We were blessed with 70-degree temps and non-stop sunshine, so I took advantage of it and took some pics:

 

 

Convertible + nice weather = cool skyline shot

 

My motorcade - I let Governor Strickland borrow it for an event ;-)

 

What I see when I get sushi for lunch:

 

I kinda like the "trees" at Medical Mutual Plaza:

 

Full patio and pedestrians - told you it was nice out!

 

I miss the days of working here:

 

Two outta big three ain't bad:

 

Intricate!

 

Nobody works in downtown Cleveland any more :roll:

 

It'll be great when it's finished but ugh...

 

Yep, downtown's a ghost town during the day :roll:

 

Right on time!

 

Jaywalkers! Scofflaws!

 

Earth, wind, war memorial?

 

The future Staybridge Suites and a chisel:

 

Galleria and pedestrians - yes, even there:

 

Went to get a haircut, had to make the requisite stop on Cliff Drive:

 

Back downtown, cool brick warehouses (and not-so-cool utility poles):

 

North Point Tower:

 

Fast forward to the weekend, we head over for lunch to Cyrus - a new spot along the west bank of the Flats. On the way, a peek down the Viaduct:

 

I'm thinking the former Arhaus building (the yellow one) would make nice lofts:

 

My boyfriend was extremely patient and tolerant of my geekness:

 

Goodtime III couldn't have had better weather:

 

After lunch, we take a walk on the boardwalk by Shooters:

 

Just a few bridges around the Flats:

 

 

Stonebridge Plaza leads the parade:

 

Next up, we wanted to check out Wendy Park - highly recommended. Anyhoo, the entrance is shared with Edgewater Park, where kites abounded:

 

Once inside Wendy Park, it was quite a layout - volleyball courts, lakefront, skyline views. Too bad we haven't had more rain, the grass could use it:

 

No the Federal Building really isn't right over the hill:

 

But these views are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wendy Park - seriously, check it out:

 

The Coast Guard station - rehab the thing already!!!

 

What kind of geek goes to a park to take photos? Oh that's right, I do!

 

Windsurfing - great day for it:

 

See ya next time, Wendy Park!

 

One last peek at Stonebridge and downtown:

 

Hope you enjoyed!

Beautiful!

lovely!  I love the picture of the mall with the lake in the background and the sunrise pics of The May Co. and detroit/superior!

 

The pic in your mans sunglasses was super cool as well!

Nice!  Great day.

Gorgeous! These make me homesick for Cleveland, and I haven't even lived there! :-)

I love the first picture with Bridgeview apartments in the background. Nice view of the river and buildings while you're eating. :) Nice pics.

very nice. another one where i feel like we were walking around with you, i like that.

 

I do kinda dig the Wendy Park sign. I've stopped a couple times (sans camera  :oops:) to check on the progress of the rust behind the brushed metal lettering. Totally venue appropriate and a cool idea. Now, whether it's up to Avenue district "World Class Signage" standards, I couldn't say...

 

Fantazmo!

Wow!!!!!!!  Beautiful. 

I'd like to see more pics of Cleveland neighborhoods. Im curious to see what they look like. I've only been there once and didn't really pay attention to the urban landscape.

Great shots, MayDay!  I'll have to post some of my Tuesday night volleyball pics from Wendy Park.  That place is hoppin!

Great photos, as usual MayDay.

 

David wants Cleveland neighborhood shots? I'll see if I can supply some this weekend (though there are different 'hoods posted on different threads, such as my recent shots of the Edgewater neighborhood during the Clifton Arts Fest).

Ive been there.

one of these days i'm going to find myself in mayday's pictures..........

My sentiments exactly.  Dandy set of pics.  A question about the first pic:  just what is it he may do?  :wink: :-D

sure was a beautiful day to snap some pics.  Well done!! I need to visit Wendy Park already.

One of my favorite Cleveland photos (Jennie Jones 1984).  No one has captured the beauty of Cleveland quite like MayDay has since then.

 

 

 

*EDIT SPELLING ERROR SORRY JENNIE*

 

I love the Stonebridge buildings "on parade."

Brilliant.

 

 

Mayday,

 

where is this "Cyrus" place? Is it pricey?

 

It's where TGIFridays used to be in the Powerhouse.
