CLEVELAND Photo Tour (July 2010), Part 4: Warehouse District, Tower City

[Jaybird]

Well, better late than never, I guess, here is the fourth and final part of my trip to Cleveland last month. This part includes Tower City Center, the Warehouse District, and the second ball game.

Started out @ Tower City, Downtown Cleveland's Enclosed Retail Complex




View of the Flats and the Cuyahoga River...










Key Tower peaking out behind Tower City


Hard Rock Cafe, where I ate supper, I figured I would eat here since I did go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.




Inside the Hard Rock...


Interior of Tower City...










Terminal Tower ceiling detail...


Terminal Tower lobby... the observation deck was open from 12-4 pm that day and I arrived at 3:00 pm only to find out they had stopped selling tickets at 2:30 pm, which was a bit frustrating. I was never told and I never read ANYWHERE that you had to get tickets in advance or by 2:30 pm for this and if the observation deck is open from 12-4, why do you STOP selling tickets at 2:30? I guess I should have asked, oh well, what can you do?

RTA Waterfront Line Tracks


Many of the old factories in this area have been converted to condos or lofts...

Looking on I-90 towards Toledo from Progressive Field




I like the shots better from up here, a clear central view of the field and awesome skyline shots...




































Downtown from the upper part of the Stadium




Clouds started to roll in...










In the 9th inning, it began to rain, thus delaying the game and forcing me to go back to my hotel room for the night, as I had to leave early the next day for home


Many people left, I stuck around for a while to see if they could get the game started again...


But no luck... Tigers lost the game, 2-1, thus losing BOTH GAMES I saw in Cleveland...


It was a great trip, though. Hope to make it back someday! Hope y'all enjoyed my pictures!
