From October of 1991, here is "The 60s Remembered," an excellent documentary about the turbulent 1960s, going year by year, focusing on events that took place in Cleveland, Ohio. Taped from WVIZ (PBS), Ch. 25, Cleveland. This is part 1.
Used to go to The Theatrical with my (not yet) wife for after dinner drinks in the 70's. It was a bit mobbed up then. LOL. Nice place to go if you wanted to impress your girl.
Thanks for this! I lived through this time! I saw JFK in person. And there were awful tenements. Rapid Transit was wonderful. I lived on the east side though and saw its destruction through integration. Sorry if it's not PC correct, but that's what happened. Steel companies started failing because of these regulations. Rocky Calavito was cute!
I lived in Cleveland 50.60.and left in the 70...my father owned a record shop on the corner of Bridge and Fulton ...it was a different time. .I grew up right. ..
Cleveland browns. That's when we were going through some good times back in the day when you could live your door open family was family still hade racesom but we made it work now we must pray for the hold world
I was 18 in 1953 and I remember trips from Chardon, OH to the big city of Cleveland for shopping and ball games! Loved the Browns and the Indians. Had my uncle's season tickets for the Browns games! Remember wrapping up in multiple layers of clothes because of the winds off the lake!
if there is so many people out of work in the inner city shouldn't it be the cleanest place on Earth also since nobody is working shouldn't there be lots of witnessed to crime well
well Big Frank, one would think that one should take care of their residence and clean up the garbage they like to just dump wherever and also report crimes they observe.. not so as they just pay it no mind = fact
I recall it was mandatory desegregation in CPS and then forced bussing to desegregate what was a 70/30 percent. How can you desegregate a district that is 70% leaning to one side? you can't is the answer as they soon found out
big frank , that is the elephant in the room , I grew up near Benedictine high school in the fifties and sixties , moved out in 1978, we did not want to leave …… but
