Battery Park

 this foto 17 August 2012

Across from the west shoreway, and separated from Edgewater Beach and Lake Erie is Battery Park. The smoke stack is from a former factory that made batteries. Recently, and still going up are expensive condominium apartments, a little park, and a saloon that has changed owners and names. Closer to Detroit Road are the remaining older stock of working class homes, and the parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel--West.

Near by i have posted the statues of John Kilbane [click], here on the outside of a saloon and brew house, a painting of the featherweight champion (1912-23) has gone up.

Along Detroit, and Lorain, a few of these 'Banksy' style silhouettes have been created. These two are by the Kilbane mural.
