It is not what it originally was ment to be. A mall for the downtown business crowd. The building is as pretty as ever but most of the stores have left. There are some boutique shops, a small Hungarian museum and a food court. There is a nice restaurant with a outdoor patio. The YMCA has a gym there. Most of the clientele is from the office buildings around the indoor mall. Such a large beautiful structure that is circular roof glass inclosed but with so few people even though it is in the middle of everything. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is 2-3 blocks down the street as is the Great Lakes Science Center, the football stadium, Lake Erie and the USS COD (a WWII sub/museum).

Are there ever any conventions at the new convention center? It's empty every time I walk by. Who knows, maybe it's not promoted either 🤔 🤷 😕 Sincerely, ...
Read moreThis is no longer a shopping destination. Other than the YMCA which is fabulous it is an empty mall with no stores and a skylight. It is so totally depressing reduced to a second floor “walking track” for city employees who have been moved to acres of empty office space because of the scamdemic. Cleveland was just rated the most dangerous unlivable city in the country topping that list for 10 years in a row. Cleveland the wealthiest city in America until 1932 is a pathetic welfare state now waiting for handouts from Joebama. The galleria is a PERFECT representation of how far...
