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.

The St. Michael statue can be seen in this undated photo from the Cleveland Public Library.

From the Plain Dealer, November 21, 1892.

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.

Out a Window

 Looking out onto Memphis Avenue from from the City Diner last Saturday.

City Diner

 We stopped by the City Diner, 5109 Memphis Avenue, again on Saturday, as always, a great place.

Wonder if they're changing their sign?

Carnegie South Branch

 The Cleveland Public Library's Carnegie South Branch at 3096 Scranton Road, renovated in 2018. This was one of 15 libraries built in Cleveland by Andrew Carnegie and opened in 1911. I often went here when I was much-much younger.
