Theres a west Cleveland last time I checked.....
East Cleveland is a seperate city......wow, and The westside of Cleveland isnt all nice, Cleveland doesnt have a "nice" side of town. Half the westside of Cleveland is considered "the hood" or "the ghetto" also. Even in west park theres a ghetto. You obviously dont know much about Cleveland.

Columbus isnt as ghetto as you want it to be, and Cleveland isnt as nice as you want it to be. I stayed on topic, and now you need to also.

Columbus' central city or older neighborhood street car suburbs from the pre and post WWII era have many ravines.

While there may be a lack of large mountains there are hills, green forest, and great parks. Many who live in the cities sprawling west and east side suburbs fail to realize that Columbus has such urban treasures as these wooded urban neighborhoods.

An example is Iuka Ravine The area is literally just north of downtown columbus and the NE of the Ohio State University. Some know the area as "north Campus" but the neighborhood is really a subset of north campus.

This beautiful ravine is in the central city but looks like a peaceful little village. The center of the ravine is a public park "Iuka Park." The neighborhood is a mix of students, fraternaties, apartments, and home owners (couples, older couples, gay couples, and singles.)

This is why Columbus is so great, gem of neighborhoods like these lye just a block from busy urban streets like High St.

The areas of the metro that have this unique ravine like layout are the northern/central section of Columbus (just north of downtown) to the NW side of the city and metro. This includes Columbus neighborhoods like North Campus (where Iuka Ravine is), Clintonville, and other parts of NW Columbus. Also, parts of the suburbs of Worthington, Delaware, and Powell have these ravine and hill geography.

IUKA RAVINE

Here is the location of the neighborhood just minutes from downtown and in the central city, northern/core.

Wow streetcreed, I had forgotten about Ikua Ave. It certainly was a remarkable place, especially considering where it was located relative to the core of the city.

Thinking back a couple of years, Columbus had a few ravine streets that really surprised you considering how flat the general area is. Ikua Ave was certainly one of those streets, along with Cliffside Drive/Parkview Drive just north of E Arcadia at Indianola, and Wahalla Rd, which runs between Indianola and High just to the north of E Weber Rd.

Default Edgy / distressing pictures

Wow, I hope your lens manages to find some beauty and joy the next time around. You paint a grim picture with these that is both brutally honest but at the same time not the whole truth about these neighborhoods. Interesting though. Some cool shots, they really get you... and very, what is the word, moody? Atmospheric? Damp maybe...lol.

Whew, very extensive and sure gives a good view of a few areas. When you move out west, you really notice how much brick is used for construction in the midwest. They use very little of it out here in CA.

In part 3, where did you see the rooftop pool?

Thanks!
