Other things only a Clevelander would know/appreciate (Cincinnati, Toledo: rental, prices)

Don't try to buy the Silver Grille Cookbook at Amazon. They claim its out of print and the bookstores that have it are asking outrageous prices. Instead, google the title, "silver grille cookbook" and you'll get to the publisher's website, a few links down. The publisher's online site still has the book at a reasonable price.

If this doesn't work, I'll check back on this board and come up with some better suggestions. I'll even type out the muffin recipie.

You are correct on both accounts.

I was sorry to see that Mario Fazio has died. Although, to be honest Fazio's pizza hasn't been the same in years. Too bad, it was the best!

There is still an Arthur Treachers on Northfield Rd just south of Northfield Park. Their hush-puppies are second to none!!!

Who can forget the York Steak House? When Euclid Square Mall was thriving, York Steak House was part of it. A friend from high school (Wickliffe 79) worked there. Through him we met a bunch of kids from Euclid.

Too bad to hear the comments on Mario Fazio's pizza. I have a friend from college that grew up on Stark Drive (the restaurant is on the corner). He addressed Mrs. Fazio by name and she was very nice to him. I remember being disappointed when the menu changed, but our family came to enjoy the new one. The crab cakes are excellent. Our kids especially enjoyed the gelato for dessert.

Also next door to Mario Fazio's is the Firehouse. Didn't it used to be Marinko's?

Speaking of Arthur Treachers, isn't there one on Wilson Mills in the plaza across from Richmond Mall?

Nelsons Ledges is also a ton of fun. Have had some good experiences there over the years, both family and otherwise!

Regrettably, our family recently moved to the East coast. While its nice here, don't sell Cleveland short.

If your friend from college grew up on Stark Dr, then he was my neighbor. What was his name?

Do I remember , Me and my family was down at edgewater beach, holding out for the
fireworks , then out of no where the storm started , (did the math ) i was 7 also,
(at least I think me and family where there for the fireworks, )can't think of any other reason we would be there , by the time we got to the car bolts of lighting hit many trees , some being ripped from the ground , my parents holding on to my 2 sisters and brother , and yelling at me to get in the car,looking over the lake , was great to me.

But me and my dad took the greyhound down to Columbus to the Ohio State Fair

after getting of the bus in Columbus , was ( why are all these people talking like "hillbillys" ) Dad said hush young man ! Ohio has it's own mason dixon line then and now, no matter, just a fact , P.S I Did a net search for somthing and OMG , found on
Utube video from the ohio state fair , when the osmonds where there , I got to down load my brain , so my childhood stays forever on the net , later people

I used to hang out with a lot of people that lived in the Projects on Southside of Cleveland down at the end of Starkweather. Does anyone remember the Lincoln Bath House across from Lincoln Park. I used to belong to a club that met at the Bath house. The name of the club was "The Delmonigo's" yes we had pink and black jackets. Wow does bring back some old memories.
