    Welcome to the Carew Tower, Legion! This episode is nearly a half decade in the making, and I'm so glad I was finally able to take you all on a swing dance through this amazing art deco masterpiece. The roaring 20's of the 1900's must have been such a crazy time. From prohibition, to the aftermath of World War I and Prohibition, and then the Great Depression giving way to World War II...what a time. But, we did get Carew from that time, along with some incredible advancements in sound and cinema. I hope you all enjoy!

      Thanks Sal for recommending us to watch Kristin's take on the Carew Tower. I recently clicked on the link and watched her video. I am glad I took your word for it. She has a very unique way of presenting her videos. I love a woman's perspective as well. She is a class of her own. I am getting hooked on the dead mall genre because like most everyone here, we all have a bit of nostalgia growing up and walking through these concourses. I still love mall shopping versus online shopping. There is no better way of shopping than trying on clothes, smelling the scents of perfume, looking at physical media forms like books and games, and actually eating inside a building with people around. All these vanished during the pandemic. Thank you Sal and to all of you who are trying to preserve some of the things we once cherish. That is the mall.

    I can picture Humphrey Bogart sitting in the Palm Court drinking his cocktail. I had dinner there back in the eighties. Beautiful interiors and the best Art Deco I have ever seen. That Palm Court would make a perfect movie setting for a thirties or forties inspired film.

    Cincinnati is one of the coolest cities in America. If you are of a certain age most of your cherished childhood memories originated from there in Kenner Toys (Star Wars). It also has a incredible zoo in the middle of a neighborhood. The oldest professional sports team in the Reds, a really interesting abandoned Subway story annd - I could go on and on about the wonderful Queen City.

    I could tell you filmed this video in 2021 haha. I used to work Security right along with the officer you met that night. Worked there from 2019-2022. I still remember the day they shut everything down for the pandemic. I worked all through it at that place. It's a shame you didnt get any footage of some of the Hiltons best ball rooms on the 3rd floor. The Hall of Mirrors being one of them.. also some of the floors on the Tower side had not been touched in over 40 years so going on those floors like the 40th floor was like a step back in time. There is still a 3rd building thats condemned by the city thats attached between Carew Tower and the Hilton that was almost hidden and nicknamed the "T- building". Never knew why lol there was even a racquetball court inside that building along with some very very old Victorian wheelchairs. In the LL on the Tower side where the office elevators are, there was a place called the Landmark room which was locked but it used to be a comedy room. Thats where a lot of the Asbestos and black mold was lol lots of little cool things about that building that not many people knew or will ever see. I ended up losing that job when Powers finally "sold" the building. Great building.. terrible ownership

    So, not abandoned, but my mom had to go to the ICU in Cinci about a month ago. She’s okay, bad reaction during a surgery. But we were in Christ Hospital in the middle of the night on the top of the Clifton hill over looking downtown and NO ONE was there.
    Super tall stories and huge sweeping windows, it was beautiful but felt REALLY liminal and familiar. Like I’d been there before but I definitely hadn’t.
    And it hit me: “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” was filmed there. And we were in the exact same spots and looking at the same sweeping vistas overlooking the city and in the same rooms so many of scenes were in. It still wasn’t full at all during the day. It was gorgeous and a nice distraction for a really scary time.

    Happy Birthday, and thanks for posting this. I lodged at this hotel for work in downtown Cincinnati 7 years ago and it was an amazing stay. I opted for the bar's Manhattans (w/ Four Roses), which were superb, and like you, I would get a to-go glass to take back to the room. I wandered around the mezzanine, staircases and 3rd and 4th floor ballrooms gaping like a Muppet at the murals, the mirrors, the lighting and the all the other stunnning decorative fixtures. But I didn't know all of the history, of the site, beyond the bits curated and posted by Hilton in the wall display cases scattered around. so thanks again for the deep dive and detail! It is hard to capture the scale and ambience of a place like that in photos but you did a great job with your video.
    I hope that little diner in the below lobby arcade is still operating. It is (or was) a well preserved midcentury coffee shop, I got an early egg breakfast there a few times. Saks was still open when I went, as well as a Macy's across the street, but they were both nearly empty of shoppers any time I went in.

