I live in Chesapeake, Ohio and used to go to the Children's Palace in Barboursville, WV just across the Ohio River. The building is still there and has it's towers. Michael's occupies it currently. Not at all what anyone was asking about, but I just wanted to throw up some Children's Palace love.

Ohio Duke, thank you for the info. It is much appreciated. I am loking for CP buildings in Ohio, but also looking for CP buildings that still have the towers on the facade. Most old CP buildings had the towers torn down when they went out of business. Thanks again for the heads up. I might have to make a road trip.

I am trying to put together a list of locations of old Children Palace toy stores that were in Ohio. I know of only 2, Boardman and Dayton Ohio.
Was there any old CP toy stores in Cincinnati? If so, could any Tankers possibly tell me their locations and or if there is a business currently in an old CP store. Thanks! |

Well I made a road trip a few days ago to Cincy near the old Western Hills Mall. I found an old CP building that was turned into a Drug Emporium. No towers on the front of the building but you could definitley tell it used to be a CP because it had the 3 arched windows. I looked inside the windows and saw all different color floor tiles. I am not sure if these were the same floor tiles from CP or Drug Emporium. If you are able to get more info about an old CP building by Northgate mall please let me know. Just looking for info if there is a business in the old CP store that I could go and take some pictures. |

Got more intel for ya... The CP in Northgate was located at 9345 Colerain Avenue, which is now a Big Lots. I don't think you'd ever know it by looking at the place now. Here is a recent pic thanks to Google Earth.

shortly after they closed down i think. i know for sure at least fifteen years now. sorry i was mistaken, in my previous post. about ten years ago or so the whole plaza refurnished the ruff so the towers are long gone now. What I meant was that you can still see wear the plastic arches were on the front of the building. You have to look closely at the wall, over the years of being open to the elements, the color difference has almost faded away. the old dick's building in middle burge heights next to sears is wear kiddy city used to be. sadly i was only in that store once as a kid around 1988 or so.

No prob bro! If you find anything that still resembles CP, please post the pics... you got me all curious now. I wonder if you can sweet-talk one of the employees into having a look in the back too.
