Thanksgiving, most of the city's streets and sidewalks are with little or no traffic. So many of Cleveland's turkey days are in dismal, grey weather. To-day was such, but at 50°F. Driving downtown, idiots were running their own turkey trot races oblivious, or contemptuous of car traffic and stoplights. Coronavirus stopped an organised affair with police shutting off traffic, and protecting runners; instead they could run anywhere. There were police about the traffic at St. Augustine's food give away.
Some of the overcast gray light really made for bad photographs. Certain things did not, or could not be pictured well. A woman was walking her big dog downtown, who was wearing a turkey costume. Around St. Augustine it was an almost colorless tableau other than car lights, it was a long line. People were waiting to deliver meals to the home bound.
Two of four of the granite eagles that were part of the demolished Chamber of Commerce building on Public Square, are now at the entrance of the old Post Office building.

trompe-l'œil, Euclid Avenue downtown, which viewed from the street appears as several faded streaks.
Recently, Woodland Cemetery has finished work on the rebuilt entrance. For years, original stones were in a mound in the interior of the cemetery. Some pieces were stolen by landscapers. Cleveland's Erie Street, and Monroe Street have similar entrances. Because of the coronavirus estrangement, no grand public reveal has been done. Perhaps next year for Memorial Day?

Chinese Cultural Garden is across the Art Museum. It has a platform reached by steps. Cassius enjoys it.

Unclear if photos were by Stan on a camera-clicking outing. But a good way to utilize a barren metropolitan afternoon.
