October 1971: Northshore Mall in Willowick Opens

In late October, 1971, Northshore Mall hosted its grand opening celebration. They advertised a Halloween value party on Saturday, October 30, 1971. Radio personality Phil McLean did his show live from 2 until 7 pm.  The new Northshore Shopping Center promised to take away the "drudgery" of shopping with covered, heated sidewalks, gorgeous landscaping, and more.

Retailers at the sparkling new shopping plaza on Lakeshore blvd and Vine street were:

  1. Perkins Pancake House
  2. Spree
  3. Char-Bett Fashions
  4. Chins Pagoda and Lounge
  5. W.J. Lamb Flooring and Carpet

  7. Dick's Northshore Barber Shop
