Here's one of the things that drives me insane as an amateur photographer-- electric, cable, and phone wires. There are so many spectacular buildings out there, but it's tough to get a good and clear shot because wires are in the way.
I've attempted (key word: attempted) to be creative, to work around the wires, by just shooting the towers, clocks, domes, and steeples. Sometimes, it works. I've spared you from seeing the times when it doesn't work.
I've become a little better at smudging the wires out of photos, but my editing skills still need some work.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop by Olyphant and get a good look for yourself. Walk around town. Look at the river and the historic old buildings. Have a pizza or a sandwich. You won't be sorry.
