More than 100 residents and about a dozen city officials gathered to discuss saving Lorain Plaza on Oberlin Avenue, Lorain's only neighborhood shopping center. The meeting at St Peter Church warned that merchant changes could mirror the decline of West Gate Plaza as new superstores lure shoppers to highways. Mayor Joseph Koziura cited Retail America near interstates and urged action to protect the center.
