I live behind the mall. I’ve been to Salem Mall Cinema since I was 6 years old. I live in Trotwood for most of my 36 years of life and I can tell you that it was the place to be in the 70s and 80s. I seen plenty of movies there. Movies such as Superman, Star Wars, Home Alone I and II, Beaches, etc. The theater, along with the rest of the mall declined, beginning in 93. By late 1993, some of the seats were torn, sticky floors, fading curtains as well as rude and crude movie patrons. It has gotten so bad financially that it had to close in 1996. I wish I can go on to say more but time’s up for me on the computer. This is all for now. Good night.
