The closing of Randall Park Mall on June 12 brought to mind an earlier, more significant loss in the same area, when the long-inactive Miles Drive-In finally came down. It had been abandoned for years but had been allowed to stand, its delicate blue and salmon hues weathering bravely in the harsh northeast Ohio winters.
At one point there was a brief mention in the press of some desultory movement toward restoring and re-opening the drive-in, but that obviously went nowhere. Over the years, unremarkable office buildings and small businesses grew up around it.
Its disappearance went unheralded. Now it's a housing development.Canon EOS, Fuji Reala. Photos from 2004.
