Smile CLEVELAND - Back in the day

It's been a busy year with work and some travel, so just now getting around to posting a photo thread with images going back to spring. Yes, I took plenty of photos during the Cavs championship parade and hope to post those soon

Opening with a nice crisp shot where I wish I had my DSLR on me but the iPhone pic ain't too shabby.


My company had an event in the 925 Euclid building's atrium; fortunately I got some photos - unfortunately they had a minimal amount of the lights turned on so apologies for the wonky flash shots.














No reason to cry foul or quack up, just some shots from out and about:






















St. Patrick's Day didn't mark the end of cold and snow but at least we ended up with a sunny (albeit chilly) day.


























"And YOU get a parade, and YOU get a parade, and YOU get a parade!!!"












Anyone remember the arcade game "Skate or Die!"




The new Hilton, pre-upper floor signage:














Some photos from a quick trip to University of Akron for an event:










Exchange Street is a lot different from my memories from the mid-90s!


With the exception of Thursdays ... that ubiquitous dive joint:






















A new urban-format grocery store in the Highland Square neighborhood.






And back to Cleveland - I only had my iPhone for this but saw Belinda Carlisle (lead singer of the Go Go's) at Trinity Cathedral and it's just one of the coolest settings for a rock/pop concert. It's the seat of the Episcopal Church in Ohio and if not for a show, check the place out if you're in town- it's an incredible building with a lot of history:






Things are looking (and building) up








Speaking of up - how about some high-brow culture from the Cleveland Museum of Art, including some special exhibits for their centennial birthday and the blockbuster 'Pharaoh' exhibit:




















Enough high-brow, let's get down to the Flats:












Uh oh, a case of the bends - views from the Irishtown Bend neighborhood, named for the original settlers of the area, mostly Irish who worked in shipping:








Over to the recently opened Drury Plaza hotel in the former Board of Education building - don't know about the rooms but the lobby looks great. One nice thing - when the Board of Education resided here, the doors facing Mall A were always locked. Now we finally have one of the Group Plan buildings that opens onto the Mall - kinda cool if you ask me.










There was some controversy about this added canopy but turned out to be fine, imho:




Took me as long to put these photos together as it did for the Hilton signage to go up:


The redeveloped Schofield Building looks amazing from the Azure rooftop lounge at the 9 - it's now Cleveland's first Kimpton hotel:


Obligatory zoom in views of Euclid Avenue:




Some shots from Fast and Furious 8 - they were filming "second set" scenes so no celebrities, just stunts and whatnot. I saw some action shots but didn't have my camera with me at the time, ah well.






And wrapping it up with the soon to be opened redeveloped Public Square:








Hope you enjoyed!

These pics certainly prove Cleveland is HOT.

Fun and varied set MayDay. I was wondering if Elsa was with you at the St Patrick's Day parade? If so, what did she think about those Irish Wolfhounds.

Nice pictures!

Is it just me, or are there a lot of ships from Delaware up your way?

Looking forward to the parade pictures!

Nice shots of downtown Cleveland. It's been 10 years since I've been there last, so I need to get back!!
