Although it is not a mall, per se, we are including a write-up about the Discovery City's TOWN & COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER. This innovative retail complex was a forerunner of the American shopping mall.
Don Monroe Casto, Senior (1898-1963) developed the TOWN & COUNTRY complex. His first mercantile mecca, Columbus' GRANDVIEW AVENUE SHOPPING CENTER, had opened in 1928.
