Town & Country Shopping Center — Attraction in Whitehall

This place is historical, I believe it is the first strip mall in America, maybe the world but in good ole USA for sure... For that fact alone it's amazing it's still here... It used to have the BMV and you took your tests here but that was many moons ago.... I read a few reviews on here about it and it's amazing people blame the neighborhood and it's problems on the center, it's not to blame the people coming here are..... One review said there was trash everywhere, well show me a place that does t have trash all over..... It's the people coming there that throws down the trash and since they don't have someone who walks around 24/7 you blame the center.... They do what they can and they do have someone who cleans but he isn't there all day long..... The place gets updated all the time and the parking lot isn't full of holes so someone does care and tries to keep it nice..... Nobody can keep up with crappy people who don't care I'd like to see reviewers try to do better, I bet they wouldn't last a week let alone decades.... They have tried to keep it up and going and like I said off the start it's the first one so to still be here says something..... They even have ripped down some of the bad parts and rebuilding so yes the owners are trying you can blame society problems on them they can only try to adapt to what's going on..... Yes some of the stores are lower end ones but the neighborhood has went downhill so the big stores have moved on to better areas of town and when those get bad they'll move again..... But T&C has not given up in all these years and for that reason alone it's worth a look at and give it a shot..... Better shoppers will result in better stores coming back it's just how...

This is NOT a mall. But it is America's very first Shopping Center, modernized since the original 1940's opening. It pioneered a suburban cluster of stores, making shopping trips closer to home much more convenient than trekking to downtown Columbus. Larger anchor department stores are gone, but a great many shops thrive at "Miracle Mile" in Whitehall, Ohio. I go there for US Postal Services, office supplies at Staples, and Kroger. I see a lot of dress and accessory stores, an appliance repair parts' store, fast food chain stores, and there is a Target, too. You may park near the store you want, but stores are stretched out on both sides of East Broad Street for half a mile. Handicap parking and store entries available. Free parking in open lots in front of every business. Clean and well maintained by owner, Casto Corporation. On COTA route # 10. Bus operates early to late, 7 days a week, offers frequent service East and West and connects with routes all over the area with free transfers. A visit to Town & Country Shopping Center is a...

I try not to think about it even when I passed it but when I do think about it the horrible nightmare that reminds me when I was Bob Evans on the west side West Broad Street I order breakfast and I couldn't wait to get some home-cooked meal well I assume that it would be home cooked like home cooked meal because of everything that I'm looking at but when I receive the breakfast I noticed the blood that was in the eggs that was cooked for me and when I told the lady to take it back because it was blood and I said may I get another one she gave me the look like what the hell is just a little bit of blood when I saw that reaction that made me want to get up and leave but before I got up and left I know that she's talked to the Cook and she started laughing and my plate that I received and that's what made me not come back to Bob Evans again when I went to the manager I said I will not be eating here she said why not I told her but she didn't do nothing either nightmare...
