I forgot to mention to you...Texaco Gas Stations are still down here in Texas. Although, many changed their name to Chevron for some reason??... But, there are still lots of Texaco Stations.

... and how about Liberty Boulevard, probably the most beautiful street in Cleveland... I appreciate and respect Dr. Martin Luther King and, absolutely believe we should have such a major street named after him... But Liberty Blvd. was a great, classic Cleveland street name.

^^^ Whisky Island, Edgewater Park, the Agora and Euclid beach... GOOD ONES!

I came upon these posts just by accident. I grew up in Cleveland in the 1970's and remember all these things.

Also, does anyone remember:
Tops (Topps? -- Sort of like Walmart)
Franz the Toymaker
Woodrow the Woodsmith
Captain Penny "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time.....but you can't fool mom"
Miss Barbara from Romper Room
Jan Jones with Fred Griffith on The Morning Exchange

I always waited for Miss Barbara to see me through her magic mirror. But, she never did...

Romper Stomper Bomber Boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me do. Magic mirror, tell me today. Did all of my friends have fun today? (I think this is how it went...)

I never heard..."I see Trisha..."

Last night they had a repeat show on...I grew up with that show. It is sad to see them go. It was something fun to do on a Friday night as a kid when you could stay up late because it was a Friday night....lol

Any remember the big storm on July 4, 1969? I was only 7, but I think it traumatized me for life! I did some Googling and found the following page. I've never even heard of a derecho!
