the same - the decor has not changed in 40 years. I see anchor stores gone. Now that I live and work in Santa Barbara, it is always a shock to see how bad things are in Ohio. (The central valleys of California also have severe economic issues, but the coast is doing well.)
