"^^ Thanks MayDay :-) Anyone know what those units are priced like? That location looks like it might be perfect, with the obvious exception of lacking a grocery store, and i always thought the building looked pretty cool." Not really sure - I can ask for you. Keep in mind that you have Constantino's on West 9th and the Reserve Square grocery not too far, a CVS further up Euclid and you'd be about a block from Tower City for taking the Rapid over to the West Side Market. So the groceries might involve a modest schlep but not that bad in the grand scheme. -

The 11th tentatively works for me.

Just an fyi, Baltimore's tallest is 529', same height as the Tower at Erieview.
Saw a flyer for a "Save National City" site... what does it say when the site has a photo of the Baltimore skyline on their homepage? :roll: http://www.savencb.com/ They're supposed to have a rally at noon on Friday at Public Square.
"RTA really needs to hire a serious graphics designer" A serious graphic"s" designer? As someone with over 15 years in the industry, I would caution you - to never, EVER, refer to anyone in said position as a graphics designer. Just. Don't.
Not sure, but the place is packed (occasionally annoying so) at lunch - a good problem to have.
Get it back on topic (aka the photos), folks. :roll:
^Take a gander at some of the clothing and jewelry that Lois Aldrin sports to different social events. I don't think the whole "capsule/5000F/plummet-to-earth" thing fazed her too much ;-)
rockandroller, did our advice help, and what did you think of the Healthline on its own merits, and compared to the previous service?
As far as gifts for others, I've usually given my loved ones photos that I snapped earlier in the year. Those are more personal, and those seem to be more appreciated than some tchotchke. I might splurge a little for my partner and immediate family but nothing over the top. As for me, I was planning to spend a little to upgrade my camera and equipment, but considering 1. my camera's done alright so far and 2. most of the major projects I had planned to photograph have been postponed indefinitely or canceled, and 3. who knows just how bad the economy will get, I figure I might as well wait until after the holidays.

Oh nooooo, I'm just being melodramatic when I say I weep for the future! :roll:

^Yep, the Walker building is at the corner of Euclid and East 105th - per the CCF map, that's the last numbered street before Stokes.
Anyone know the Heimlich maneuver? People ask me how it's possible for me to live in Cleveland and not really be into sports - here's a clue: I'm seeing nothing but CHOKING all over the f#cking place!
rockandroller, do you know the name of the specific building? From your description it sounds like the W.O. Walker building.
Don't forget that the city of Cincinnati directly subsidizes some of their downtown stores - can you imagine if Cleveland handed a $6.6 million check over to a luxury retailer like Saks?!? It's not as if the playing field is level here.
I guess Huntington has a think for pinkish granite buildings:
And the signage renderings... not sure that I'm a fan of the offset logo (the small "H" on the sides isn't so bad):
