Description The Gateway Parking Garage is so pretty at night.

I get some weird looks when I tote my tripod out, but not as many as you'd imagine.

It's part of the Gateway, on OSU's southern edge.

It's pretty cool in person. Not bad for a parking garage.

Nice image.

I understand the weird looks. I've had police cars stop and ask me if I'm ok when I'm parked at the side of the road at 2.00 in the morning. I explain that I'd doing a night photography project and they always look a bit bemused.

Thank you

The police this night were convinced I worked for the school paper. They couldn't understand I was just out for fun.

Welcome
I usually get asked if I've broken down, but I'm usually in out of the way places.

I was out last night at a viewpoint that's also a local pick-up point and the police were there asking drivers why they were there.
They asked me, I explained that I was taking photo's and that was it. They lost just interest.

They did a great job of making it look nice. The elevators are even lit at night with changing neon colors.

There is a lot of interesting architecture around here, mostly because it's such a large university. But a lot of it is also hideously ugly. Yuck!

I've been meaning to get over there to get some night pics, because it's so pretty at night, but I never feel very safe out late by myself. Not tonight. I counted approximately 750,000 police out tonight. (oh ok, not 750,000, but there had to be at least 100, no kidding).

Read for an interesting take on campus life this weekend: [link]

I am deadly serious. There was a group of police about every 25 feet. No not 1 bazillion, but more than I could count.

"I'm not going to go into the details of our tactics, but I can assure you that those individuals who choose to act inappropriately and be disruptive, all you need to do is look around or look over your shoulder and there will be a Columbus police officer," Brown said.

In other words, 'You'll get shot.' (!!!)

Arrested I think. Midwestern police are not as high strung as those in some bigger cities.

They might run you down with their horse, maybe, or pepper spray you. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

If it's large all you'll need to do is turn on the national news. Sad but true. We are so full of visiting students from other schools; they get drunk and don't think a thing about burning down campus. It's not their campus, why should they care? In 2002 we had horrific riots, but the national news failed to follow up with how most of the people identified were not OSU students, but students from other schools in Ohio, a number of people with no ties to the university and even a handful of Michigan students. Only something like four OSU students were ever identified and suspended for those riots. I'd love to know at what point flipping a car and setting on fire becomes a "good idea".

I know - I've never understood that -- unless it's a cop car -- MAYBE(??????). I think people like to destroy stuff in a crowd. Jesus, for starters.

There's police cars parked down the middle lane of High Street right now. That's at least ten blocks worth of police cars.

We won, by the way. I'll let you know if anything serious happens. But honestly, even the 30,000 who stormed the field acted very calm. They never even made a push for the goal posts. Though some of them took souvenir pieces of sod.

Well, they wouldn't have been able to get the goal posts, because they were greased up nice and good just in case
