The Case

It's not that I'm avoiding updating this thing or that I don't want to, when it comes right down to it, I'm fresh out of ideas.

So tell me, what do you guys want to see? I mean literally, photographically, what do you want to see?

Because I'm still out of ideas.

Richard commented at 6:58 AM~: Why don't you head to Downtown Euclid/Shore Center Area? Have you seen the devastation there lately? Value City, May Wah Chinese Restaraunt, The old Daves Building. And those are the just the ones I can see out of my window on a daily basis!
Anonymous commented at 8:31 AM~: Well, your blog is called "Dead Euclid", why not take photos of the decrepit sides of Euclid?
Anonymous commented at 2:31 AM~: Perhaps talk about the positives of Euclid? Is there any?....Anyway whats the current status of the Outlet usa? What Buisnesses are still operating if any?

Anonymous commented at 7:46 AM~: I lived in Euclid for the first 18 years of my life before moving away for school. I still live in NE Ohio and decided to drive through the old mall. I think the last time I was there was when Kaufmann's had a closeout sale (everything $5 a piece) before moving to Richmond Town Centre. At least Randall's owners finally decided to put it out of its misery. [Btw, Hayward Pritchard was also the former owner of ESM and he seems to be sure sign that a mall has jumped the shark.]

Anyway, my cousin and I were talking about ESM last night. As far as I saw with my "drive-through" last month, there were about 20 cars clustered around the Dillard's outlet and the rest of the lot was M-T! She heard on a bargain site that Outlets USA was still in there.
Anonymous commented at 7:50 AM~: Maybe a status report on what is actually in the mall besides the church I heard about a couple months ago. I overheard at Great Clips was they rent the mall out for parties. If you walk upto the doors, are they locked or what? Everyone I know who lives in Euclid said "nothing" is in there and think the whole mall (except Dillard's) is closed.
Anonymous commented at 8:13 AM~: mall for sale! anyone got a spare $17.75 million?

Leah commented at 12:36 PM~: I second the suggestion of downtown. There is alot going on there. Also updated pictures of other empty buildings in euclid. Or new pictures of the mall thats only open for dillards and the euclidian room.

Love your site...I look at it all the time. I would love to see pictures of Euclid Beach Park...maybe where some old rides used to be...the pier...stuff like that.
Jeremy Michaels commented at 7:37 AM~: Jen,

I enjoy your site and posts. I grew up in Eastlake (North High Class of 1990) before joining the Air Force and moving away forever. It's sad to see whats happen ed to the places that I used to go hang out, not only ESM but Randall Park Mall as well. My friends and I were definitely mallrats.

Anyways, keep up the good work. I like all aspects of 'urban decay', be it an old mall or a closed Wendys or gas station!!!
Brian commented at 7:09 PM~: Jen,

Found this link tonight. Shows many Euclid buildings for sale including the mall, the Wendy's, Toys R US, and the grocery store.

Anonymous commented at 3:52 PM~: The name of your blog is catchy, but your focus on the empty mall seems unwarranted. Its just an empty mall. Why not focus on the activity happening downtown? There are retailers moving in and out of several downtown locations. It seems this forum could be a useful place for discussion about why some prosper and others fail. This could be a place to identify needs that Euclid has, and might be a catalyst to fill them. I think that these issues are more interesting than a commentary on the empty Euclid Square Mall.
