Forget that old, outdated description of Cleveland on the lake. It's now: The Roar By The Shore! Or... The Fury On Lake Erie!

 

Whatever it is, it's mighty pretty in the summer. I present these lakeside samples, from west-to-east, for your viewing pleasure.

 

Starting in the west at the outdoor patio at Lakewood's Pier W, a 15-minute walk from my home.

View of downtown at dawn from the Waterford Condos on Lakewood's Gold Coast. This is less than 10 minutes walk from my home.

Just east of Edgewater Park is Wendy Park on Whiskey Island

Wendy Park is a great place for kids to play and run until breathless, including my fiancee's son and another boy who joined in the running.

A couple of days earlier, my fiancee, her son and I, visited Pier Park/Voinovich Park downtown at sunset.

Goodnight, Sun. May you shine again on Cleveland tomorrow.

Thanks for watching!

All right, stop bragging KJP...

 

Seriously though, nice shots.  We forget out lush our lakefront really is beyond airports and factories we're used to ...

 

btw, Congrats on the upcoming nuptials.

I think that's a great action photo of what looks like a great day.  Keep it someplace special, friend!

The Coast Guard station is so clean it looks drawn into the pictures.  Congrats on the fiancee.

Those are some Chamber of commerce pictures right there.  And yes congrats!

Thanks for the wonderful photos.  And yes, congrats on your engagement Ken.

Congrats on the engagement and great photos.

Great pictures and congrats on the engagement!

Wonderful photos! I need to get to Edgewater Park on my next visit to Cle. And congrats on your engagement- looks like you had a great day with your bride to be. 

Really enjoyed the pics of the city from the perspective of Edgewater and the lake...the city looks so different and coastal - we still sometimes forget what a tremendous asset Lake Erie is - it just takes Cleveland to another level to have that coastline..

Wendy Park looks like a great place to hang out and relax -  and seems like there's so much potential to develop  those parks and beach areas along the lake.  Happy to see one of the all-time urban.ohio greats (KJP) with a new fiancee!  I thought I was seeing a little less published by KJP recentl¥ - now I know why...(just kidding, you're still on top of your game..)  Congrats...

Beautiful! The pictures and the new family. Congrats!

Great set! Especially for the unlucky ones who are working inside way too much. That guy with the expensive tennis shoes needs to take those things off in the sand...CLE people, come on and learn some beach etiquette lol.

 

p.s. KJP props to you for getting your lady to match her top with your Browns logo!
