August 6, 200717 yr Nice shots, the market always amazes me. I'll be in Cleveland next week; I'll be at the Holiday Inn Express on Euclid, so hopefully I'll be able to stumble on some of these places.
August 6, 200717 yr Close Quarters? Good Gawd, you started that pub crawl way out in Avon Lake? since when is avon lake way out? now if you would have said way white... :wink: but i guess so if to you a beer in those two pubs = a pub crawl.
August 6, 200717 yr Yeah, great photos. I loved the pics from Ohio City. Very cool. I will truly miss the Breuer building. I really think it's a fantastic piece of architecture. :(
August 6, 200717 yr That's just hideous. Other than that, great shots! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
August 6, 200717 yr ^ lol! well i'd take fries & schule over that -- but its true all these new 'mod' style condo apts do look alike dont they?
August 6, 200717 yr God, that Kroger Lofts thing is even worse. It's if somebody took a box from Jo-Ann Fabrics, placed a faux-brick facade (insert funny thing under the "c") and called it TRENDY! Christ. They could've atleast plopped on a Checks Cashed sign and Curves and be done with it.

August 7, 200717 yr The West Side Market building makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... Recently went to a couple of Dodger games and WOW does the Jake (and GAB) look different from Dodger Stadium. Not sure if I prefer the new look or the old look... or maybe both. I'll have to take some Dodger Stadium photos the next time I go to a game.
August 7, 200717 yr Close Quarters? Good Gawd, you started that pub crawl way out in Avon Lake? since when is avon lake way out? now if you would have said way white... :wink: but i guess so if to you a beer in those two pubs = a pub crawl. Ah, I thought that the other taverns pictured were stop off points. And yes, Avon Lake is way the hell out there! I'm from there. I know!
August 8, 200717 yr ^ thats a very parochial view of suburbia. in much of urban america as far as either distance or time its nothing. :laugh: people in la jolla certainly dont say that about san diego or in evanston about chicago, etc. The West Side Market building makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

I'll have to take some Dodger Stadium photos the next time I go to a game. it might be the cinci's riverfront era for ohio's dodger stadium. thats as close as i can think of to it in ohio and thats not very close either. thank goodness. please do get some pics of it and of la.
August 8, 200717 yr I'm not quite sure what you're getting at- that commute times and distances in Cleveland are relatively short compared to other metros, or that any given place can be taken as a center unto itself, and therefore by definition not "way out"? Either way, "way out there", I would have thought self explanatory, is in relation to commute times and distances within metro Cleveland to the generally agreed upon regional center of Downtown, so Chicago and San Diego are fairly irrelevent.
August 8, 200717 yr just what i said. that burb is not that far from the city distance-wise by any stretch of any way you want to define suburbia in any urban setting across the usa. i gave you very relevelant comparisons to clkarify that. yet you said al is way out when in fact its not at all. in fact its even closer to cle if you just want to talk time instead of distance. the region has very little road traffic vs other urbanized regions. you exaggerate "way outness" to fit your own views of al vs cle, but outside of the region....its nothing.
August 8, 200717 yr Well, I half agree with you. "Way out" is relative. Relative to a super commuter pulling 45+ minutes regularly it isn't. Compared to a downtown resident who walks to work and hardly ever has to go more than a couple of miles to get anything, Avon Lake is indeed "way out".
August 8, 200717 yr ^ there you go. thats why i mentioned the comparisons to other 'burb-ly places. otoh if everything is downtown for you....then in that sense you are the winner. ie., my spouse works one block from our place. i consider that lack of commute makes up for the rent we pay in both time and money. so you know what i mean!
August 8, 200717 yr it was crazy, we drove counter-clockwise in a circle from akc airport around the whole state. never again. i shoulda hit stryker tho....hell i was right there what was i thinking?
August 8, 200717 yr When I moved from Geauga County into Cuyahoga County (Berea), I thought that was close-in. Then I moved to Lakewood, and thought that was close-in (and considered Berea far out). And when I spend a day on transit around downtown, Ohio City and Tremont, now Lakewood seems far away. And, when your frame of reference gets changed in that way, Avon Lake seems like it might as well be near Toledo. BTW, nice pics!

August 8, 200717 yr As usual, the professional writer has put what I was trying to say into words better then I could have.
August 8, 200717 yr Ha ha (how's that for fancy writing?) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
August 9, 200717 yr amazing job, you photo-snapping maniac... This hot dog condiment race looks to be the lamest one of these silly baseball food races yet... at least here in Pittsburgh we have a pierogie race... (I know you're jealous, Cleveland!)
