Picture Thread (Columbus, Cleveland, East Cleveland: apartments, how much, hotel)

I have a photoblog, but it is a little different. Check it out:

I also take skyline shots when I can, of course in Columbus where I live now but any city I visit. For all the skyline photographers out there, I have a question. What area/view do you think makes the Columbus skyline look best and/or most dense? I think facing north, from I-71 south of Greenlawn makes the skyline appear really big and most dense. Pain in the butt to take pics from that area though. Also, I-70 driving east just past Livingston is pretty nice, and the 17th Ave-I-71 area facing south is pretty good. Seems when anyone shoots pics for publicity wants to focus on the 3-4 tallest buildings, taken around the river and Bicentennial Park. Those are nice shots and all, but from that angle really makes our skyline look smallish. Agree or disagree anyone?

To: Columbusneon- I have a suggestion to your question on the best place for skyline pics. I'm not a photographer, but you're right. Coming from the south, the city looks big, but there's really nothing high down there to take pics from. I really like the view from the west side, coming in 670. with the sun behind the buildings in the am, it's really cool. there's a few spots that could work, if you stopped on the freeway. I also like the view from the Confluence Park area. Around Spring St. when you're on the on-ramp to 315/71 south. but there's so much overhead stuff in the way. thanks for the pics!

Wow, so is Columbus one big "hood"?

new cities like columbus usually dont look as dense because they are missing the older/smaller buildings between the new scyscrapers that are built.cleveland and cinci for example have many 20-25 story old buildings inbetween the new ones that have been built.

Are you referring to Mrb69s photos?

No, Columbus is not close to being one big "hood". Most areas of the city are either pretty nice or average/working class. Mrb69 will not admit it (although its obvious), but he was focusing on the decay/blight of lower income areas on the Eastside and Northside (off of Cleveland Ave) of the old city limits. Its interesting because a lot of people want to see things like that, but thats only a very small part of Columbus.

Some areas of Columbus look like this (Woodland Park):

Camden, East St. Louis, East Cleveland, Highland Park MI, Compton, along with others are all pretty close to being one big hood.
