Stores/areas are closing all the time and I don't really see any sort of turnaround in site. I don't think a new Walmart in Cleveland is going to turn the tides. Just look at Rolling Acres (akron), Tower City (downtown Cleveland), Randall Park, Downtown Akron, Highland Square, etc. Everything that tries to get fixed and built up eventually closes down and falls apart. What is going to be the next mall/shopping center to be closed or have people lose interest in it??? This happens because the area is lacking JOBS. We need someone to come in here and create some good jobs. I will have to admit that Ohio seems to be in terrible shape.
