This would be a big loss for the city

If you give some more hints to the kind of stuff you'd want, we could give good recommendations.

Like art museums or history museums? Flowers? Outdoorsy or hiking stuff? Pro sports? Ice skating, bowling? Drinking?

Ross Park Mall is still around but if you just want to go to a generic mall I'm sure you have those in Columbus too.

When I have first timers visiting this city I like to recommend them to just go to the heart of a relatively walkable neighborhood and just experience walking through all the restaurants and shops and bars etc. Go to Butler Street in Lawrenceville and you might be set for half a day tbh. Another couple hours around Smallman Street in the Strip District, another couple hours on Walnut Street in Shadyside.

Food wise, check Yelp cuz there's a lot of good spots including a bunch of good international cuisines. Haven't been but I hear the Grand Concourse is pretty overpriced / overrated. Yeah the view is great but you could also get the view at any of the viewpoints on Mount Washington. Either way, definitely take the incline up to the top as it's a unique experience.
