Does anyone remember the "hobo" lunch from Higbees your meal was wrapped in a red bandana attached to a stick. Like a runaway. Or is this a figment of my imagination

Does anyone remember the "hobo" lunch at Higbees. Your hamburger and fires would be wrapped in a red bandana attached to a long stick. Also I haven't seen any mentions about the Forum Cafeteria that was located on east 9th street where Medical Mutual of Ohio is now located. I remember going there with my parents on Sunday Holidays Like Easter. I loved the Hamburgers there also. What about Beef Coral? By the way can anyone tell me what the name of a sit down restarant on Chagrin between Avalon and Lee Road was? Was it Red Rooster Was it on the second level? Shaker Lee movies, Cassablanca Bar , Shaker Ford (my father worked there).

i am so facinated with the july 4 1969 derecho! my girlfriend Debbie Holt was only 14 yo when it struck Lakewood Park at precisely 755 pm. She said the sky got pitch black then a dirty yellow orange color with winds topping 100mph!!! A derecho it was. Lakewood was destroyed (the trees, some 5,000 of them). My Ohio license plates on my black Trans Am read "july 4 69" on them!!! Why? The people of Lakewood were so mean to me when I was growing up (ESPECIALLY the girls) that i never forgave the citizens of Lakewood for it. My opinion is that storm gave Lakewoodites what they had coming to them!!!! Anything u want 2 know about that storm just ask me i know more about it than those who went through it because i've spent my entire 33 years of my life researching that truly extrordinary event.
