Haha. I'm always stuck with red eyes in photos. Unless it's a professional photograph, such as school pictures, I will 99% of the time have red eyes. Not sure what it is that causes it to happen.

Well I didn't mean to rub it in too much, but I am a very happy OSU alum. ;)

Everyone seems to be posting young photos of themselves, but I don't have any online, save for a few from when I traveled to France 8 years ago (age 17). I'll post one and it's from the top of the Eiffel Tower: Otherwise, here's a recent photo taken last month while getting drunk on Appletinis in Cincy: :D

Go Bucks! :clap:

It certainly was a beautiful weekend across the Great Lakes. We had those blue skies here in Chicago as well, though the leaves still aren't very colorful here in the city. The majority of trees are still green. Thanks for the great pics! Cleveland & Peninsula both looked great. :)

These are fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing. :)

Nice thread! I enjoyed it. :) But damn some of the girls in this photo look mighty pissed off at you, haha!

Rob, is there anything near the Skokie terminal on the Yellow line, such as an area with shops & restaurants? I've been tempted to hop on the Yellow Line just to see what it's like, but at the same time I'd like for there to be something at the end of the line for me to enjoy (other than the Starbucks in the new Skokie station). I've been on the purple line as far norh as the Central stop, but never to the very end at Linden. I think it just ends in a neighborhood, doesn't? I love the purple line express. It's nice to just sit back & enjoy the ride for once. Usually when I'm using the CTA I end up pissed off with all of the delays I experience (good 'ol brown line reconstruction).

I wish this had been going on when I was in Cincy two weekends ago I absolutely love going on urban home tours like this. I did one in downtown Galveston's historic district a couple years ago and had such a great time. Thanks for the pics!

And those other county seats are much better off than Paulding. I grew up in this area (Williams county) and Paulding county in general seemed rather forgetable compared to other locations nearby. So it's no surprise (at least to me) that the actual town of Paulding isn't fairing particularly well.

When I was in NY in July, I made sure I visited here for a slice of pizza. I also made sure I folded my slice like a true New Yorker. :)

Sweet photos! I'll be in Cincy in a couple weeks & I can't wait!

Sweet! My favorite areas of Columbus! :) (especially the Short North and German Village)

As someone who is generally obsessed with subways, and light rails, and any type of rail transit, I've gotta say thanks for all these great pics. Europe's rail system is freakin awesome! :)

All three photo threads have been great! I absolutely love that city. The fairly dense, modern, mixed-use architecture plentiful throughout Portland is something I really really like about the city. Thanks for all of the great photos! :)

Cincinnati rocks and so do these photos. Can't wait until baseball season starts. I love spending an afternoon in downtown Cincy watching the Reds win. (or lose? haha)

That's a cute neighborhood.

That's a pretty cool loft for NYC. To have that kind of space right in Manhattan and also have your own roof access would be sweet! The size looks perfect to me. Not too big, not too small. But considering my pathetic pay, the price certainy sucks, lol. ;)

Ah, Royal Oak. Quite possibly my favorite of the Detroit suburbs. Enjoyed a good lunch and yummy cookie from Prontos! right in the downtown area a few summers ago. I'd probaby be quite interested in living there if by some chance I ever were to move to the Detroit area.

Great photos! I love Columbus. :)

It's always nice to see photos of my favorite city in the whole country. Thanks for posting these. :)

Are you trippin? Bloomie's rocks! :D

Thanks for the photos! If I'd been there, I think I'd have probably had a difficult time keeping my mouth shut when the DeWine people came by. -OhioGuy (who just this week sent emails to his family in Ohio showcasing why they should vote for Sherrod Brown) :D