    I used to work downtown in the office tower in the Westin building, in the late 90's and early 2000s and spent a lot of time in and around Tower Place mall before moving away. I knew the mall had closed but had no idea that they actually turned the middle of it into a parking garage! That place used to be absolutely bustling during the day, so it's so strange to think of it as dead.
    We used to go to the food court for lunch some days and I can remember there used to be one of those Japanese stir-fry places that to this day, I remember as the yummiest of those ever. I can also specifically remember there was a Best Buy in the mall, where I bought a Sony VCR that I think I still have to this day.
    The Skywalk in Cincinnati used to connect nearly all of the buildings along Fourth and Fifth street (and used to go even further) above ground level so you could easily go from one shopping location to the next. I used to park several blocks away but since you could walk entirely on the Skywalk, I'd go through that lobby every day.
    Thanks for putting this together and sharing it! It's bittersweet to witness the demise of the former mall, but wonderful that the Carew Tower is still beautiful and well kept.

    Downtown Cincinnati is one of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky gems. Yet a lot of people in the area as well as outside continue to think that Downtown Cincinnati is not a good place to visit. Yet the geographic heart of the area is in Downtown, Fountain Square Plaza. Today the Fountain is looking towards the South. Oddly South is the location of the Riverfront. Oddly the Riverfront has help the region very well. The river is the region's blood.
    On the Sunday before Labor Day, there is Riverfest one of the nation's best Fireworks shows. Riverfest symbolizes the end of Summer in the region. While the region has its flaws, it is a good place to visit. One of the problems in the Region is the weather. Yet if anyone wants to visit the region, they need to plan very carefully. They have a great choice of hotels to select from. Also there are a variety of places to visit.

    I LOVE Art Deco architecture, and Art Nouveau as well. Sal, I wonder if you'd have any interest in going to the old Bullocks building on Wilshire Blvd. In Los Angeles...not a dead mall per se, but a former shopping center, a historical landmark, and a architectural icon...also very Art Deco. I think you can only access it at certain times of year, and even then only parts, but if you explain to them what you do and your channel etc., it might segue into a more extensive tour or access. It would be a worthwhile episode, and I'd line up for it. Food for thought.

    The most outstanding aspects of this hotel are there for all to see and the story behind the Art Deco designer could make an intriguing hour-ling story. The vantage points are captured by many people who visit there. I would love to see coverage on that and the architectural details of the dead mall as part of it. The hotel, by itself, is worthy of an in-depth narrative and professional video prospective. No hotel like it in the world ! That would be a great story!

    Incredible spot, featuring sub-mediocre ownership. Couldn’t keep staff to save our lives, couldn’t find anyone to care.

    Honestly, the only mall doing well in Cincinnati is the Kenwood Towne Centre, in case you do a serious on thriving malls.

    Polaris Fashion Place had nothing to do with the failure of any Cincinnati downtown mall/stores, because that's Columbus. Anyway, Carew Tower is cool and it's a bummer that the Observation Deck has never opened back up. The Skywalk was also really neat and it's unfortunate that there's very little of it still accessible.

      I didn’t say it did. But it’s part of the story of super regional malls overtaking smaller outlets.

    So, I am absolutely driven to distraction by that piece of music that was playing when you were talking about the drone and it was raining. It’s so familiar, but I can’t remember what it’s called., or what I know it from.
    Please help it’s breaking my brain.

      No, it closed a few years ago. It may have been already been closed when this was filmed. Hathaway's Diner moved from its location more inside the Carew Tower to the old Frisch's location in 2021 but it ended up closing last year after 70 years in business. It was sad.
