Talk:Forest Fair Village

Much ado about, well, a mall?
Maybe I'm missing something—it certainly wouldn't be the first time—but who on earth cares about the day-to-day historical tribulations of a mall in a relatively small town in Ohio? The mall's current and former management, maybe? Even they must have other concerns from time to time. I'm hoping they do, at least. :?O – AndyFielding (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, Cincinnati is a "relatively small" town. Practically BFE. Even notwithstanding my own personal interest in the topic, I think this one is of particular interest to the general public because of its extremely tumultuous history.

 * Just saw this article. I can assure this was a huge deal when it opened. I used to work for BW3 and people from my store in Clifton were often “loaned out” to the Forest Fair store because it was so busy they couldn’t keep up. So to see it go from that to a “ghost mall” is a tale worth telling in my opinion. There’s clearly plenty of sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * well the mall is closed now and this era of retail is quickly dissapearing, if everyone waved off the importance of documenting the history of establishments like this the reasons they existed and the reasons they suddenly disappeared would be lost to time, maybe little articles like this are more important than you think Alexxers (talk) 08:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

the theater
Slight tweak may be in order, the article says “Super Saver theater was converted to a discount theater called Danbarry Dollar Saver.“ The Super Saver was already a discount theater, as the name implies. It was a second-run theater that charged $1.50, making profit by sheer volume. Not sure I have a source for that, maybe there’s something in one of the sources already in use?

 * I reworded it slightly. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I know this place was never full, but it did used to get busy on weekends. I’d drive all the way out there from the city with my friends to see cheap movies. But the last time I was out that way (still have relatives in the area) it was completely desolate. What’s weird is that the surrounding area developed after the mall and most of those businesses seem to be doing fine, hotels, restaraunts and stand-alone box stores are all up and down both sides of the highway here.
