CLEVELAND - It's Officially Summer

[MayDay]

I've been getting out and about taking photos but haven't had a chance to post them until now - enjoy:





















I love this view of our convention center - it's underground


And this will soon be the site of a 370+ ft. Hilton hotel:






















There are days when I look at at the forecasts and just know there are going to be some good shots - this was one of them


Lunchtime in the Arcade:





Summertime temps = more pedestrian traffic














As much as I love downtown, there's so much more:


This is from a bridge in my neighborhood at rush hour - at 5:15pm we were walking to a great happy hour at one of the hotspots in the Tremont neighborhood. Meanwhile on the highway below, commuters were stuck en route to the 'burbs.


Speaking of the Tremont area:
















Back downtown:


The ornate cornice of the United Church of Christ headquarters:




Some elevated views:










And back down to earth at East 9th and Euclid:


Over toward Huron/Prospect:








Over the bridge to the west side:






And on the South Side in Tremont, demolition of the Innerbelt bridge








A brief departure out of the city:








I said it was brief - here's the first glimpse of downtown from the 480/271 ramps:


And from the I480/Valley View bridge:


And from I-77 northbound:






Back downtown with Miss Liberty:




And over to the east side en route to the Solstice Party at the Cleveland Museum of Art:








At the museum in the Atrium which doubled as the headquarters for SHIELD in the 'Captain America: Winter Soldier" movie:


The early hours are a little more formal:




And the evening hours get a little crazy!


Or sedate if you duck into the museum itself:






Or back outside with the performance artists - it's all good!


And after that, we closed the place - hope you enjoyed!

Very nice pictures of Cleveland, MayDay! Great composition! Thanks.

Summer at Cleveland looks very enjoyable!

By the way, this juxtaposition is amazing:



Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Great Cleveland coverage as per your usual. So nice to see the city de-rust over the last decade. MayDay, thanks for sharing your pics and genuine love for the city.

First time I've noticed First National Bank's corporate signage in the skyline.

I was stalking you when you took this.

Cleveland is among a few cities I never get sick of seeing.

For some reason Cleveland makes me want to drink... and lift my legs... hmmmmmm

Love the pics, Mr. Day!
