We experienced more storms pass through yesterday afternoon. The storms over Lake Erie are always a treat to watch. So I went up on my roof to watch:
This picture shows the leading edge of a t-storm over the Lake. You can see the top of Browns Stadium as well. In the foreground is a smorgasboard of restaurants in the Warehouse District. You can see the buildings that house the Chop House, XO, Blue Point, Johnny's, Nauti Mermaid and so on.
This picture is a little west of the previous one and shows more of the District. The 1848 Hilliard Building is in the foreground. West 9th running North-South and it's intersection of St Clair Ave. More restaurants such as Mallorcas, Brasa, Water Street, Map Room, etc... follow W 9th to the lake and you can make out the cranes and Salty unloading. (sorry bad camera phone pics). Beyond that you can see the Lake and the River's brown flood water entering the Lake.
This pic is further west. You can see both the Cuyahoga River and the Lake. The Nautica Queen is shown moored in the river. The Main Avenue Bridge, the Whiskey Island piles of Ore, and the Gold Coast of Lakewood can also be seen. I believe it is called the gold coast because the sunrise reflects gold off the high rise buildings there, I think.
Yes the roof is a great place to sit back and watch. The late night summertime party crowds number into 5 digits in this district and there is never a dull mooment. Always something happenin'
Cheers
