Opening Day
Golf Mill opened to the public in October 1960 as an open-air mall and featured an office tower (designed to look like the top of a golf ball) and Sears. It featured a full "mill" theme, complete with ponds, bridges, and a working waterwheel. Soon after opening, a Lord's department store was built, but closed after a few years and was replaced by JCPenney. Around that time, the Mill Run Playhouse was built at the north end of the complex. It wasn't connected to the mall corridors proper.

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or day:
“The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by thy flood,
And lost in following years.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“It is day still, you better get busy!
Night will intrude when no one can be active.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
