Lower Mall Contest Winner

 The winner of the first television set to be given away as a prize in Cleveland. Not sure of the wisdom in this, although there was only one station on the air at the time, and it didn't start it's broadcast day until late afternoon.

From Boxoffice, May 22, 1948. I assume Mrs. Agnes Myers' trips to the Lower Mall became fewer once she had her telly set up.

Thoreau Place

 New townhouses with a great view of the NKP under construction. Too bad they won't be done in time for UP 4014's passage next month. These would be great railfan homes, only $480,000 quite the bargain.

Blue Cafe

 We stopped by the Blue Cafe, 15715 Madison Avenue the other day, as always a cool spot!

Pennsylvania Railroad

 Ad from the back cover of Trains, April 1946, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
