- The last remaining remnant of the old Salem Mall in Dayton/Trotwood, Ohio the former Sears has been sitting abandoned since they closed it in 2013 many years after the rest of the mall was demolished
I worked in this Sears (2060) as a stockman in1976 while going to school at ITT on Northcutt PL (I was from NE Ohio) and immediately recognized the loading dock areas as you walked in, the floor tiles and outside brick look the same. Customer service was there, too.
I even recognized the service bay I had my 73' Camaro looked at. The trash truck was still in the same bay I saw to the right as you exited.
What a trip down memory lane, thanks so much for posting this. I'm still friends to this day with a girl I met who worked in the lingerie dept. We were an item for a time in the 2 years I lived in Dayton. I still see her fresh face from then, have kept in touch but haven't seen her in person since.
The name of the security guy popped into my head, he went on to have a successful career as a detective in Dayton, I found his obituary, he was 17 years older than me.
This is as close as you can get to an actual time machine. 48 years ago...I was just starting out, it was my first time away from home and I'm now retired. My god it went so fast.
Dude, YOU GOT IN! Kudos to you, sir.
A lot of memories from there: My dad had his cars worked on there, he always joked that he was renting sears tires. I remember their record department so fondly and they sold chemistry set components and Matchbox cars. Late I bought computer games there.
My brother and I abandoned a '61 Chevy in their parking lot. Can you imagine what it might be worth now? I attended the liquidation sale, it was bittersweet to say the least.
I used to go to that Mall when I was a kid, Sad that the Dayton area has died.
Jeff Campbell Just like most every city over 50000 pop. In the US, because of liberal policies and federal tax laws that punish good behavior and reward bad behavior.
I am impressed with how intact this store is still. Glad it has not been trashed. Too bad the fuse boxes have been stripped out you could have turned on a few lights. Thanks for the video.
I'm not.
The meters have been puled, there is no juice to that building.
Another good Historical record !
Awesome video and all by yourself! You have confidents!
Enjoyable, hope you carried an extra set of batteries for your light, hate to think of trying to find your way out in total darkness
The battery is good for 13 hours and I had enough battery juice left on my phone even after the video
Awesome video
Sallys in trotwood is gone
There was an optical department, a dentist, a photographer, and a car/truck service center in that Sears. As you face the store from the front, the car service center was to the far right. Our daughter worked as a receptionist at the dentist office. We lived on Westbrook Road just north of the Salem Mall when we first moved to Ohio in 1996. Store is still standing, still empty. Everything is leaving Trotwood. The Walgreen's that just opened, has now closed.
The sad legacy of red lining and ghettoization..
Cool video brought back a lot of memories. Used to live towards Englewood on the north side of I70. My dad was one of the night evening shift automotive manager for as long as I can remember at this Sears at the Salem Mall. I used to caddy at Meadowbrook country club made a Ton of money as a teenager and spent most of it at the Salem Mall and Hara watching the Dayton Gems hockey growing up......we moved to Florida in ‘75 and the rest is history, Thanks for the post.
I believe my mom worked here in late 80s to early 90s
Hey man are you doing ok after the storm
Posting for a notification, if we hear from him.
I already posted my own question
@@MrTheHillfolk what do you mean if we don't hear from him
@@darrylclay2105 oops sorry about any confusion.
He replied to my message and said hed have vids soon
@@MrTheHillfolk wow you're everywhere
Yo bro how did you get away with this? I broke in on the 15th of December and the police showed up within 45 minutes...
Hey man how did you make it through the storm
Yes I did, new videos will be online very shortly
@@Rvdecwthug whew good deal i heard it was pretty bad
Im expecting a zombie to come out at any moment. Watched too much walking dead
You and me both lol! 😂
Where's the Trotwood police when you really need them?
Sorry to use your comment section for this, but I couldn’t find any other way to reach out. My wife and I are travel nurses and may be taking an assignment in Dayton for the first of July. You definitely seem like a reputable source of info on the better places to live. We always rent a house with a fenced back yard. Any suggestions on at least where to stay away from?
Thank you,
Andy
You got in! That’s amazing! Is this building still standing after the tornado?
Yes as far as I know
@@Rvdecwthug 2020 and I live in Trotwood. Still standing, still empty.
I assume that's the old mall entrance at 7:54?
WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAA
Well it’s now demolished because of the tornado
Well not until the demolition contractors come in there and tear down the rest of it. But yeah it is far beyond the point of saving now
This building is still standing
Was that taken before or after the tornado?
It was about 10 days before the tornados
Is this by the Salem Mall ??
Yes this is the only part of the Salem Mall that was left after they demolished the main part of it
