St. Michael School

 St. Michael School, 2202 Prame Avenue, at Scranton Road. The school constructed in 1906-07 housed both an elementary school and a high school. The high school, on the forth floor, became part of Cleveland Central Catholic in 1968. The elementary school closed in 1988, with the high school leaving a few years later. The school is currently being renovated into apartments after having been closed for a number of years.

Frostville Farmers Market

 We were at the Frostville Farmers’ Market, 24101 Cedar Point Rd, North Olmsted, a couple weeks ago, a fun way to spend a couple  hours, even if you don't buy anything.

St. Michael Church

 St. Michael Church, 3114 Scranton Road, last Saturday morning. The parish was established in 1881, with the present church building dedicated on November 20, 1892.

The head of the St. Michael statute that was once on the pedestal above the front entrance, between the spires. The statue fell onto the front steps one morning in the mid-late 1960's.

Bearden's Steakburgers

 We stopped by Bearden's, 19985 Lake Road, a couple weeks ago. We haven't been here in about thirty years, it's a lot more modern inside, almost fast-foody. No waitresses as in the days of yore, instead, ordering is done off a touch screen. The food is excellent, but the ordering is a bit off-putting, especially if you're an older person.

An old menu on display.
