Wordless Wednesday: Cool Architecture in San Diego

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

I stumbled across this building quite some time ago and still find it one of the more intriguing pieces of architecture that I've seen in City Heights in America's Finest City.

 

The Tower Building in San Diego

 

It's been home to The Tower Bar since 1932 and I believe there is a tatoo parlor on the 2nd floor. Maybe I need to pay a visit again.

Rather cool and funky.....I'd certainly give the bar a try but not so sure about the tattoo parlor.

Agreed. But if they gave temporary tats I might think about it. Might.

Hi, Jeff. That's a pretty neat building. It sure stands out in this area. I think you should go in for a drink and a tattoo and let us know what it's like on the inside.

Yeah, I could see a tattoo parlor in there! They could simply use the drawings from the actual building.

Well I am up for the drink and maybe a bite to eat, but no tattoos. Not my thing. But as I said to Roger, maybe a temporary one (have done that before)

A martini sounds great, but only on the weekend!

I am in good health (hope you now are too!) but our kids and grandkids were around but they had colds...so we'll see what happens.

My bet is there IS a Tower Building Tatoo. If I WAS into tatoos, that could be kinda cool.

Hi Jeff -- interesting shape and color --- there are so many things that we can discover in each of cities when we are aware and stop to take notice.  Thanks for sharing this photo.
