Ran across this photo a while back and I’m just now getting an opportunity to post it. Cleveland’s most (and only?) iconic building, the Terminal Tower was lit up with the rainbow colors earlier this year to promote Gay Games 9 in 2014.
There are some GREAT things going on these days in Cleveland. I for one am so proud of the town I call home.
That’s Cleveland Baby!!!
The Terminal Tower in Cleveland is certainly our most well known building. And you never know just what color it’s going to be on any given day. Actually… that’s not true. If you look at this schedule and follow @TowerLightsCLE on Twitter you know EXACTLY what color it’s going to be!
What’s YOUR favorite color scheme for the Terminal Tower?

Ran across this photo the other day and simply had to post it. This is from Balloonfest ’86 when a half a million balloons were released in downtown Cleveland.
If you’re interested in reading some more details about Balloonfest ’86 you can read about it on Wikipedia.

We’re not even to Thanksgiving yet, but it’s been looking a lot like Christmas for a few weeks now in Tower City.
There’s just something special about seeing the holiday decorations in Tower City.
It’s the time of year Cleveland… Are you ready?!?
Hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday this week folks!

This is one of the first That’s Cleveland Baby! pictures I ever took. I was walking through Tower City one glorious spring morning and looked up through the glass ceiling and saw the Terminal Tower staring me right in the face. I have to say that no matter how many times I see this view it really does take my breath away.
I took this one on my iPhone proving once again you don’t need to be a pro photographer to capture something beautiful.

I ran across this amazing shot on Instagram the other day when scrolling through my timeline. It was posted by the incredibly talented Mike Waterhouse. And while Instagram can make even the most novice picture taker look like a pro, Mike is indeed just that. Dude is AMAZING when he picks up a camera. I found the original, non-Instagrammed image and that’s what you see below. You can follow Mike on Instagram, on Twitter at @MikeWaterhouse or on his blog at http://nakedbagel.com/
If you’re interested, here’s the Instagram photo that I first saw.
Mike took this photo of the downtown skyline on Cleveland’s 217th birthday on July 22nd, 2013. I’m a few days late, but I’d like to wish the town I love a very happy birthday.

If you’ve read any of my stuff here, you’ll know that I’m a pretty big baseball fan. That said, Progressive Field (Jacob’s Field to me, but that’s another story altogether) holds a special place in my heart. I ran across this photo on Twitter the other day where user @GirlFromThe216 had is a her Twitter background. The sunset here showing through the clouds with the Terminal Tower and Progressive Field in the foreground make for an amazing photo.
What an amazing shot. Have you been out to Progressive Field yet this year? If not what’s stopping you? You could be missing out on a beautiful sunset such as this.

You just never know what you’re going to see if you’re walking through Public Square in Cleveland. You just may see one Cleveland icon reflected in another.
This is a picture of the Terminal Tower reflected in 55 Public Square, also known as The Illuminating Building.

One year ago today, the Horseshoe Casino is downtown Cleveland opened its doors to the public. It’s been a great year and by all indications business is good at The Shoe. Congrats to everyone involved in bringing Cleveland another great landmark!
You can find the Horseshoe Cleveland on the web at horseshoecleveland.com or on Twitter at @HorseshoeCLE.

A few years ago, when you drove into downtown and would be greeted with a Cleveland icon… LeBron James. Back in those days LeBron’s banner with his arms outstretched had simply one word on it… “Witness“. These days as you make your way downtown you’re still greeted with an icon but it’s no longer Mr. James. These days the icon is Cleveland herself.
The “Witness” banner has been replaced with one sponsored by home town Sherwin-Williams that has a picture of Cleveland with seven words: “Our Home Since 1866. Our Pride Forever”

If there is one building that’s iconic to Cleveland, it’s the Terminal Tower. One of the thing that I LOVE about the Tower is when it’s lit up in the Cleveland night. Throughout the year how it’s lit changes based on the time of year, activities around town, etc. This particular image was snapped during the holidays this past year when the Tower was decked out in traditional Christmas colors. Love it!
What other color schemes have you seen on the Tower?

There are a couple of intersections around town that simply scream “CLEVELAND!!!”. For me this one is right up there. When I arrive at the corner of East 9th and Prospect it just feels like home. Look north and you can see the Medical Mutual building, the Key Bank building and the lake looming in the distance. Looks south and you can see Progressive Field. This particular photo looks to the east and shows the Terminal Tower which is in my opinion THE icon of the Cleveland skyline.
So what do you think… Do you have another favorite intersection in Cleveland? Send it in and we’ll get it posted!
