Posted July 2, 200618 yr I've been saving up some photos from the past month or so and have now decided to put the highlights together in a sequential series of posts on this single thread... enjoy! We'll start at the beginning...the Subway Tour! (pan right for this last one!) Next up: Parade the Circle!
July 2, 200618 yr Parade the Circle was a huge hit again this year! CIM construction in background: Peep the CIM crane: The Western Reserve Historical Society: Loads of people! CMA construction through the gardens: Heading over towards little Italy, via Cornell & Euclid Avenue: A block of houses on E. 115th that miraculously avoided demo as UH expanded: Looking up towards Murray Hill and the Heights on Cornell: Up on Murray Hill @ Cornell: Sadly, vacant...any takers? Ditto this one! Stay tuned for more action from Cleveland!
July 2, 200618 yr A few more from random days... The recently rehabbed Circle East building is owned by University Circle Incorporated and is conveniently located adjacent to the CWRU campus and just down the hill from Little Italy on the corner of Euclid and Ford/Mayfield. This intersection will soon be the site of major new developments in housing and retail, as well as the proposed new home of MOCA Cleveland! The first Meet me on the Mall (www.parkworks.org) Movie Under the Stars was in early June. It was a hit in my book, with about 60 people attending. There are more to come on Malls B & C Thursdays and Fridays throughout the summer! Get there early for some badminton and croquet...who knew you could do this any day of the week? Seriously, you can borrow the games at the Convention Center and take them onto the Mall! Dusk: Families! Batman! Stay tuned for a booze cruise and more!

July 3, 200618 yr Does Cleveland have an undergound subway? As opposed to an above-ground subway? :-D I know, I know... NYC calls even the elevated portions of their rail transit system the subway, just as Chicago calls the subway portions of their system the El (as in ELevated railway -- the subway portions downtown were added 40+ years after the elevated loop was built). We had one, but the only section that got built and used was the lower deck of the Detroit-Superior bridge. It has subway stations at both ends of the bridge. It can be said that the Rapid system has a couple of "subway" segments -- the entrance into Hopkins International Airport and the portion through Tower City Center. BTW, MGD, really nice pics! :clap: "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
July 3, 200618 yr Thanks! I enjoyed taking them! Still working on the next segment...too much going on these days, though!
July 6, 200618 yr Spectacular! Made me homesick enough to buy an airline ticket for a weekend trip home. E.115 is one of my favorite streets...happy to see it photographed before UH can bulldoze it. And the movie on the mall is brilliant- that long lawn is perfect for a big screen. 60 people is probably the biggest crowd there since the 2004 Kerry Rally... But I bet the strong winds that bent those urn sculptures made badminton a challenge!
July 15, 200618 yr Nice ones, MGD! Especially glad to see Meet Me on the Mall getting some coverage. Straphanger, enjoy your visit home.

Is there anything concrete? Are the Hessler Road people still fighting or are they now satisfied? ... GREAT PHOTOS by the by.

I guess somebody finally called UH's bluff on the bulldozing under UH's guise of "needed land for research growth" when all they're really doing is tearing down priceless, needed residential property (including a bunch of classic Cleveland Tudor apt buildings) for more UH parking garages. It really stinks and is just another area where UCI revealed its spinelessness -- they could have halted this, but ask "how high" every time UH yells: "jump!" Let's hope this mindless destruction ceases.
