Wow, these are really good. Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking that I was hoping that someone would post another Cleveland photo thread. This was even better than I expected. Thanks!

Spectacular!  Incredible variety.  I have to chck out that Seven Roses place sometime....

And the night shots downtown rock.  For some reason I particularly love the view through the window of the Alex Bar and Bistro.  Looks like a chill place for a late night drink.

Wow, great shots! Thanks!  You really have knack for photography!  Quick question, where are those mansions by the lake?

Excellent pictures; totally agree with the previous poster that the night shots of downtown are awesome.  For some reason I also especially like the picture of the chain link fence with the "No Smoking" writing.  Where is that located?

Definitely Bratenahl.  I lived there...very familiar with those homes.  That blue house recently sold for less than $300,000.

A great set of pictures, Clueless, Ohio!  If outsiders don't realize how rich Cleveland is, these photos would certainly boost their understanding.  What a variety of views of your beloved city--thanks!

Wonderful visual diversity!  Good job Clueless.

The mansions are definitely Bratenahl.... betweeen 140th and Eddy Rd to be exact, I believe.  The marina photographed is Newport Harbor, which right next to the Shoreby Club.  There is a great view of downtown from Hanna beach at the end of those docks.

The blue house is further west (by Bratenahl Rd./E. 105th St.), but I'm not sure about the rest.

Thanks for the comments!
The Bratenahl houses pictured are from all different parts of LSB --- from E. 140th end to the MLK end. Oh and a couple from the end of Corning Drive.

sizzlinbeef --  wow! you know downtown.



I also like the No Smoking photo along with night shot of DNA Level C nightclub and the Alex Bistro in PHS.


As picture # 15 shows, it appears (maybe confirmed somewhere?) that a second grand apartment building on East Blvd is gettiing restored in this surviving stand of about 8 of these. Some other pics of it...

That's one of the best photo collections I've seen posted here at UO. Not only was the subject matter diverse but it was artistic, plus much more "intimate" and human than most city photos. Good architecture. Good people shots. Good grit. And good glitter. I absolutely loved it.

The no-smoking picture was also my fave, but I liked these too:

The Clueless camera was on fire!  Amazing day-night gallery; very well done.  (the photo the toddler in front of the Soldier's & Sailors mon. could win an award, esp if you crop out mom steps ahead of him).

First time posting. Been viewing for a while though. I have to say that this is definitely in the top 5 best photo threads I've seen on here.
A very comprehensive look at the good and bad of my favorite city!

Welcome. I've got family in Youngstown as well as clients. So I've been going there multiple times each year since 1967. Check out my two photo threads on Youngstown steel, if you haven't already.

I'm always dying for a good gourmet mac n cheese. Kraft don't do me no good..

Thanks!
Noodlecat is great. For mac and cheese though you will want to try JB Mack on Euclid & E.21st in the heart of CSU (just opened yeserday).
I called there yesterday afternoon after wanting to check it out last night but they're only open 11 AM - 2 PM their first 2 or 3 weeks. They'll definitely be open longer in time for the influx of CSU students they say.
