Previous Day :: Next Day

David: Joey: yeah, i'm from cleveland repping the west side, more specifically Ohio City. Little Italy is my favorite ES spot to visit. Jamie:I use an early 80's Ae-1. It's so simple and fun to use. EvilGentlemen: I know Cleveland pretty well. It's surprisingly huge so I can't claim...

in response to The Flats

joey: evilg: private eye. sees all.

in response to Harlem River Drive

Sticky: Thanks for the words all. I write a fair amount of stuff and will add some other posts as they come along. I saw Jamie post somewhere about his want for more written words, that's what made me think of posting this. It feels good to not be a lurker anymore.

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

David: P.S. It's awesome to see two C-town posts in one day.

in response to CWRU Bldg

David: I always make sure to show visitors the Gehry building. It may not be as prominant as Chicago's, but the museums and the garden are a pretty big tourist draw. There aren't many better places for it.

in response to CWRU Bldg

EvilGentleman: Ah, that would explain it. I still have so much to learn.

in response to CWRU Bldg

Jon: Its a shame cleveland's gehry isnt as promenant as chicagos. The chicago one is seen by everyone who visits the city. Our archetictural landmark is the questionable rock hall

in response to CWRU Bldg

Jon: Is that the new fisheye lense?

in response to The Flats

joey: evilg; frank gehry designed of both buildings.

in response to CWRU Bldg

Sirhcbre: Yup, I almost missed my train taking that shot. I've been getting pretty weird looks from people when standing around taking pictures of the floor and cement walls.

in response to Colour and Texture: Metro Lionel Groulx

EvilGentleman: LMAO, no reading between the lines on that reply. Dammit! :-P

in response to Colour and Texture: Metro Lionel Groulx

EvilGentleman: Nice graf, Neath. Where is it? But maybe it would fit better on a post about graf. Sirhcbre has been doing some Montreal graf posts recently. This would go nice there, or even possibly in a post of its own.

in response to Montreal Signs 2: Beaconsfield, Kirkland, DDO

chiamattt: He's crippled. I don't know why they wear the rubber trousers. I think its due to the 'dragging themselves around the city". There are people like him all over the city. They mostly stick to the busy shopping streets. They push a cart along that has a basket for donations...

in response to Gangnam and Yeoksam

EvilGentleman: I like texture shots. And I know where you shot most of these, too. The wood is that tree trunk just beyond and at the same level as the ticket booths, isn't it?

in response to Colour and Texture: Metro Lionel Groulx

EvilGentleman: Nice, jack. I notice these are shot from the backseat. Who's driving?

in response to Harlem River Drive

EvilGentleman: Was Gehry a student of Guggenheim's, by any chance? Looks a bit like the museum in Bilbao.

in response to CWRU Bldg

EvilGentleman: I miss the military planes from my days of living on military bases in my childhood. I live next door to the international airport now, but Boeings, Airbuses and all the other commercial airliners are just so boring, it hurts. If only an old B-52 would wander by...

in response to Noisy Birds That Don\'t Flap Their Wings

EvilGentleman: I remember going through Cleveland on a greyhound and seeing some very large, abandoned freeways that were deteriorating pretty badly. Would you happen to have any shots of them?

in response to The Flats

EvilGentleman: Wow, it looks like all you need outside is a sign that reads "Condoz Foя Sale - Cheep!"

in response to Penthouses

EvilGentleman: Hopefully the patients' teeth will not look like the sign.

in response to Falling Sign

EvilGentleman: I just looked it up on Google Earth. My current guess is that the right side is West New York, and the left side foreground is Weehawken, and the apartment blocks are in Union City, behind Weehawken. I'm unsure if anything in North Bergen is visible in this shot.

in response to Queen Mary\'s Berth

Sirhcbre: How did they die?

in response to Harlem River Drive

EvilGentleman: I'm gonna guess the background is Hudson County, New Jersey.

in response to Queen Mary\'s Berth

Sirhcbre: I am inclined to agree.

in response to CWRU Bldg

Sirhcbre: haha, can you elaborate on what five-years-ago-you was?

in response to Colour and Texture: Metro Lionel Groulx

jack: you should have informed us of your drastic change. that is what makes the written word so great, it is the redemption. and children generally are the reason. children are precious.

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

EvilGentleman: I just thought about it, and I just realized a way to improve citynoise. Once a month, add an article authored by "Editors" that can serve as the citynoise bulletin board. If the editors have any news they wish to pass on to the rest of us, it can go...

in response to Banksy Rocks!

Sirhcbre: Haha, this is awesome. Banksy truly does rock!

in response to Banksy Rocks!

Guest416: What area of New York is in the background of this picture?

in response to Queen Mary\'s Berth

aer suzuki: very cool, a different part of the world to look at, thanks for posting.

in response to Penthouses

Jamie: no

in response to Penthouses

Jamie: i live next door (literally) to an operational air base. bloody eurofighters. noisy fuckers. four gazillion pounds of taxpayers money and they apparently can't fly in thick fog. or rain. or if you even just look at them funny before they take off. awesome. they have some spitfires though. they're...

in response to Noisy Birds That Don\'t Flap Their Wings

Jamie: interesting textures. you remind me of five-years-ago-me. which makes me smile and sigh in equal measure.

in response to Colour and Texture: Metro Lionel Groulx

Jamie: this is an inspired piece of writing. i don't believe it needs photos. it stands on it's own two feet. and i know i sound like a stuck record but i really wish people posted more of the written word here to balance all the great photos. feel free to...

