I pass through Tower City twice a day: once in the morning on my way to work, and once on the way home. As much as I wish I could say this place is awesome, it falls pretty short in a lot of areas. Whether it is the general lack of unique stores or the underwhelming food court options, Tower City just isn't the buzzing "heart of the city" I imagined it would be.
You are probably wondering why I gave this "shadow of its former self" a 3 out of 5, so let me explain: this building is gorgeous. I mean, breathtaking. If there is one thing you do while passing through Tower, it needs to be this: LOOK. UP. The ornate ceilings and archways are what singlehandedly pull this review back off the ledge and allow Tower to walk a way with a respectable 3 stars.
