My Neighborhood: Schiller (Part 3 of 4)

After crossing High, I set out

on my next leg of the afternoon

sojourn. My goal: Schiller Park...

-------------------

Below is an example of the

architecture in and around

German Village.

I've probably mentioned this

in earlier posts, but almost all

of German Village and the

Brewery District have brick

streets. I wonder how many

million bricks this little

area of the world boasts?

Imagine my joy when I discovered
my favorite ornamental tree in
abundance here. Most of the
dogwoods in TN and MS
blossomed in early March.
As you can see, the ones in OH
still are between bud and
bloom stages...



I thought I wouldn't forget the

name of this building, but...


Ah-ha! Schiller Park!
Below was my first view of
the lovely park. I was on its
southern border looking
toward Downtown.


---------------------

You can see the back of
the amphitheatre in the distance.


A fishing pond...being well utilized...



See the ducks?

Here is the park's namesake.

I suppose he was the first

German in the area...

A playground for the children...

My only regret of this set of shots

is that I didn't take enough

photos of the gorgeous,

well-maintained homes

surrounding the park.

----------------------

Other than a few rundown

abodes, all homes around

the park were incredibly

beautiful with unique

designs that made each

one fascinating to behold.

I hate that the "rain" wasn't

falling on this metal maiden...

This is the northern entrance

to the park. Looking north,

I can see the downtown

skyscrapers in the

distance...Steps from

the park but a century away...
