Posted May 5, 200421 yr So i actually decided to take pictures of a city that i really live in. Duck Island is a half assed neighborhood, commonly grouped in with either the Tremont Neighborhood (to the east) or the Industrial Valley Neighborhood (to the South) which is my next thread or with OHio City (to the west) I think i stayed within the hood fairly well, but if anyone wants to correct me, go ahead.... Anywho, really tiny not much here, but yeah.....pictures Hope Memorial Bridge which is the northern border of Duck Island, which isn't even an island.... Looking towards the subject of my next thread..... Underneath the Hope memorial bridge, which if memory serves correctly used to have trains or something under it, or was that the Veteran's bridge?? quirky skyline shot this is like symbolism or something vast wasteland-fair metropolis..... Looking down into the flats, the real flats not the crappy tourist attraction from the mid 90s what a quaint home. Location Location Location W. 19th Street, not much to talk about here...... Haab's German Bakery, a staple in the hood for many generations.... Grit+Skyline= well a photo duh Do you smell what the cement factory is cooking? I do, and it stinks..... Newer Rowhomes overlooking the cement factory and downtown (this is where it becomes sketchy if you are in Duck Island or Tremont) Poor sunlight, but aside from the Cleveland Mosaic Company, most of this is newer infill Of all places to find a historic marker. The thing you learn..... infiltastic

May 5, 200421 yr Hope Memorial Bridge which is the northern border of Duck Island' date=' which isn't even an island....[/quote'] Well, Blue Island in Chicagoland isn't an island, either. And I hear that Fantasy Island was filmed on a set near Hollywood.
May 6, 200421 yr Billy Madison: Well, I made the duck blue because I'd never seen a bluse duck before and I wanted to see one. Miss Lippy: Well, I think it's an excellent blue duck. Congratulations Billy, you just passed the first grade. Billy Madison: Wow, Miss Lippy, that's great. What do you think of the Mr. Blue Duck? Billy Madison: That's quacktastic.
June 27, 200717 yr Underneath the Hope memorial bridge, which if memory serves correctly used to have trains or something under it, or was that the Veteran's bridge?? The Veterans Memorial Bridge had the streetcar subway on its lower deck until 1954. The Hope Memorial Bridge was designed with provisions for a streetcar subway deck but never used.

June 27, 200717 yr Thanks for the post. I love this part of town. In my definition, Duck Island does not go east of the Abbey Ave. bridge, so I would say that all your shots from the square-headed townhouses on down are in Tremont or the South Side or Lincoln Heights, depending on what you want to call it.
June 27, 200717 yr Approximate borders of Tremont, Duck Island, and Irishtown Bend - note that Duck Island falls under the Tremont neighborhood service area: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=41.487492,-81.698799&spn=0.047707,0.092268&z=14&om=1&msid=111501388969053870983.000001136e9591e0f86d5 clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
June 27, 200717 yr map anyone that shows the borders? I get lost over there! You're not the only person! I think the HBIC made a map of the area with directions in a previous thread.
June 27, 200717 yr Thanks MayDay. I have been there many times and always thought I was in Tremont! :oops:
June 27, 200717 yr Interesting place. I was gonna' 'splain about the streetcar deck on the Hope Memorial Bridge, but KJP beat me to it.
June 27, 200717 yr dig up an old enough thread? I don't think that camera has taken a picture in over three years. Well good reason to go back?
