Eye on Blackpool

By Linda Tancs

Blackpool is a seaside borough in northwest England.  Heavily dependent on tourism, its newly regenerated Promenade features, among other things, a reopening of its iconic, Eiffel-esque tower.  After a 10-month restoration project, the structure boasts an entertainment complex befitting any tourist destination, including a dungeon and 4D cinema.  But nothing beats the panoramic view of the Eye, the refurbished observation deck with views rivaling London’s famous wheel.  On a clear day you can see forever, as the song goes.
