August 15, 200618 yr Well, I'm going to goose things with another shot...a poor shot, no doubt, but let's see how it goes...can you name the building in the distance (under the street lamp), or the street I was on?
August 15, 200618 yr Our Lady of the Holy Spirit? The back is on Montgomery Rd? (It's not St. Rita's again?)
August 15, 200618 yr ^ Yes it was St. Rita's. My warped humor couldn't resist. That was really funny...especially because I didn't recognize it at all!
August 15, 200618 yr Wouldn't it be nice to have streetcars back on downtown streets? I don't have any photos -- I'll pass to someone else.
August 15, 200618 yr I've got one more here prepped for this - have to dig through some pictures tonight to prep more shots for this...and by the way, many thanks to Monte and Jake and BallHatGuy and kendall and Uncle Rando for their shot-posting, and to everyone for playing along! The only thing more fun than posting these pictures is figuring out where they are! So how about this - where was this shot taken from?
August 15, 200618 yr ^Yes, indeed...though I'm looking for something a touch more specific! It is publically accessible, just so you know it's not some trick question...
August 16, 200618 yr OK, it's time for the 10 hour hint...to be followed by the 24 hour reveal. This shot knocks PigBoy (and his sister!) out of the running for guessing on this one. This was taken at the same spot, looking upriver:
August 16, 200618 yr This shot knocks PigBoy (and his sister!) out of the running for guessing on this one. Heh... that's okay, at this point I could probably only give a very general description of where it is!
August 16, 200618 yr Is Mt. Lookout area a dumb guess?!?! There are no dumb guesses - only incorrect ones! eh... that's okay, at this point I could probably only give a very general description of where it is! Of course, with your mad mapping skilz, you could figure it out even without being able to remember the spot...
August 16, 200618 yr Looks like the area above the Eden Park lookout where you climb the hill, go over the bridge near the water tower.
August 16, 200618 yr Could this be the overlook at the end of Ingleside? Ah, no, but close enough. It's the small turnaround at the end of Salutaris, about 100 feet west of Ingleside. I think the Ingleside Condominiums building would block the view downriver, but then maybe not...but you were awfully, awfully close! Well done! Did you look at a map and reason it out, or recognize the view from having been there? I'll let someone else post the next one, or if nobody steps up, I'll put another up this afternoon...
August 16, 200618 yr I think it's somewhere further down the river away from downtown than Eden Park is. (Other than that, I have no clue where this picture was taken...)

Did you look at a map and reason it out, or recognize the view from having been there? I'll let someone else post the next one, or if nobody steps up, I'll put another up this afternoon... No, April and I once had a friend who lived at River Terrace, the condo on the west side of Ingleside, and I vaguely remember turning around at the end of the street. The prominent landmark for me was the marina in Dayton, KY that showed up in the second photo. The Ingleside is across the street from River Terrace and a little north. If there were a view from the turnaround (not overgrown), I don't think Ingleside would block it.
August 16, 200618 yr Ah, I have my Ingleside buildings messed up...I meant the tall building at the end of the street - that's River Terrace?
August 16, 200618 yr No, you're right. River Terrace is to the west, but taller -- maybe eight or ten stories. Ingleside is to the east, maybe five stories. Assuming the end of the street isn't overgrown, I don't think either would block the views you posted.
August 16, 200618 yr ^ Memorial Hall (yes CCM...it is mostly practice rroms and offices for professors...BEAUTIFUL music comes from those walls...when you walk by..people always have their windows open and you can hear the music........Darn it Rando you are making me wish i was back at school...)
August 17, 200618 yr Ok, might be too easy or maybe not. We'll see. Give the street or building or even neighborhood . . . Skram - Insert your own when you are ready.
August 17, 200618 yr Thanks BallHat, I don't have any pictures that would be worthy to post on this great site. So please feel free to continue to post pictures in my stead.
August 17, 200618 yr ^Ach, if you think we have high standards, you haven't seen nearly enough of my threads! Besides which, any new eye is always welcome! Just take pictures you think are interesting, and you can bet a bunch of us will find them interesting as well!
August 17, 200618 yr Just take pictures you think are interesting, and you can bet a bunch of us will find them interesting as well! Well said....I enjoy almost any kind of urban/interesting photos....have at it!!!
August 17, 200618 yr I also have to find somewhere to host my photos so I can link to them, I do have a couple pretty cool arials of downtown and other areas around from a few months ago, but like I said I've got to find a place to host them
August 17, 200618 yr www.imageshack.us Its free and the hotlink is active for a very long time. Great for if you're just trying to host something real quick to hotlink. It's only a 15 second process and doesn't require signing up. www.photobucket.com is also really good and from my understanding it's free. Photobucket allows you to create entire albums.
August 17, 200618 yr Photobucket is what I use....if you click on my website link (little globe on the left under my avatar) you can get an idea on how it is laid out. I have all of my photos organized in a particular way, but it is up to your own discretion. Oh and it is completely free, with the option of going pro (or whatever) and pay a fee.
August 17, 200618 yr Since I went out of town after my one and only correct answer, I am going to jump in. Here you go...
August 17, 200618 yr Since I went out of town after my one and only correct answer, I am going to jump in. Thanks for jumping in, keeping us moving! Of course, I don't know the answer, but this is a good reminder - I absolutely love the curbside beautification stuff we have around town...little spots like this add a ton to the beauty of the city...
