For some out-of-town friends who haven't seen this place before. I still find it completely startling whenever I approach it in its otherwise nondescript pre-Depression-era neighborhood. The eastern flank of the cathedral is now menaced by a massive development of stratospherically-priced cluster-condos for the haute bourgeois who think it's hip to live in funky old Tremont.
In the abysmal Cleveland economy, nothing is safe: a couple of years ago, thieves stole portions of the green copper that covers the domes, apparently to sell as scrap. Thankfully, they've been repaired.The magic point-and-shoot again, the always reliable and surprising Canon AF35ML with the f:1.9 lens.
