I'm very impressed with their mass transportation system, especially with the street cars. I mean no city in Ohio (currently and I say currently because Cincy should have some soon) has street cars. I noticed that one of the stations is underground; is that apart of a light rail system?

Nice Shot of Cedric by the way. Which church is your first shot of?

Great Photos!! I remember the when I visited Toronto when I was 10 or so and how much I loved it. It really is an international city in line with cities like Chicago, San Francisco. There is an amazing amount of diversity and pedestrian life.

Is there still jazz being played here regularly?

HA!! Nevermind I got it

Is there a picture of the bike trail along the Cuyahoga River? And where is it. Last I heard they had progressed to Harvard Blvd. I wanted to type this message underneath the picture. How do you do that?

Wow the pictures of the railroad tracks looks like a painting.

Here are some pictures I took on my trip to Youngstown with Ink. I was really impressed with Warren's downtown. Almost all of the historical buildings were intact although many of them were unoccupied. Most of the buildings which were not historical made an attempt to fit in with the rest of the buildings. And then there was the courthouse. Probably one of the most impressive ones in the state. Hope you enjoy! :mrgreen: Warren's ugliest. Ok now it gets better. I wish this old clocks would still work. It was about 10 a.m. at this point. Wow a bridal store downtown. You don't see that very often. Could someone tell me the name of this feature? Here are the some of the administrative buildings from across the street from the courthouse. I think Warren did a decent job at making these buildings look historical and fit in with the other historical buildings. Here are some other historical buildings including Ink's favorite. Another Carnegie This tidbit of history was really cool. Here are some streetscaping pictures: Pictures from the green square:

I was thinking basically the same thing.

I especially hate to see these apartment complexes go. They are real gems. Although I'm not sure they would be able to be salvaged.

Basically between West 65th and a couple blocks east of that on Lorain and a couple blocks to the North along West 65th. Also the row houses were located on around east 58th street I believe.

These are some pictures I took of the less know part of Detroit Shoreway last summer. The area is around W65th and Lorain. I originally posted this thread in the summer but am redoing it since I lost some of the photos. Saint Coleman. Another gorgeous church in Cleveland: Corner of 65th and Lorain (Cleveland's Antique District). Although the photos do not show there are actually at least 10 antique stores within 5 blocks of 65th and Lorain. Some of the stores are in very good shape and others are run down. I wish more people knew about this great Cleveland asset. Other Pictures from the corner of 65th and Lorain: Ok I have been searching for Eco Village for a long time. Its has been like an El Dorado to me. The first time I came I found these row houses but could not find any more. I thought I must have missed something. After seeing this picture I think I figured out the puzzle. The proposed buildings never were built. Please if someone has better info. about this project let me know. I did really like the Rapid station.

Part 2… Columbia Tusculum Mt. Washington Mariemont Oakley University of Cincinnati Well in my honest opinion I had trouble liking the DAAP building. There was just too much white, I felt like I was in a hospital. This guy was really scary!! Ault Park Good night!

Here are some photos ink and I took during a trip to Cincinnati. We covered some of the north side of Cincinnati by driving down Hamilton Avenue visiting the neighborhoods of College Hill and Northside/Cumminsville. Then we went on to Clifton, Clifton Heights and Corryville. After this we traveled through downtown and took the Columbia Parkway to Columbia Tusculum, then out Beachmont to Mount Washington and back on Columbia Parkway to Mariemont. After Mariemont we drove back on Madison through the neighborhoods of Madisonville, Oakley, O'briansville, Walnut Hills, and finally to University of Cincinnati. Our last little trip on this immense journey in the great city-state of Cincinnati (jk) took us to Hyde Park, Mount Lookout and finally Ault Park, a place I would love to have a picnic in the summer. College Hill These are some great examples of English Tutors Finally a change in the housing type. Don't get me wrong I love English Tutor Housings but I do have a threshold. Here's the Twin Towers Monestary And now were going to take will take a trip to the Appalachian Mountains. No diss, I thought it was really cool to be in an urban neighborhood but also be in a heavily wooded area. And Now to Northside This neighborhood really impressed; there was just historic after historic building. YEA! Street Car schedule reading lamp...now here's something you don't find very often Now these were cool! Here's is Ink favorite type of Library (Carnegie) making him very hot and bothered Cincinnati Bell (this was a cool building) Now we enter the realm of Gritty Northside

I think another very important aspect of Ohio city is the gorgeous housing that is hidden within the neighborhood. Many of these houses will just blow you away from there bright colors and intricate detail work. Next time if you visit Ohio city try driving down Franklin Blvd. or Bridge Avenue.

I think Nataniel was referring to me who said that. I've lived in Lakewood all my life and heard this said many times. I could be wrong, I don't have any facts to back it up. But some other things that adds to Lakewood is that Lakewood is a city of homes (probably over 90 residential) and around 80 percent of its residential units or doubles are apartments.

This is the neighborhood of West Boulevard. It encompasses the neighborhood around West Boulevard. This is in my opinion one of the nicest family neighborhoods in Cleveland. The housing stock is still in very good shape, lots of families, large houses and decent size yards. I also like the diversity in this neighborhood. There is a substantial Arabic, African American, populations. My favorite part of this neighborhood is the mini brick street neighborhood. Unfortunately this was cut up by I-90. Commercial Along Lorain Avenue You'll notice the sigh says Lorain Station but this is only a block down the road from West Boulevard and Lorain and I still believe is technically apart of the West Boulevard neighborhood There place looks kinda cool. One of Cleveland's many dirt cheap dinners This is at the corner of West Boulevard and Lorain. There are three CVS's along West Boulevard! Here is some of the homes lines West Boulevard. They are much larger than the homes in the rest of the neighborhood which I'll show after these photos. It kinda of reminds me of the homes along Franklin Avenue and its relation to the homes surrounding it. Here are some photos of my favorite part of the neighborhood. It contains several bricks streets in a row. This area of brick streets apparently used to be quite substantial before I-90 cut right through. I noticed in my travels that there are a serious of these brick streets North of the highway also. Here are some great shots of Saint Ignatius of Antioch (not to be confused with the high school) and the neighborhood
