From Cleveland to Cincinnati with a mid-90's automatic camera.

In the search for a decent film point-and-shoot to use, I ran tests with a
Canon AF35MII in addition to an Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170. Like a lot of my other film cameras, I got this one from my grandfather and remember him using it at a ton of family functions and gatherings.
 |
| - Via Olympus. |
From what I can tell, this camera debuted sometime in the mid 90's and it has a decent following in film culture. I loaded it with Kodak Ultramax 400. Overall, it worked ok. I think I prefer
the Canon, though.

 |
| - Beachwood. |
Left Cleveland and went East to Beachwood and Bedford.

The mid-century modern building seen above and below was a former donut shop and seafood place at various points before sitting idle.

| - Bedford. |
Down in Cuyahoga Falls, I swung by another modern architecture structure, this civic parking garage:
 |
| - Cuyahoga Falls. |
 |
| - Cuyahoga Falls. |
Its design and aesthetic look very similar to
Cincinnati's downtown arena.

| - Cuyahoga Falls. |
I found both structures via
roadsidearchitecture.com.

In Akron, while photographing a bridge, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad pulled up and disembarked passengers.
P.S. How is there not commuter rail between Cleveland and Akron?

The Rubber City also had interesting things on its walls…
 |
| - Luigi's pizza restaurant, Akron. |
 |
| - Mural, Akron. |
 |
| - Fake dart board, Akron. |
…and before the light ran out, I swung by a set of hillside steps built by the Works Project Association during the Depression:
 |
| - Glendale Steps, Akron. |
All before visiting the abandoned Innerbelt highway:
The Innerbelt was covered in more detail, here.
The rest of the drive home was filled with public radio podcasts in the dark before Jeffersonville where I finished off the roll of film, got gas...
 |
| - Jeffersonville. |
...and had dinner + dessert:

| - Dinner, Jeffersonville. |
