Talk:Tower City Center

Names

I'm having a bit of difficulty with the wording of this entry. While I understand how Tower City Center is a name that can be applied to the entire redevlopment, Terminal Tower is still Terminal Tower - one piece of the whole.

Wouldn't it more sense to introduce section headers that break out Terminal Tower (skyscraper) and then Tower City (entire complex)? user: stude62 talk:stude62 16:53, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I agree. It seems to me that in regular usage, when people say "Terminal Tower" they mean something different than Tower City Center, and in fact vice versa. People who work in the office tower rarely say they work at "Tower City" and those that work in the mall aren't likely to say they work at "Terminal Tower." I guess my feeling is that the two names aren't interchangrable and therefore it may be misleading to say that "Tower City Center is also known as Terminal Tower" or to even say that "Tower City Center...is a landmark skyscraper," when most consider the tower to be the skyscraper and Tower City Center to be a shopping center and transit hub. 69.171.46.152 05:24, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Okay, I think I've got everything straight now. I had a look through Eric Johannesen's Cleveland Architecture, Clay Herrick's Cleveland Landmarks, and Holly Rarick's Progressive Vision, and they all seem to agree on the dates. - EurekaLott 23:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that construction began in 1922. I've never heard of that before. From my sources, they all state 1926 as the first year of construction, with 1924 being the first excavation of the site and 1925 being the first public showing of the structure's plans. I changed it back to 1926 for now, but other than that, everything looks great.- Clevelander 00:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