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

Jamie: if you let us know exactly what you want changed i'm sure it wouldn't be too much trouble.

in response to Better Days

Jamie: care to elaborate on the rubber trousers guy?

in response to Gangnam and Yeoksam

Jamie: i wish i could have a lucid dream. ahhhhhh. these are good shots for a phone. what phone do you have. it's better than mine. i have cameraphone envy.

in response to Camera Phone - Aug. 06

Jamie: cool. you shoot film? nice shots.

in response to The Flats

joey: these are some nice shots of the flats. do you live in cleveland? we were there last month. it's been 30 years since i moved from cleveland to the west coast. i was on the east side . . . see little italy . . .

in response to The Flats

ksedge: great shots, i especially like the one of the snowbirds.

in response to Noisy Birds That Don\'t Flap Their Wings

slumville: letting ya'll know about a production wall being set up in northeast, should be the end of this month sept 30 2006. alcohal,dj,breakbeats. Set up by slumville...SGK HSK!!!!!

in response to PDX Graffiti 616 #2

Sticky: While I appreciate the input and advice you will be happy to know that things have changed drastically (a lot has to do with kids!) and this wasn't meant to be a "cry for help", merely a piece I wrote whilst in the throws of a bad lifestyle.

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

JournalThoughts: who is the artist who draws and or paints the lady in red on the wall near a bus stop...

kim: been there so many times, now i have a reason to not be a looser. My reason is 7 yrs old and my son is my new life.

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

Quagmire: By far the best "post no bills" notice I have ever seen. So much so that I had a t-shirt made up with it on it.

in response to post no bills

Dianna: Do raccoons tear up new lawns ?my neighbor has a new lawn and almost every nite parts of the lawn are folded back like a carpet. We have alot of raccoons around but this is really weird

aer suzuki: ...and what's up with the kid and the squirrel...oddness, man, oddness.

in response to Airport Scenes 1

aer suzuki: fah-keeng weird!! are you serious? no...these really exist? where? wish i'd seen this sooner, you'll probably never see this to answer, but where are these exactly? and what kind of camera did you use, a couple of those pictures are amazingly clear...

in response to Airport Scenes 1

aer suzuki: amazing talent you have up there.

in response to Plateau Noise - Rue Mont-Royal

Mutt: Do any of you remember the kodak bird that used to "fly" when you took the metro?

JWT: Classic Brooklyn. Wonderful photos.

in response to Old Italian Neighborhood

chris: The place is cool and if your on a bike the ride is awesome, I think Jim built this castle so everyone would come and see it and he could tell everyone how he felt about the government,, If you build it, they will come

in response to Bishop Castle: Another Self-Made Masterpiece

david: i was there, i read it too

in response to Broadway Babe

Sirhcbre: I had to wait in outpatience for about 9 hours once. ironically, the nurs said she figured my chest pains were probably a result of my galbladder going on the fritz. it turned out I was drinking too much apple juice (I wasn't used to city water) so...

in response to Hospital No Waiting Room

ColoradoHustler: La Junta isnt all that bad unless you are lookin for work then ur better off somewhere else...I lived here most my life about 12 years and its nice becuz u can walk down the main streets and nobody is tryin to sell u drugs or beg u for money...

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 8

Sirhcbre: I'm always sending emails to the editors asking them to change things or forgetting to put the city name in. I was tempted to ask to have all my articles changed to one name but figured it would be too much to ask for.

in response to Better Days

wake up call: I wish I could edit my comments - I tend to babble. When I read it later out of context I think "Ouch!". (I'll probably feel that way about this one as well).

in response to Better Days

wake up call: Sorry about the call out - Reb Hirsc?

in response to Better Days

Sirhcbre: I was using my real name, I changed it because I wanted anonymity. If we're ever able to edit old posts I want to make them all under the same name and a different one. I just chose the current one so people could make a connection between the current...

in response to Better Days

Sirhcbre: There's a good reason for that though, the reason Europe and North America have so few on this list is because their major cities are all cities that were booming when building heights wern't as impressive as they are now. A good number of the cities on this list...

in response to The Top 15 Skylines in the World

wake up call: Your name looks like an anagram - why did you change?

in response to Better Days

EvilGentleman: I just noticed that the border was around the picture before the actual image itself loaded. How did you do that, and can non-editors do it too?

in response to Better Days

wake up call: My father and one of my closest friends both drank to death. My father was about 90 pounds when he died, his 3rd wife didn't want him around anymore and none of his family would take him in. We loved him but we couldn't watch him kill himself. ...

in response to Dirty Nights and Painful Mornings.

James: Yesterday I returned to my current home city of Shenzhen after a week's stay in Tokyo. Since we fly into Hong Kong airport, that means I passed through 3 of the top 15 cities in a short trip. It makes me realize what no one seems to have mentioned so far:...

in response to The Top 15 Skylines in the World

EvilGentleman: My wife and I have since been back and have experienced 6 or 7-hour waits (2 hours for triage, and 3 to see an actual doctor, and finally, another hour or two for the doctor to wander back with a diagnosis)

in response to Hospital No Waiting Room

EvilGentleman: jack, I ran the text above through Babel Fish and got this messed-up translation that I think is an apology for typing in Korean on a primarily English website, but since the person typing cannot write in English, that is the only means they have of expressing themselves. The babelfish-mutilated translation: The...

EvilGentleman: Long live the urban wheelbarrow!
