No, I'm not going anywhere any time soon and have no plans to leave but for sanity's sake, getting out and taking photos when I can ? Glad to have the nearby legs of the Towpath in easy walking distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought we were losing you for a minute!  Don't do that!

This is some great stuff @MayDay

Please don't quote large numbers of pictures.

Look how unpolluted the air looks. These pictures are fantastic.

I thought this last weekend. Headed to the east side for the first time in a month and I could see downtown incredibly clearly from Cedar Rd in the heights area.

I have noticed many days, even before all of this started, where you can see downtown pretty clearly down Cedar from around Taylor Rd. and you can even see Key Tower pretty clearly from just last Legacy Village.

Yeah, you always could see Key from Cedar - I just had the thought last weekend as I drove that it was noticably clearer than usual. Not sure whether that's actually due to less pollution or if it was just a nice spring day.

Thanks for these.  I always love seeing good pictures of Key Tower.  It's sleek, muscular and very modern looking even though it is 30 plus years old now. 

Terminal Tower looks so damn clean, it's like a Vegas hotel-version of itself now.

I like the “UrbanOhio.com” on the Jack Casino garage video billboard??

These are great @MayDay

 

where do you go to best access this part of the towpath?

Wish I could say the same about me but I'm pushing 48, my gym is closed and I haven't been to my hairstylist in so long I'm *this* close to having my alterna-goth-emo bangs from 1988! ?

 

@mrclifton88 for the first four photos, that's the stretch that runs along the eastern side of Tremont - not the most traditionally scenic but also a little less crowded and the 490 skyline view from the mounds is pretty cool. I typically hop on at the top of the hill at West 11th and Clark (see below where the arrow points to Stage 3:2018, short walk from West 14th and Clark; if you're driving there's a parking area accessible on the north side of Clark at the bottom of the hill before you reach Quigley.

 

For the rest of the photos, multiple access points along Scranton Road between Carter and University and also by Sokolowski's on Abbey between West 11th and West 14th, parking adjacent/under the Innerbelt bridge at Abbey.

Sweet. Do it. I'm having flashbacks to that epic photo of @musky 

Second verse, same as the first - but tack on an extra couple of miles ?

 

Yeah the entry point of this stretch of the Towpath features views of the Industrial Valley and the impound lot... guessing the tourist brochures won't be focusing here.

 

 

Winding paths going by the chemical processing plant:

 

Nope, not landfill but mounds -recommend the furthest east for the better skyline pic (see upthread):

 

Tremont has always been a bit unorthodox ... oh wait ?

 

Let's try and lift our spirits.

 

View just steps away from the former Valleyview.

 

Okay folks, time to take down the holiday decorations!

 

'AVEn't got a clue.

 

Lots of old school southsiders (and some not so old school) give this the "who'da thunk?"

 

Terminal goals.

 

Like a bridge over ... well, Literary (the Towpath will eventually include a bridge from the dirt mound to the paved area in the foreground)

 

We've got it down Pat... Pat's in the Flats.

 

Getting to the good parts.

 

Choo choo!!!

 

Big three.

 

Big pic ?

Just wow. Thanks @MayDay , you have a gift.

? I love this shot!
