Madison Avenue

 Looking west on Madison Avenue, looking towards Hilliard Boulevard last week.

Grace Presbyterian Church

 Grace Presbyterian Church, 1659 Rosewood Avenue, last week. This view is from the front of the Blue Cafe, looking towards the 15700 block of Hilliard Boulevard.

Bus Stop

 This bus stop, on Lorain Avenue, & West 140th Street, was shot up last week in the middle of the afternoon. After school target practice for Cleveland School students I suppose. Days later, the damage lingers.

Absolute Legends And Collectibles

 We stopped by Absolute Legends And Collectibles, 2007 Carabel Avenue, the other day, neat place with a lot of stuff. This is a bit out of my realm, but it was crowded, so they must be doing something right.

Rebirth of Speakeasies

 Cleveland, always at the cutting edge, this time with a classic, "the cheat spot."

From Variety, August 5, 1942.
