Other things only a Clevelander would know/appreciate (Parma, Lorain: house, weddings)

Driving north on I-271 still doesn't look right without the Coliseum at the top of the hill. Wasn't it supposed to be a nature preserve? Did that ever happen?

I forgot about the "certain ethnic" jokes. What a riot.

If you have Sirius radio, you can catch Kid Leo afternoons from 4 to 7. The other day he played "Friday On My Mind" and I almost hyperventilated.

The Coliseum is just an empty field now. Nothing has ever been done there (which considering how rural Richfield and Peninsula are, it's just as well)...but since there are no trees there now, a small park would be nice.

It's weird to think how many good times i had on that site growing up.

OH my God I thought about Mr.Hero the other day.....were living down here in "Bama" for hubby's job and there are alot of things we miss!!
No professional sports down here, you better root for Alabama or Auburn or your in trouble haha. I still remember the Garfield 1 23 23 jingle as well. How about wmms the buzzard morning zoo and "stosh", Ed "flash" Ferrance, etc.???
Missin' Ohio down here, good day all!

I remember Kenny Kings, and it wasn't just a Mentor thing. There was one at the Pearl-Ridge intersection in Parma. I was a kid when it closed, but I do remember the wooden nickels that we used to get for a prize from the chest or for ice cream. To this day, I go past that intersection and remember the days of Kenny Kings.

I remember Kenny kings as well, anyone out there remember Arthur Treachers????

I love Arthur Treachers. As of my last visit to Ohio, there are still two left - one in the food court at the Great Lakes Mall, and one on Lakeshore Blvd. in Euclid. On another note, does anyone remember York Steak House? I loved that place, at least when I was a kid (I know that nothing ever tastes as good as you remember).

i dated barnaby's great-neice.

let's not forget other local tv greats - ghoulardi, the mad ghoul, the current guy (son of ghoul)...
