Tower Theater


It was amusing to see the movie "Sacramento" in Sacramento at the iconic Tower Theater. What I didn't realize, as someone who spent a lot of time at Tower Records in New York, was that the roots of that store are right here. The founder's father worked in this building (which is actually a block-long shopping complex), and when he opened his first record store in the Arden Arcade area, named it after the theater complex. So what's going on with Sacramento and towers? It probably began with the Tower Bridge, which was built in 1935.
