Posted February 17, 201312 yr Check out this old Salem Mall commercial... 1985 - Commercial - The Salem Mall - Insidewalk Sale! - Dayton, OH
February 18, 201312 yr I remember that fountain very well! MCL was the SPOT for folks after church! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 19, 201312 yr I remember it too. I worked at the Noble Shoe Store during the Christmas season of 1986.
February 19, 201312 yr Wow. I think I was only in the mall one time; it is still hard to believe Trotwood had Dayton's first mall.
February 19, 201312 yr ^I thought Town & Country was older than the Salem Mall? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 19, 201312 yr It's funny, I was just talking with a fellow transplant to Dayton yesterday about weird Dayton things--things that for whatever reason seem (to us) disproportionately emblazoned into the city's collective memory and indentity, things that Daytonians are just weird about. Salem Mall tops the list, along with Third and Main/RTA, Flyover statue, the big fountain, and Rhine McLin.

Salem Mall tops the list, along with Third and Main/RTA, Flyover statue, the big fountain, and Rhine McLin's hat closet. FTFY on the McLin thing(hahahahahaha!!!) I think I was only in the mall one time also. Around 1988 or '89. Grandpa was in Englewood Manor and needed a good phone for his room. We went to the AT&T store. I remember there being some vacancies, but it seemed like a decent mall from that one time.
August 23, 201311 yr ^I thought Town & Country was older than the Salem Mall? T&C never had any enclosed mallway.
