Don't get me wrong, it's just about d@mn time I post some photos!

 

 

It'd be nice one day to have this lovely view of One Cleveland Center blocked by a respectable high-rise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure why, but whenever I go to Akron the weather takes a turn for the overcast:

 

Ah well... the lobby of the Akron Art Museum:

 

Claes Oldenburg's "Inverted Q" in the foreground, a Sol Lewitt mural in the background:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The talented gal who sings the song in the above video has a home and restaurant here:

 

 

Okay, so overcast skies aren't limited to Akron:

 

But occasionally the sun comes out:

 

 

The mammoth Masonic auditorium - see the lighter masonry on the right?

 

That would have been the entrance to this:

 

The James A. Garfield memorial in the background, Little Italy's Holy Rosary church in the foreground:

 

 

Over to Star Trek's headquarters the entrance for the Seidman cancer hospital at University Hospitals:

 

I don't know that I'm completely enamored of the building's design but the views *from* it are quite nice:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved the frankness of the quotes on many of these photos and appreciate that UH didn't censor the captions.

 

 

 

 

 

Signing off from Severance Hall:

Very nice tour, MayDay!

Beautiful shots.

Great photos!

Yes, excellent shots

Good stuff...both Akron and University Circle have a handsome mix of old and new.

Impressive. Just the type of photos I can't get enough of.

My close friend Megan, and her husband, installed the mural at the Akron art museam.  It was nice having them in town that summer.

 

As always.... great pics, MayDay 

Awesome shots!

Thanks for these; Akron seems to be successfully reinventing itself. I just realized that it's been almost three years since I've been in Cleveland, and now I know why I'm craving a Cleveland fix. Perhaps I'll make it soon, now that the season of dreariness is mostly past.

 

The James A. Garfield memorial in the background, Little Italy's Holy Rosary church in the foreground:

 

 

I would like to see this view in the summer and then again in the fall!

Awesomeness.

 

And this view makes it seem like magma made out of aluminum foil has just burst through the Earth's crust......

 

^lol

 

Brilliant set of pictures here, Mayday! The architectural contrasts are in University Circle are particularly interesting...And now that you mention it, I seem to have the same atmospheric issues whenever I go to Akron, as well ;)
