Major Tourist Attraction - Science Centre, Museum or Aquarium
London needs a tourist attraction that would attract visitors from the Great Lakes region. Some kind of major museum or science centre or aquarium would bring people from all over and would be great for Londoners to come to. Check out http://www.tnaqua.org/Home.aspx and you will see what Chattanooga, Tennessee built. It's a major draw from all over the Southern USA. Chattanooga used to be a dump, but now with this attraction, they are a tourist hotspot. We are in a perfect location and we are a nice size and safe city. The hotels would love to have something like this as well.

This is a big one actually! London has NO tourism industry. JLC is NOT a draw for the core-at best it helps the odd bar or restaurant for a few hours, but nothing else comes from it. We need a bit, long term, permanant tourism icon to bring people to the city and hopefully the downtown. Until that happens, London is just a place where you work, drive home from work, and drive to the malls to shop. Sorry folks- London is car addictied and has NO tourism draw. Lets fix that!
