Boy, I sure would love to know where those old homes were located. Do any of them still stand? Have entire streets built up around them? Etc.... Very cool! Thanks!
Lakewood is similar to the East Cleveland of yesteryear. Here's hoping Lakewood never falls apart, because if it does, the Republicans will abandon this city in a heartbeat, just like they did in East Cleveland.
jc smith I worked at Miller's in high school, the sticky buns, OMG. Little did people know was how big Miller's was. Yes, there was a kitchen on the main level of the restaurant which there was a grill cook that prepared anything charbroiled and there was a steam table with 5 people putting the meals together. The main kitchen was in the basement where stood about 10 elderly ladies preparing all of the great comfort foods Miller's was known for. They would make large pots of whatever the items of the day were, put the food into large metal steam table pans and place them on the dumb waiter which sent the hot food to the kitchen upstairs! It was genius because they would run five or six different specials daily and be able to keep up with demand. Their food was pretty good too.
Lakewood has something for everyone, that's what makes the city so great. As I've moved on, I'm thankful to have come from such a dynamic environment. I feel like I can talk to just about anyone. Small minded comments from others don't really bother me and certainly don't have any impact on my view of the great city I grew up in.
@jimvanny she did a song when i was in college that was not realesed...i even mailed her personally and said if your gonna writ3e these songs you shoud have your lable make them availble! I am a bass player and have been for a LONG time..i love her, out of all the woman who came out of 1990 -1996 (the girl music period) she has to be my fav..morrisette, osbourne, noone of them were even in the same sound zone..very good music choice the melody reminds you of time going by..saved to favorites!
@fletchlivves and where do you live talking like that? Are you a homophobe or something? I came here to see a vid on the town i live in and i page down and read this? if lakewood = what you say it does then i guess i can pass judgement on you..lets see you live in parma or east of here..little to no schooling..no passions in life, cant play an instruement..but you can come here and act like city trash? Your wrong about lakewood but right in showing yourself for what you are (homophobe) thanks!
I live in lakewood..ive lived all over cleveland...lakewood is my home though the people here are great...when i think of places like parma and so on...they dont hold a candle to this place...there is a electricity here in the people...i love it here they people are freindly and there is non of that brassy blue collar stuff here...when you come to lakewood from cleveland its like going to another state, its very differnt and safe, closer you get to 117th its all down hill...
The song is Shining On from Julianna Hatfield's album How to Walk Away. It somehow reminds me of home. By the way, I know the person who purchased the house at the corner of Clifton & Nicholson. He is doing an incredible job of restoring this home.
I grow up in Lakewood and so has my family for many many generations who still remain there, I am proud to be from Lakewood.... I miss it.... I now live in LA. As i see how Lakewood has transformed, I know that one day i will come back home to establish another generation in Lakewood.... THanks Jim for sharing these awesome photos :D
