CLEVELAND Photo Tour (July 2010), Part 1: Downtown
I visited Cleveland on my Northern Ohio tour from July 14th-18th of this year.
Here in the first part of my phototour, I took pictures of mainly Cleveland's downtown and the lakeshore. Reserve Square Apartments  Allerton Apartments  Embassy Suites  Chesterfield Building  Ohio Savings Bank  Chester Commons  The Historic and Classic Huntington Bank Building  Looking up at the PNC Building...   Base of Huntington Bank Building  Cleveland Trust Building and Tower, similar concept to the old Buffalo Savings Bank building  City Club Building  Huntington Bank Building  Cleveland's famous and historic Euclid Avenue  Cleveland Trust and Clock...  Historic Buildings along Euclid...     Wyndham Hotel, in the city's Theater District...   Cleveland's Theater District   Playhouse Square Complex  Ohio and State Theatres  Palace Theatre   Cleveland State University     The Halle Building (No, not named after Halle Berry, who was born and raised in Cleveland)   Winton Manor  Ohio Medical Mutual Building  Caxton Building  AT&T Huron Building   Colonial Marketplace  Terminal Tower and Prospect Fourth Building    Key Tower, second-tallest building between Chicago and New York City (after the Comcast Center in Philadelphia)  200 Public Square (home to the worst Oil company, ever, British Petroleum)  Gen. Moses Cleaveland Statue, founder of the city  Base of Tower City Center, once a railroad terminal station...  Looking up at the Terminal Tower...  Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Public Square...    House of Blues Concert Venue  The Historic Arcade Building  4th Street Entertainment and Nightlife District  Corner Alley Bowling Lanes, one of the rare downtown locations for a bowling alley anywhere...  Holiday Inn Express      Cleveland School District Building  Key Tower again...  Cleveland Convention Center  Cleveland Public Library, 200 Public Square, and Post Office/Custom House from the Cleveland Mall  Cleveland Public Library  Post Office and Customs House   Base of Key Tower and Marriott Key Center, my hotel...   Lobby of the Hotel...  My temporary home in downtown Cleveland...  Views from the room...     Cuyahoga County Courthouse...   Top of the Key Tower...  Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building, One Cleveland Center, Convention Center, Fifth Third Bank, among other buildings  Cleveland Browns Stadium, the sister of Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium   Great Lakes Science Center   The Famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum (which I visited on this trip on the Saturday)   Cleveland's Lake Shore Industry...  Lakefront Walking Area   Lake Erie, looking towards Canada (and Ontario, my home turf)    Cleveland skyline shots from the Lakefront      Birthplace of Rock and Roll Plaque  Behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  East Downtown Cleveland  Rear of the Cleveland Convention Center  Cleveland City Hall   FREE Stamp  One of the many guitars in the city...   Rear of the Cuyahoga County Courthouse   Front of the Cuyahoga County Courthouse  St. Clair Building  Looking up at Key Tower   Society for Savings Building  Historic Old Stone Church   Key Tower       I ate my supper that night in the 4th Street Nightlife area as suggested by a very friendly city hall employee  I ate at 4th Street Bar and Grill, good fish and chips, hopefully it was out of Lake Erie, the fish!  Looking up at 200 Public Square  The Arcade  Inside the arcade, one of the most magnificent enclosed shopping malls I have seen, makes my beloved provincial capital's Eaton Centre look like crap...       Hope you enjoyed the first part of my Cleveland trip! COMING SOON... night shots, University Circle, Little Italy, Cleveland Clinic, Warehouse District, Indians/Tigers games.

What a great bunch of shots of downtown Cleveland and its many historic buildings - as well as some of its newer ones. Sure are a lot of those big, classic, monumental stone buildings. Thanks Jaybird.

Nice pictures. I was in Cleveland a little more than a week before you and I recognize places that I saw. You seemed to have covered twice as much as me. There are a lot of nice older highrises that I wish that I had come across.

Jaybird, I'm almost three years too late but I thought that I would show my appreciation for the great shots that you took of Cleveland. Not exactly what the media depicts of this sleeping giant. Kudos to ya Jaybird!

A remarkable city that I am proud to say I grew up in. The most underrated city in North America. Would love to see some pics of the unbelievably beautiful suburbs of Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. They have some of the greatest early 20th century residential architecture in the US.

Hey Cleveland.............guess what, you really are hit.
On the front page of the Arts and Entertainment section of Canada's Globe & Mail newspaper {considered Canada's "national" paper and it's most respected} you are big news. The story "Think you know Cleveland?" is a very glowing report of the rennaisance of your fair metropolis and how it has become a food, entertainment, and hipster mecca. How the city has become so inviting especially thru it's many neighbourhoods, eateries, arts, and conventions. How the downtown has become hip, urbane, and has many beautiful architectural gems. Atleast in Canada, you couldn't hope for a better and more national spotlight if you tried. Canada is your biggest international tourist draw and this can only help. The old adage of "no news is good news" doesn't work when trying to sell your city to businesses and tourists and as far as Canadians go, you just got a big shot in the arm. |
