The HBIC from the CLE


« on: November 14, 2009, 09:15:06 AM »

Okay, who knew we'd have such unseasonably warm weather in November? It's been in the 50s and today will be in the 60s?

Nice.  The billboards are becoming a bit "artsy".  ;)

November has been better than October! Sunnier too. In Toledo, we've broken 70 a couple times this month, and actually had the warmest day of the whole fall season.

Anyway, beautiful thread of the CLE.

Great photos, but I had to turn the youtube song off 18 seconds into it :p

Are the buses in this photo part of that new rapid transit bus line?

Didn't they want to put rail in and decided to go with buses instead? I think TANK in NKY operates a similar model bus on their express lines.

Again, gorgeous photos, weather has been great.

Great photos!

On the City-Data.com forums, people will often post pictures as proof of how great their city is.  I know it's a bit juvenile, but I sometimes wish you (and the other great photographers here) would participate in some of these forums to blow these other people out of the water. :)

Cleveland is really close to having a great skyline.  I think we need one more skyscraper to fill/balance the skyline.  40-50 stories but exactly where should it go and in what style? I think that the new skyscraper in Cincinnati with its art deco crown treatment is going to look great but I am not sure that would be right for Cleveland.  Also the stonebridge area is really coming along. a few more buildings there and it will look great too.

The last thing Cleveland needs is another 40-50 story skyscraper.... unless it is something symbolic a la the Space Needle in Seattle.  Once we are all filled in, then we can talk about building up.

^I have better questions.  Who is going to fill it and who is going to pay for it?

Bingo.  Every week or two we say the same thing over and over and over.

Is there anyway we can talk the developers into leaving the fire engine red accents off of Circle 118?

Great photos. I'm surprise more people weren't out walking and biking to enjoy the great weather. I saw a pretty good evening crowds along lower Euclid and East 4th last week, so I know they were out there!!

Great shots! Cleveland, like other Ohio cities, need to ditch skyscrapers for more lower-density development to gain more street level activity. I have to say I'm a bit perturbed that my donations paid for a billboard that is most likely to scare people away from here.  ;)

These are fabulous, billboard and all! Cleveland's looking good here. I'm hoping to make a very brief stop there this coming week... the weather had better not suck!

Nice... squirrel is the greatest!!! Does anyone know if the whole Terminal Tower will ever be lit up again? I like it better when the whole thing is lit....  Makes a much more prominent presence at night.
