As a part of the http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,25700.msg553078.html - Cleveland neighborhood map (update coming out this week!), I've been visiting different parts of the city to verify streets exist and to learn about the neighborhoods. :) 

 

Here's photos from my journey last week throughout the East side, primarily in Hough and Glenville. (and here's the route that I had taken): http://utrack.crempa.net/report/saved_report.php?ident=f9a2aa43dbcb0fbe80e53c9c120b7373&lang=en

 

 

one of the first photos I had taken that morning was one my most memorable ones that I've seen this summer.

 

corner of 90th and Ann ct:

 

 

let's continue north to where my mom and many other Polish families grew up:

 

the playground at the new sowinski School on Kosciuszko Ave (cleveland pub. elementary school): st. casimir's church is just stone's throw away from here. . 

 

New Jerusalem Baptist Church, future site of (on kosciuskzo ave, west of sowinski school and st. casimir's):

 

 

now, east of MLK and east blvds, a few blocks with some of the nicest houses in the city of Cleveland ! (kudos to other UO's who have promoted this area in earlier topics)

 

corner of parkhill and thorn:

 

97th and thorn (look at those roofs!):

 

This alley doesn't exist anymore :/

As you go north of pierpont, the housing stock drops drastically. :(

Looking to buy a house ?  :wave:

 

stucco,  :clap: ( e 97

 

yes, this is in Cleveland! (south blvd and e 98)

 

this has good potential: (e98)

 

I love these houses...it's E.99th !

Alas, just 5 houses from east 99th: on olivet :(

 

As you go east of 99th, the housing stock changes, with more doubles/duplexes (2 family homes) [these duplexes were mainly between 99th and 105), with few board ups and empty lots, especially after 105th.

 

There's a few exceptions, including this one on drexel. A few of the houses in this neighborhood, including this one, have bars on its 1st floor windows.

I Hope to post part 2 [going south to wade park ave] in the next few days.

 

"There's a few exceptions, including this one on drexel. A few of the houses in this neighborhood, including this one, have bars on its 1st floor windows."

 

Im really surprised they dont all have them.  In DC it is just standard. 

 

That wonderful house with the for sale sign, I saw a while back on Howard Hanna's site.  It really is nice and they did a great job of restoring it.  Too bad they wont get much for it. 

 

 

May I suggest that you take pictures at times of the day when the lighting is better? I would love to see these houses but all I can see are silhouettes in many of the pictures. I'd hate to see you waste a trip into tough neighborhoods! :)

Some incredible stock which simply cannot be allowed to vanish to be replaced with spit and paste.

 

Totally agree with ^ and ^^.

Yes, if you're gonna venture into some of the tougher neighborhoods, make sure you can get something more viewable.

 

I dig the house with the columns, I believe thats on South Blvd and a couple ( ♂♂ ) renovated it some years back. Unless this is the owners after them.

It is on South Blvd.

 

Thanks for the Feedback about the picture quality. I noticed that the poorer pictures which had silhouettes [97th and thorn; this has good potential] were all shot towards the east [my back facing the west] during the sunrise (between 7-9am). The photos that were shot facing west (with the sun to my back) [(south blvd and e 98, stucco] came out much better.

 

I'll try to edit them and see if I can make an improvement (none of the above photos had any processing on them and were shot using the camera on a droid phone).

Some nice shots. I wish there were more photo threads of Glenville!

the alley that has reverted back to nature is pretty cool!
