What is the status with the Salem Mall? It has all but entirely been torn down. I have no idea how many years that location has been used as the "Bus Stop" to Hara, but I had heard rumors that the new mall might not be so amenable. Well: Stop believing "rumors." Here are the facts: The Salem Mall is under a multi-year renovation and next year there will be no parking at that location due to construction. Mayor McLauren says he is personally involved in finding an alternate parking site and has gone on record (and I have the tape) saying that there will be off-site parking available to replace the Salem Mall. So its a matter of waiting to find out where. Once the Salem Mall re-opens, parking will return. The Salem Mall was taken over by the city of Trotwood which is underwriting the rebuild in association with private investors. Since the city now has this control and is very friendly with Hamvention, I suspect that it will be available once construction is completed. As I said in the story and will reiterate here: Do not believe the rumor mongers and the ill-intentioned bloggers who report only inuendo. None of that is fact as none of them have any access to the political leaders that the credentialed working press has. Bloggers and rec.radio posters are -- in reality -- naught but rumor-mongers -- and nothing more. If you want to believe them, then you do so at your own risk of being misled.
