The nation's first indoor shopping arcade, the Cleveland Arcade, opens in 1890 – not on this date but, still, it’s a good day to visit. The arcade cost $875,000 to build, and John D. Rockefeller, Marcus Hanna and a few others with too much money and wives who wanted to shop built the place. Check out the gargoyles. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, the Arcade has a stunning 100-foot-high skylight.
