It seems like it has been many years since Clocktower Shopping Center, at 70th and A, has been a vibrant, go-to spot. The whole shopping center was once filled. Long-time Lincolnites will of course remember Clocktower as the former home of Garden Cafe. (Man I miss that place!) In recent years, however, there have been many empty storefronts.
Lately there has been a lot more activity at the corner. Jimmy John's showed up, for one, and Rocket Fizz is coming soon. Plenty of other new businesses are sprouting as well.
It's nice to see such a major intersection showing some fresh activity. Just like 40th and Old Cheney feels more vibrant now that the new hardware store has opened, and 48th and O is starting to feel better as well. Can you think of other major intersections around town that feel like they're coming to life after periods of doldrums?

Good news - Rocket Fizz opened last week. And Saturday night they were busy - so glad to see that.
Oh wow, they opened already? I had no idea the timeline from announcement to opening would be so short. Good for them!
yep, Rocket Fizz opened a while ago. i’ve been there twice already and love it.
Good to see some businesses opening up there. I’ll have to give Rocket Fizz a try sometime. 48th and O is improving but the east side of 48th from O to R is pretty dead still. Actually, O St. in general could use a bit of a facelift. Between the potholes and vacant buildings, our main street isn’t a strong selling point for Lincoln
