Had Kim Kardashian wanted to add some class to her wedding she would have held it at Tower City. Fortunately for us she did not as The Avengers was being filmed at its front door bringing enough commotion.
What was once a cavernous dull space was beautifully converted into a world-class shopping center. I have seen the marble stairs and lower level in a movie that was supposedly where the characters were shopping in LA. Looking thru skylights I can see the Terminal Tower looming above. If I have a Big Mac attack I can sit by a window overlooking the Flats and the river. I have perched on the marble seats to watch the dancing waters.
There are places to eat, to get coffee and to shop. Many have noted the loss of the upper end stores yet none claimed they bought much at any of them. Not hard to figure why they closed.
With a rapid transit hub and movies I am glad that Tower City is the shopping mall closest to my house. I enjoy the Friday market where I can buy cookies from an Amish bakery or nut rolls from a home baker. I see reviews from younger Cleveland yelpers relating their terror of one more place in our city. Maybe the sight of one thug makes you run away with your hands in the air, some of us seniors do not plan to give away our city that easily.
This splendid structure belongs to me as much as it does to any thug. I intend to enjoy all the best my city has to offer.
