IC's Whirlwind Tour of the American Midwest

[ironchapman]

Recently, I took a trip to Mammoth Cave, Mom's hometown of Stanton (KY), Cincinnati, Canton, Cleveland, and Chicago.

Here is the first part of my photo series:

Mammoth Cave

Cave Formations

Winchester and Stanton, Kentucky

County Courthouse in Winchester

Street Corner in Winchester

First Baptist of Stanton, Kentucky's Sanctuary (My Mom's Father Used to Preach Here)

That's me looking out from the balcony!

Supposedly My Mom's Childhood Home

Cincinnati From Newport, Kentucky

Perhaps the best photos of the trip.

Cincinnati at Sunset

Cincinnati at Night

Canton, Ohio/Pro Football Hall of Fame

My Dad and Me By the Sign

The Hall of Fame Exterior

Red Grange

He used to live across the street from my grandmother and grandfather in Florida!

Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The Key Tower

Streets of Cleveland

Rock and Roll Historical Marker

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Sadly, due to contractual agreements with the inductees, no photos are allowed of the actual exhibits.

That's it for now. I'll post my Chicago pics and some other pictures of cities we passed through later. What do you think of these?

Cool photos, IC! All places to which I've been. Some have changed a little. Some haven't changed at all. It's nice to see things from an up-to-date view though :-) Can't wait to take my kids back to Cleveland and the Rock some day!

Looking forward to your Chi-Town pics.

Thanks for the photos. Cleveland has done a great job with the waterfront. I really enjoyed visiting there several years ago...

Regarding the football HOF... While distinctive, I get a chuckle each time I see it. It's a pretty silly looking building in so many ways...

Awesome pictures! Thanks for posting. I like the nighttime pics of Cincinnati the most.

The Football Hall of Fame looks like a gigantic orange juicer, but I take it you were talking about the Rock and Roll one.

Nope, I was talking about the Football one...
