MayDay

And some of them can ban your sorry @ss! :evil:

Taurus sun sign, Sagittarius rising.

Some great photos of a great city!

I just wish we'd get actual photos of these places where "ooh, I can see it from ____" and "the view from ______ really shows how it'll look!" HelLO?!? City's new tallest building?!? Ohio's soon-to-be 3rd tallest?!? Ah, f' it, at least we have these descriptions of how it looks! :roll:

Every now and then I think we all encounter and endure something so repeatedly and for so long that even if it means forfeiting a little bit of karma, we just gotta say it: The Justice Center in downtown Cleveland - and the oblivious (and likely uninsured) temp-tagged drivers who stop in the middle of the street to drop off whoever for whatever hearing/indictment/sentencing, and then try to re-enter traffic without any regard to their surroundings. Yeah, sorry to jar you and your soon-to-be incarcerated mate out of your crack/crunk/godonlyknows induced hangover, but there ARE other people in the world. And as Kathy Bates said in 'Fried Green Tomatoes' - we have more insurance! :evil:

I'm not a fan of these - I'd rather people stop and take the time to follow threads and come up with their own opinion.

Okay, who knew we'd have such unseasonably warm weather in November? It's been in the 50s and today will be in the 60s? Alex Lee-Hotter Hope you enjoyed!

All I have to say about the mayor and his "date": The Money Pit

So I took a little road trip to visit one of my best friends in Cincinnati. The soundtrack for this thread is a little tune by the Afghan Whigs: And we're off! I have to wonder - is this place just a tourist trap or could it be the home to the best cheeses on earth? One day I'll have to actually stop: After the zombie drive through Wayne, Ashland, Richland, Morrow and Delaware counties, we finally see civilization again: In addition to this guy, we saw three fighter jets flying in formation over Columbus - was there an airshow? The Cap on High Street: High Street in the Short North: This guy kept staring at me during lunch! So I had to high-tail it outta there! See you soon, Columbus! Alright the next day, we head to Cincy - en route I see this building which my friend says is a retirement home for nuns: YeeeeeeHAW!!!! On 471 northbound, we catch a glimpse of the soon-to-be third tallest building in the State: High-rises along the hills overlooking the Ohio River: Another skyline view with the 471 (aka Big Mac) bridge: Heading into Newport (helLO - The Party Source! http://www.thepartysource.com/ ), with Mt. Adams in the background: Alright we're all stocked up on booze party supplies, off to lunch we go: Some pricey real estate in them thar hills: Did I mention I had a ColDayMan sighting at lunch! :-o Just a tad hilly around here! Lovely architecture, and a car full of beatnik whippersnappers: Some blocks are better than others: As my friend said - Findlay Market is really good, but Cleveland's West Side Market blows it out of the water: Not sure if this is an old or new bridge but I do like how the city embraces its Art Deco heritage: Typical outerbelt accoutrements: Ahh, much better - the view of downtown Cincinnati from the parking lot of the Celestial restaurant. We had planned to eat at Senate but they weren't open yet so we went to Rookwood instead - love the "hanky pankies"! :-) The next day, we headed down Columbia Parkway (aka Rt. 52) - one heck of a quirky strip: I believe we were close to the Columbia-Tusculum area: Stopped for lunch where I saw one of my favorite cars - a BMW Neue Klasse: The Precinct - once a police station, now a steak house: And off we go - sorry I couldn't get a better shot but I love how you can see both Queen City Square and Carew Tower behind the hills: We finally arrive at the art museum - apparently there was a floral exhibit going on, so lots of funky bouquets/arrangements along with the artwork: Hey jack@ss, you're in the shot!!! :roll: A piece of Rookwood Pottery: But it was time to head home - on the way back, looks like construction at Kenwood Town Center: Kings Island, the last glimpse of civilization before Columbus: Like I said... :roll: Oh thank god - something to see other than rows of corn! Sorry about that - the roof of the Mini curves a little :| Goodnight from Cleveland - hope you enjoyed:

I was there to visit one of my best friends; we were on a tight schedule but I did manage to see ColDayMan; and yes a full photo thread is in the works.

I was too busy enjoying beer (Stone Smoked Porter) and hanky pankies from Rookwood ;-)

Thanks and yep, last shot was from the parking lot next to the Celestial :-)

This thread is closed until there's actual construction happening; disciplinary action will be forthcoming.

Apparently if I want something done, I have to do it myself! ;-)

"But I can't think of a dumb one in the bunch" You're FAR more diplomatic than I am!

Just a few quick photos:

I've driven by and they're doing a substantial amount of excavation all over the site; I'm pretty sure that's only for the infrastructure improvements for now.

Looks like they found a 7th body :-\ http://www.wkyc.com/news/local/news_article.aspx?storyid=124649&catid=3

I prefer it from Youngstown's own:

I'm not sure that this thread was ever on topic, but let's get back to "Pittsburgh and Cleveland". For pity's sake, I'm unemployed and even *I* don't have as much free time as you knuckleheads!

They do, and stop calling me Shirley!
