Here is a view looking to the west towards The Warehouse District and out to what's referred to as The Gold Coast of Lake Erie. In the bottom right corner of the photo is The Old Stone Church. It's a nice place. I've shot two weddings there. The minister, however, must think he's running a concentration camp. You can't do anything she deems inappropriate -- like sneeze. You'll be banned for life. Yes, really.
Anyway, in this picture is the west side of Cleveland it looks to be marginally less of a toilet than the rest of Cleveland. It looks that way, anyway.
Yeah, it's Cleveland, so don't get too excited. But for us surface-level, worker-drone types, it's a rare treat to see the world from this perspective.I was fairly snap-happy, so I took lots of pictures -- many of which I knew would be lame. Here is a lame picture of Public Square:
Nothing special -- again, just a chance to see it from a different vantage point. Pay special attention to the top right corner of the photo, the area where there is a car initiating a right turn.
Today, that same maneuver wouldn't have been possible:
A closer look?

As my mother pointed out, in a *real* city -- a city with real traffic, this sort of thing would have been paralyzing. When I drove down there, I encountered not a single problem.
Your tax dollars at work, they are.

Wow, that's a big hole. I can't believe you didn't have any problems with traffic. It's just outside of my frame of reference.
