It has? I've honestly never noticed but in the past ten years I bet I can count the number of times I've been to the mall on one hand. No nurseries there.
I like it. Very cool.
I've shopped there many times, but never had my camera with me. Now I have another reason to shop there, besides going to the Apple Store. ;) Nice picture!
Awesome piece.
I like it a lot!
Different and I like it! Great composition, Jack! Hope your weekend is going well!
What a fun piece! I like it. I wonder what that handle on the side represents.
Magnificent! I like all the interlocking.
WOW that's pretty cool
Very dramatic!
La Tour Eiffel knock off.

Pretty cool!
It's in great condition after nearly 49 years. It makes me wonder where Alphabet Spires I to V are located.
Whether by the artist or the mall wasn't clear, but if I recall correctly it's an homage to local resident Noah Webster and his Blue Back Speller.
It's looking good for its age! I love displays like this, really livens up an otherwise typical day at the mall.
Sort of a Tower of Babel. Will its meaning change when JC Penny goes under?
So creative composition and your picture is fabulous!

Perfect for ABC Wednesday, Jack, any week :).
Haha! I just spent a few minutes checking if there were any letters missing Jack.
This is a great idea! A very creative work and really eye catching!
Shaped like the Eiffel Tower!
Amazing and truly cool!
