In celebration of the first day where temps were high (we hit 70 degrees) and skies were blue:

This small alley is called Theresa Court - no idea who she was...

The Board of Education building's awesome light fixtures:

Okay, these pedestrians were actually flown in for the photos - I had to pay them each a dollar

Even under construction, there were a lot of people out on Euclid. Fyi - for those who are interested, Vivo was open for lunch (aka they've reopened after the kitchen fire):

Nice details on the Arcade's Euclid Avenue tower:

More pedestrians!

Fire escape, anyone?

At one point the building with the fire escapes might have been considered tall...

East 4th Street:

Prospect Avenue:

I had to pay extra for the dog-walking pedestrian

Landmark Office Towers:

The penthouse units of the Park Building in the foreground (right side) will have awesome views of Public Square:

Public Square was definitely hopping:

Reflections, anyone?

Bank signage, anyone?

Pedestrians on East 9th:

And in celebration of the first day the S.O. could put the top down on the convertible

Looking south on East 9th Street:

Tower at Erieview and AT&T Lakeside:

Looking south, this time on West 9th:

Cornices for everybody!

Terminal Tower plays peek-a-boo:

I held the camera backward, and hoped I'd get a decent shot... not too shabby!

Hope you enjoyed!

Bah! Seventy degrees and me couped up with a sinus infection! Bah, again!

Pedestrians? In the Midwest? That's unpossible!

Awesome! The coming of spring is always a great feeling in Cleveland.

Yay pedestrians! And you didn't even have to use the zoom to make it seem like there were even more of them!

BTW, the sidewalks along East 9th Street (er, Rock & Roll Boulevard) ought to be widened. Sometimes you have to squeeze past the light/utility poles.

I can see the Oprah episode now: "Everybody gets a cornice! You get a cornice! And you get a cornice! And you get a cornice!"

Way to make me want to go back home...

Oh, and ColDay needs a convertible too! Not another foreign car.

was that episode on re-run today?

I'm reminded of a favorite Onion story...

Area Students Prepare Breasts For Increased Springtime Display

Female college students from across the northern U.S. celebrated the improved weather this week, preparing their breasts for the increased exposure and display that the warm weather now demands. For the last several months, the students' breasts have existed only in the imaginations and fond memories of others, obscured by baggy sweaters, bulky ski jackets, and shapeless flannel...

Yay for sunny, warm days! I got my bike out today, pumped up the tires and took a ride. I rode in the sun to a meeting downtown, and rode home in a downpour!

Map Boy · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2007, 01:58:59 PM »

Who's gonna send this photo montage to Jennifer Hunter (at the Chicago Sun-Times)?

Great shots MayDay!

Is that actual work I see being done in the Bar One space on Superior?

Florida Guy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2007, 02:04:53 PM »

^ Exactly what I was thinking... and so much for the debate if there are more pedestrians when it is 70 degrees vs. 30!!

MayDay · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2007, 02:06:40 PM »

No - really guys - those are all my co-workers, and I paid them to walk around like that!

Could have been worse. Could have happened the other way around!

There was a debate?

MayDay · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2007, 02:55:22 PM »

There was, but I banned him for two months

Map Boy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:01:05 PM »

But seriously, action at Bar One?

MayDay · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:05:48 PM »

Honestly I didn't even notice that until I downloaded the pics, but yeah it looked like there was *something* happening there.

Map Boy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:18:41 PM »

Not that I'll ever go there. I just have this theory that people put up signs for projects that never existed...just to keep things interesting!

ColDayMan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 15, 2007, 02:50:46 AM »

Some of our friends in the photos need to visit the Metroparks soon!

I should join them too!

KJP · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2007, 12:56:47 PM »

Where is Bar One? Is that the place seen to the right of the entrance to the Leader Building?

****Jerk Alert******
While I love the pictures...one bone of contention. It is something that erks me.

St. Paddy's day, not St. Patty's day. Patty is a girl, Paddy is a boy.

Please don't give me a two month time out, PLEASE.
If you get really mad think of how all of those firemen marching in the parade will fill you with civic pride.

P.S. Don't get me started on green beer!

*******Jerk alert has ended***********************

HEY! was that a shot at us firemen!?!?!

******Initiating Mandatory Jerk Alert Retort******

You know what "erks" me? When someone who's correcting someone else spell words incorrectly in their correction!
