MayDay

Nah - as good as my early 30s were, post-40 life has been better than I could have imagined ... except for the metabolism being replaced by mandatory cardio :-)

^It's the space that used to be One Walnut (upscale restaurant with Marlin Kaplan as head chef).

^We have something along those lines for the Admins/Mods to keep tabs on threads that are pruned. Thing is, whenever 'significant deletions' take place, it's not like it's rocket science as to why - half of the pruned posts usually have "well, not to go further off topic" or similar sentiments.

Okay folks, we have threads to discuss crime- let's get back on topic.

These are great - looking forward to seeing more.

Mystery solved - I've said for years the Tiffany rumor was just that. http://www.cleveland.com/architecture/index.ssf/2016/11/mystery_solved_researcher_find.html#incart_river_mobile_home

I think once some of the high profile projects come to fruition, we'll see sites like that get more attention. The big name hotel chains are usually the last to arrive to emerging neighborhoods.

Posting as a friendly fyi - the Admins and owners of this forum do not condone, encourage or endorse trespassing or gaining illegal access for photography purposes.

Looks like they caught a suspect. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/10/arrest_made_in_fatal_shooting.html#incart_river_mobileshort_home

When Sandy hit Cleveland with winds measured at 67mph at Burke airport, I was driving. On the Main Avenue bridge. In a Mini Cooper convertible. :-( #thoughtIwasgoingtodie

Discussion of the next use of the site is fine, but specific comments about Unique and its role in the community should be reserved for the Cleveland Retail thread (but thank you for keeping on topic!)

Apparently Unique Thrift on Lorain is closing - I don't have too many details but was surprised to hear it.

Opening ceremony tomorrow morning at 10am, accessible at East Ninth Street http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D12/Deputy%20Director/News/Pages/You're-Invited-to-Celebrate-the-Opening-of-the-Eastbound-GVVBridge.aspx

I would contact Dr. Donna DeBlasio at YSU. She was tremendously helpful when I requested information for the Youngstown section on my site, clevelandskyscrapers.com

Wow - it's been too long since I've been to Cincinnati and the last time I was in Over-the-Rhine proper, I was cutting a rug with friends at Club DV8. Definitely need to check this out, looks amazing!

It's been a busy summer but had some time to get some photos at Whiskey Island, Public Square, Flats East Bank and took in a Browns preseason game and the Indians making history :-) En route to Whiskey Island, new construction in Detroit-Shoreway: It was a busy day on the water, and it's hard to find a better spot for volleyball: New residential construction plugging along on Detroit Avenue: Over to Flats East Bank - it's been open for a while but haven't really had time to check it out. I suppose there's a "Crocker Park" feel to it, but it was hopping and with the river, bridges, Lake Erie, it's such a unique spot and I'm so glad to see it being so active: Cute little 95' yacht parked at Shooters :wink: Granted there's a fence and security cameras but I was surprised to see the boardwalk went right up to the "Iron Curtain" bridge: On a hot day, the Metroparks water taxi was a godsend to get to the West Bank - $2 per person for an all day pass: Views from the water taxi: View of and from the West Bank: It just isn't a day in the Flats without a huge freighter making its way along the Cuyahoga: A few shots of Public Square - not sure how I feel about reopening Superior Avenue to bus traffic, maybe on a limited basis? Regardless, like Flats East Bank, it's fantastic to see so many people enjoying the redeveloped space: Next up, the Browns vs. the Falcons preseason game - I was fortunate to enjoy it from a suite :clap: Pre-game warmup excercises: Season ticket holders with the Flag: Swagger, the Browns big 'dawg' Only the right helmet flame was working, one of several mishaps on the field that evening :roll: Since the views *of* the stadium were getting depressing, I headed outside for a few shots - no tripods allowed so apologies for the blur and noise: RG3 did alright and it's still the preseason, right? Next up, the Indians and the epic walkoff win - I'm embarrassed to say I didn't get any good photos of the game, but I was having too much of a good time. Ah well: Going to wrap it up with a post-game walk across the Lorain-Carnegie bridge: Hope you enjoyed!

Another fantastic set - two questions: 1. I see a lot of people wearing hoodies, parkas, etc. - was it actually chilly when you were there? 2. Is that an abandoned skyscraper that we're looking at?

As always, another amazing set - thank you for posting!

I took this photo of the 57th floor in 2000; I worked at Key from 2002-2004 and would have to zip up to the Executive area every now and then - pretty sure that encompassed 54-56 but definitely not 57. Fun tidbit, that's fellow forumer Paul in Cleveland[/member] in the background:

KeyBank has never occupied the 57th floor - it was unfinished from the day it was built until 2007 a law firm moved in; looks like their lease is ending. http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2007/12/key_towers_top_floor_finally_g.html

I don't think it's a bad idea, but there would have to be some discussion among the Admins before we would go 'live'.
