September 19, 20195 yr Hi everybody! The wife and I are finally all moved into the Terminal Tower Apartments, and I figured this would be a good place to share some photos (mostly) of some views from the higher floors. Enjoy!

September 19, 20195 yr Cleveland really is a gem! I also have view envy since we are stuck on the 4th floor facing the back of the Renaissance Hotel ?. The people who eventually get to live on the 14th floor will absolutely have the best view in the city. I also really wish those parking lots would go away sooner rather than later as it diminishes the grandeur of downtown in the worst way.
September 20, 20195 yr A young adult I volunteer with took me on a tour of the CSU Film school yesterday, I never realized what amazing views the Ideacenter had. Being up there really highlights the density we don't necessarily see from the street-minus the northern facing parking lots ? What an amazing learning space!! Kind of hard to apture what I was going for, but here's all the roofs of the theaters in Playhouse Square. Pretty cool to see the other side, and just how hulking these spaces are... Edited September 20, 20195 yr by GISguy
September 20, 20195 yr @Boaty McBoatface Which of those picture (if any) are from your unit. I was under the impression the apartments were on the Prospect side. And is a reason why my wife and I would not consider living there.
September 22, 20195 yr Snapped a good unconventional view of downtown that has a good view of the lumen, beacon and TT ? Also, I started an Instagram if anyone is interested in following it. It is @ClevelandBuilt
September 22, 20195 yr Hey @musky! None of those are views from our unit. We actually face the back of the Renaissance Hotel as well as the courthouse. Sort of a corner/SW view. The photos I took were from the unfinished 14th floor! Every photo was from an unfinished unit though, so I’m sure there will be some of those views from certain units if one is willing to pay the premium haha.
September 24, 20195 yr Cool. That's good to know. I was disappointed when I saw construction only going what I presumed was only on the Prospect side. Perhaps we will reconsider.
September 24, 20195 yr I agree. The view from NCH is the best view we have, definitely a big city feel. That's why it's so important that we make sure there are enough public spaces included in whatever development goes on the lakefront property. If we can ever get the land bridge together, imagine walking from the harbor up through the mall with the city in the background, very nice.

And expanded hours plus accessible outdoor displays & events by the Rock Hall and Science Center would make NCH a much much more lively place.

Wade Lagoon is an exceptionally beautiful and serene place in the midst of the city; and this photo, taken from a height too high, makes it look cramped and walled-in.

October 3, 20195 yr This was my view in Old Brooklyn the other morning - Ben Franklin Community Garden - it's massive and a wonderful place! Hard to believe the garden only has 10ish days left ? (my peppers disagree with this deadline...) Edited October 3, 20195 yr by GISguy

It's just the end of the season on behalf of the Garden Committee and CDC, it helps give enough time to mow everything down, seed, and prepare for the winter. Fun fact, up until a few years ago (maybe more than a 'few'), very little was done to manage the nutrients in the garden - now cover crops are planted and techniques for overwintering and whatnot have changed (they've also added raised beds for fall/spring planting - mostly garlic for me which helps extend the season a bit). If you haven't been this year, last day is this Saturday! hah Edit1- didn't mean to make it sound like it was going away forever! After re-reading my comment I can see how it may have come off that way hah Edit2- I put together a map of the garden last year, it kind of gives scale to the place: https://veganbrisket.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=76c95291276c4e17a2cc7b65bb1edc77 Edited October 7, 20195 yr by GISguy

November 13, 20195 yr Went to the Browns/Bills game this weekend, had a great time at the stadium and Muni lots before! Some people were jerks during and after the game, but 99.7% of people we're amazing ambassadors to my adopted city of Cle. Edited November 13, 20195 yr by GISguy

November 26, 20195 yr In the vein of the "ten year challenge" thing that's going around the interwebs, I dug up a few pics from back in November 2009. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
December 19, 20195 yr Not the sharpest, but here are a couple I took yesterday from Metro on a dreary day. The real narrow one is from the 7th floor (and I tried, and think I got, both the tower cranes from Church and State (far left??) and Lumen). The one with the houses in the foreground is from the 11th floor.
December 20, 20195 yr Author Lovely evening in Downtown tonight. Even though Tower City is being cleared out of retailers, it's still a very pretty place at this time of year.

The federal courthouse is definitely an underappreciated building imo, especially from an angle like this, great eye!
December 20, 20195 yr I wonder if the Federal courthouse would look better at night with some kind of exterior lighting?
December 20, 20195 yr Turning Point looks great next to the Gehry-designed Lewis Building. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

Would love to see those photos. ?♂️ Others on here (@MayDay?) can correct me if I’m misremembering, but the Stokes building DOES have some great exterior lighting that was utilized for a short time after its construction. However, the GSA decided to stop illuminating the building because of either A) Cost savings, or B) Pressure from groups trying to minimize bird strikes. I’m fuzzy on the whole story. But yes, it’s a beautiful and under appreciated building that deserves to be lit up once again. Edited December 21, 20195 yr by brtshrcegr
December 29, 20195 yr Hung out around the industrial valley today. Here's a handful of photos from my walk. It was a tad hazy so not great for city shots, but I'll be back soon enough ? Edited November 30, 20204 yr by GISguy
January 17, 20205 yr Author I can often see this type of downtown sunset/dark clouds to the east scene out of my window, but it's five miles away and by the time I could get near downtown, the sun would have set. So I appreciate this photo very much...... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 4, 20205 yr Just gotta say the past few days' sunsets have been on point (and great for biking...)! Now it seems we're back to grey lol Edited November 30, 20204 yr by GISguy
February 9, 20205 yr I must say, sometimes it feels too hip for a hipster but Coffee Coffee Coffee/Sixth City Cycles is a great spot to sit and read/chill out ($3 bottomless coffee is nice too!). If you're in Old Brooklyn, it's definitely worth a stop.
February 21, 20205 yr I woke up this morning and there was a bright object in the sky, rarely seen in Cleveland this time of the year. So i decided to go burn up $100 bills in a small aircraft. Thought you might all enjoy my view of Cleveland on approach to Burke.
February 22, 20205 yr ^Nice, been contemplating doing the same in the near future. For now - here's a pic from terra firma (the Innerbelt, so still in motion): clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 23, 20205 yr In Cleburger and May Day's pictures it is fantastic to see what an impact both The Lumen and The Beacon have on the skyline from several angles.
February 24, 20205 yr Was just going through my google memories and here's a shot I took in 2018. I wish I had my good camera at the time!
