June 10, 200817 yr ^BTW, nice 'hood MTS. I wish I had gotten some pics out there. Those Tudors are fantastic.
June 10, 200817 yr Amazing pics UncleRando...glad you enjoyed your time in Cleveland. Glad you got to see Little Italy and the Garfield Monument.
June 10, 200817 yr This pic is sweet! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e33/UncleRando/Cleveland/IMG_7536.jpg
June 10, 200817 yr Some nice artsy fartsies in there! P.S. Who was that crazy-looking black guy following you around in some of those shots??? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 10, 200817 yr Great pics of Ohio's Grandest! Glad to see you (especially) experiencing Ohio. Awkward.
June 10, 200817 yr does Corbo's have a new sign? Corbo's moved to an adjacent building that they had already owned. They put up a new sign and now their old space is for rent (but I thought that I some some permits posted in the windows).
June 10, 200817 yr "P.S. Who was that crazy-looking black guy following you around in some of those shots???" Crazy looking?? Nah, he's just plain nutz!!! :-D Great shots Rando and nice to finally meet you! :-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
June 10, 200817 yr ^You should talk, Charles Manson. Anyway, the shots turned out great. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 10, 200817 yr That pesky downtown neutron bomb certainly was exploded last Sunday... Embarrassing as a Clevelander.
June 10, 200817 yr "P.S. Who was that crazy-looking black guy following you around in some of those shots???" Crazy looking?? Nah, he's just plain nutz!!! :-D Great shots Rando and nice to finally meet you! :-) Hah!. You're probably just as nuts. I can't believe the clarity in these photos. Randy's a fantastic photographer. Looks like it was a good day to be out, too. I wouldn't call #30 'a bit much' for being massive. I like it- it reminds me of Detroit.
June 10, 200817 yr ^I gotta agree with David on this one. That art deco beast is one of my favorites in all of downtown. Downtown are exciting, in part, for their ability to make you feel so tiny (I think). That said, wonderful pictures!
June 10, 200817 yr ^BTW, nice 'hood MTS. I wish I had gotten some pics out there. Those Tudors are fantastic. Oh so you couldn't take pics in me and clvlndrs 'hood? Oh it's like that?! Aiight! Remember that!
June 10, 200817 yr Where were you in photo #2? University Circle? I really like that view of the skyline, though it's not as impressive with the naked eye if you're in UC. (too far away). Does anyone know of a comparable view closer in?
June 10, 200817 yr ^^Yup, top of the Garfield Monument in Lakeview Cemetery. Too bad it was so hazy out at that time.
June 10, 200817 yr "Does anyone know of a comparable view closer in?" The parking garages of University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic; the view from the top floor of Rhodes Tower at CSU is pretty good as well: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
