John Grindrod: Remembering the Lima Mall way back when
By John Grindrod - Guest Columnist
While developing my topic on temp jobs last week, I got to thinking about my time at Butler’s Shoes back in the late 1960s and the Lima Mall as it was back then. When I started at Butler’s in 1968, the mall was, at three years old, not much more than a toddler.
Actually, the mall as it once was had been on my mind for quite some time, at least since the decision was made to pull the plug on Macy’s and a banner headline in my hometown newspaper on March 19 told me the owner of the mall, Washington Prime Group, was nearing bankruptcy.
