Downtown Cincinnati’s more-than-ample parking lots did a lot of damage to our downtown. Back when decisions were made to tear down large swaths of old buildings to make way for parking lots, city leaders could not see past their steering wheels. Looking on the bright side, I suppose, is the chance to get shots like this (along with a little camera trickery), a view of the evening sky near Eighth & Sycamore streets, with clouds rolling in.
Predictable comment from me: Such decisions should never be in politicians’ grubby hands in the first place.
It has always bothered me why we have so many surface parking lots in the downtown core. That really strikes me as super odd.
