Contrary to the reviews posted on this site, I do have to say that the Avenue at Tower City Center has its perks. One can see a movie, have dinner outside or in the food court, and maybe get a little shopping done - all without driving or paying to park. I understand that many like to shop at the outdoor malls but honestly this is not for me.
Downtown Cleveland is definitely on the upswing with the East Bank, Convention Center, Casino, drastically increasing population, and over 1000 new jobs. This will most likely lead to the improvement of the mall as well, especially if Dan Gilbert buys it. I also noticed that the newer reviews have generally given a better rating which is a good sign.
So good luck Tower City, I truly believe you have potential. Just not one that Forest City Enterprises cares to explore.
