Toledo's Franklin Park Mall: A History - Paperback

by Chris Bores (Author)

The Franklin Park Mall in Toledo, Ohio was the iconic shopping hub for locals who grew up in the 1970's and 80's. Kids visited Hobby Center Toys and the Rainbow Shop, families ate at York Steak House and bought meats and cheese at Hickory Farms. Many others pumped quarters into games at Red Baron or browsed the music selection at National Record Mart. Gathering almost 400 images (many in full color!), the original floor map and the history of every store at every location, author Chris Bores delivers a trip down memory lane with long lost histories of each business unearthed from the early days of Toledo's historic Franklin Park Mall.
