The only reason I think it may survive--and I hope that it does--is that it is the only Macy's on the east side of Greater Cleveland.

That downtown seems forgotten about. Those theaters and the Security Bank tower were something.

Portsmouth looks good. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know that the Norfolk Naval Shipyard was in Portsmouth.

Wow. That is the most surface parking I have ever seen in a downtown.

Yes, like the entire city of Carmel, Crocker is car-oriented--a simulacrum of urban life.

Carmel, despite being immediately adjacent to Indianapolis, does not have public transportation, so its emphasis on non-auto travel is questionable.

I wasn't aware of Jobber's Canyon until now. What a loss. Wow.

The Regional Connector has opened in downtown L.A.: https://www.masstransitmag.com/rail/infrastructure/article/53063872/la-metro-celebrates-opening-of-regional-connector?utm_source=MASS+NewsViews+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS230620039&o_eid=9803J8073534C0N&rdx.ident[pull]=omeda|9803J8073534C0N

I have never been to Baton Rouge. From these pictures, it looks surprisingly plain.

I am amazed at how poorly Cleveland Heights is served by RTA. The overhaul of the system from several months ago left us in even worse shape, transit-wise. It is now impossible to get to University Circle from the north side of Cleveland Heights without making a transfer. On the other hand, there is direct service to University Circle from Canton and other distant places. RTA's treatment of Cleveland Heights is inexcusable.

According to the 4/15 edition of CH city news, parking lot 5, behind the Cedar Lee, will close at the beginning of May to accommodate the start of construction on CLM.

I am surprised by how good Evansville looks. It's sad about the office building.

The Artisan is so gorgeous. Even though its design in some ways remains true to the architectural craziness of the patchwork era, it is so well proportioned and seems to have been thought out as a whole. It appears sleek and modern despite all its zigs and zags and flourishes. I hope they don't allow a mix and match of window coverings, which has been detrimental to the Midtown.

Wow. Very sad.

Ohio's only hope is for its metropolitan regions to work together to wrest control from the villainous state legislature.
