USS Cleveland LCS 31

 The new USS Cleveland off the coast of Lakewood on Saturday morning. The Cleveland was on it's way from Wisconsin to it's dedication in Cleveland.

Detroit Avenue

 Looking west on Detroit Avenue from the 15300 block, on a bleak day in March.

First Church of Christ Scientist

 The former First Church of Christ Scientist, 15422 Detroit Avenue, currently home to King's Church. It sure was bleak back in March.

WJW Radio

 Ad for WJW with logos for all the big Cleveland department stores.

From Sponsor, October 12, 1964.

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!
