Euclid can't get developers/ companies or young families to move in because:

1. the taxes are outrageous (2.85% income tax)

2. the housing market collapse has made the property there vitually worthless

3. the schools are terrible

4. certain elements (black and white) are chasing the people away

Yup,they also killed " Mom and Pop " stores in the little towns.

@conkatruck 2.85% income tax is ridiculous? LOL

[acsounds]

@fmthebaron only because i rent commercial property from the city of euclid, i can tell you the reasons you stated are not why they cancelled the fireworks and festivals. the city of euclid is very strapped on money so they choose not to do fireworks. it's funny how people come on here with their OPINIONS instead of FACTS as to why things happen.

[acsounds]

and the guy that owns it, quit blaming him. i know him and i know for a fact he tried to restore a mall that the current economy just wouldn't support. The guy has been always decent. If the place opened up as far as full retail again (not private rental office space) i'd be in there in a heartbeat. There are several tenants in there now though who are doing well, including a full service hair salon, clothing store, etc. oh, i'm the owner of maxxx electronics and again i would move in there.

[acsounds]

pt2. move back into euclid, many of the old tenants had just put a lot of money into renovations of their own stores in there. in 2005 i was the first store owner back in there when they reopened the mall. same as the italian restaurant and a few other stores. I myself would have stayed if they were able to seal the deal and get the anchors in. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RESIDENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE WHY IT CLOSED. I'VE SEEN LILY WHITE AREA MALLS CLOSE DOWN FOR WORSE. know the facts folks.

[acsounds]

pt1. the reasons listed and said as to why the mall are closed are ridiculous. i'll tell you the real reason. one owner who bought it does nothing but buy malls to shut them (same person who bought randall before it closed) I use to own stores and various times there. in 2006 they were on there way to a reopening but the current owner could not come up with the money needed to revovate the place the way the anchors coming in wanted it. there were a lot of stores willing to.... end of pt1

I have fond memories of this place. Back in 1986, my girlfriend at the time worked at the Chess King and I would pick her up and we'd go out on dates when she got off work. I would sometimes come an hour early to play video games at the arcade (It was the 80's after all). Such fun easy going simpler times.

thanks for the memories ESM!!!
