Now there is talk of converting the mall portion to a sort of blockchain office facility, keeping the theatre and kicking out the food court and remaining stores. The cineplex remains busy as always, though down to 10 screens from 11. Only one sit-down restaurant (Morton's Steakhouse) remains. Ever since Dillard's left in 2001, the mall itself has declined almost to irrelevance: very few chains, tacky shirt shops, and a food court that really needs help. While it began with high hopes (a 120-store retail palace with food court, cineplex, sit-down restaurants, etc) back in 1990, time and the economy have been cruel to it. However, the mall portion-the Avenue at Tower City-has definitely seen better days. My family has seen it from its first days back in the 1930s. As the center of the City and County, the full Tower City Center itself (Avenue, JACK Casino, Tower Offices & Residences, Renaissance & Ritz-Carlton hotels, Landmark, Skylight, Post Office Plaza & State Office Bldg) is an integral part of our Bioregion's life.