I'm new to posting on this forum, however I've been a lurker for the past year or two. For those of you who frequent SSP you might know me as I post there pretty frequently. I've never posted any photo threads before, so this is a first for me. I'm not a professional, so hopefully these are decent for all of you out there. I flew home to Northwest Ohio from Houston last August. While home, I made plans to drive down to Columbus to visit with a couple of friends I made while going to OSU. I wanted to hang with them at the Gallery Hop and go out clubbing, as well as check out the campus and take a closer look at the buildings that have been finished in the 14 months since I graduated (now 24 months). I must say it was great being back on campus and walking around. I definitely miss it very much. I brought along my digital camera and took 80+ photos. I had planned on going down to German Village the next day, but after filling up with $37 of gas after leaving my friend's house on the north side, I decided against driving all the way down there and using up more gas. So the only photos I have from this trip are from my walk around the OSU campus. I got lucky with the weather. It was suppose to be mostly sunny and about 85F & humid, however the forecast was blown and it ended up mostly cloudy during the afternoon with heavy rain just barely missing to the south. But all of that cloud cover helped to keep temperatures extremely comfortable. I felt like I was in heaven after the oppresive heat I'd been living with day in and day out in Houston the entire summer (and what I'm dealing with now). Ok, so enough talk. Here's the photos: Taylor Tower: the dorm I lived in for 2 years on north campus Curl Drive with Taylor Tower on the right, Jones Graduate Tower on the left, and Drackett Tower further down Houck House (across from Taylor Tower) Walkway in between the north campus dorms North Campus dining commons (where they served mostly bad food) Fisher College of Business on the right with the new Physics building straight ahead Neilwood Gables on the left, new Physics building straight ahead Fisher College of Business New Knowlton School of Architecture building... I'm not crazy about it's design, but the building it replaced was a total dive... I had a class in it my freshman year New Physics building again Courtyard on the east side of the Physics building (this land during my first 3 years at OSU was run down, fenced off land... looks good now) :) A new building, but I can't remember what it's replacing (just south of the Physics building) A view down 19th Avenue Looking south down an alley from 19th Avenue toward the Math Tower Corner of 19th Avenue where it curves around and becomes Neil Avenue Walkway over Neil Avenue connecting Caldwell Laboratory and Dreese Laboratory A view to the north toward the Fisher College of Business Knowlton School of Architecture main entrance Tuttle Parking Garage on the right with some retail stores on the first level Central Classrooms building with the McCracken Power Plant smoke stacks in the background View down Millikin Avenue with the Power Plant on the right The numbers just outside of Central Classrooms Looking down a walkway toward Oxley's by the Numbers and Ohio Stadium Postal Trucks lined up along Neil Avenue (Journalism Building is ahead on the left) University Hall The old Larkins Hall (student rec center) being torn down to build the newer facility (half of it is already finished ... the glass structure just beyond the demolition zone) South end of Ohio Stadium with the scoreboard and Morrill Tower in the background The Oval Blurry view looking east along the north side of the Oval View eastward along the north side of the Oval The Main Library Derby Hall, the building I spent the majority of my final two years in (atmospheric science... among other things in this building) Orton Hall Faculty Club (on the south side of the Oval) A view down one of the hilly walkways across Mirror Lake Hollow Kuhn Honors House Mirror Lake, my favorite spot on campus (so I have quite a few photos from here) Browning Amphitheater... a wedding was happening Beautifully landscaped walkway leading up from Mirror Lake toward the Main Library I didn't want to get too close and possibly disturb the wedding, so this was as close as my zoom could get (and without a tripod, it ended up blurry) Beautiful day for a wedding Mirror Lake Looking over the bike racks toward the Dental building (low one) and the James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Center (tall one) Intersection of Neil Avenue and 11th Avenue on South Campus OSU's Younkin Success Center on Neil Avenue with retail on the ground floor A view southward down Neil Avenue toward Victorian Village about a couple miles away I took this picture for all of the grit fans out there even though I don't like grit. This is a view down an ally on the far southern edge of campus. University owned buildings on the south edge of campus Jesse Owens Rec Center South South Campus dorm Looking east down 11th Avenue with a row of south campus high rise dorms lining the street Walkways between south campus dorms Drinko Hall, home of the Moritz College of Law University Gateway Project nearing completion along High Street on South Campus East campus housing The Gateway Project looks great to me. I like the architecture style they went with. Reminds me of typical architecture for Seattle or Portland which I love. Wish this had been around when I was a student College of Law again South Campus dorms Newly remodeled Page Hall I had a psychology course in Page Hall my sophomore year and it was a horrible building. I remember the floors actually being so uneven that you could feel the slope as you walked through it. It looks great now! :) Hughes Hall, where you can walk by in the fall and spring and hear the sounds of many instruments coming out the open windows (and where I took a vocal singing course that I very much enjoyed…. too bad I lost my voice the week of finals, LOL) View looking west down 17th Avenue. The taller brick building on the right is Lord Hall, probably the building on campus that is in most need of major repair/face lift. Side view of Derby Hall (home to my major) Walkway between a cluster of science buildings between 18th and 19th Avenues. A map of campus I started off my tour at my old dorm, Taylor Tower, and I finished it here. One final photo taken behind Taylor Tower along Lane Avenue, looking west toward the new bridge over the Olentangy River
