Did you end up going, MayDay[/member]? If so, thoughts on the talk? I thought it was interesting, but had hoped for more discussion of lesser known buildings in Cleveland.

 

A few people asked questions about housing in the city, and I got the thought that it would be cool to have a talk about the various residential architecture styles in Cleveland. It would look at the different styles of housing, what time period they came about, and why certain neighborhoods look the way that they do. I haven't really seen any comprehensive overview of that before.

Yep, I was there with my husband; pretty sure I was the only guy wearing a suit and tie (just got out of work). I thought he did a pretty good job - it would have been cool to hear more "bet you didn't know" like he said about Key Tower, but it sounds like they're considering future events.

Well, there were at least two guys there wearing suits and ties, because I was the other one.

 

Never realized that Blossom Music Center was the Gateway Arch tilted to the side.

I thought that sounded like a cool fact too, and decided to look at it further last night...unfortunately it's not really the case. The Blossom "arch" is pretty much at a right angle, so thus very different from the Gateway Arch.

 

 

Wow, I'm totally being "that guy" right now... Sorry

 

 

Being "that guy or gal" is part of the membership requirements for this forum, haha.
