REMEMBER THOSE DAYS OF YESTERDAY....A LONG TIME AGO...........
I've always tried to stay young at heart by remembering fun things from
my past. Here are just a few of them.
First up is a small amusement park located east
of Cleveland that closed it's doors in 1969. Popcorn Balls and the best custard ice cream!
EUCLID
BEACH PARK was an old school amusement park that had many great rides,
one big wooden roller coaster; Thriller, Flying Turns, Racing Coasters, and this...
The
ROCKET CAR!
Euclid Beach was also the home of this creepy thing...
"LAUGHING SAL" was a mechanical fat lady that was placed at
the entrance of the fun house. The old hags spooky looks along with her
loud, hysterical, and non-stop laughing traumatized many a young
soul...Including mine!
Geauga Lake Park, 1888-2007 
Had the world's best salt water taffy!
Since the 1980's Cleveland has had it's very own DAWG
POUND. I worked for MBNA signing up fans for credit cards during 1999 season. We had a blast!
And these are just a few of the characters that occupy it!
Browns fans, do you remember this...
It's JOE " TURKEY " JONES and his legendary
pile-drive sack of Steelers HOF Quarterback Terry Bradshaw
on 10/10/76. I do believe the NFL implemented a few QB protection
rules because of that hit. To Bradshaw's credit, he overcame the hit
and was able to continue playing.
The old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Cleveland rocked the 70's with the Buzzard . WNCR first Clev. FM Rock and Roll station with Billy Bass. Alan Freed started it all, Rock on!
And the MICHAEL STANLEY BAND. I used to watch Danny Powers play guitar in his garage in Broadview Heights.
Cleveland ROCKS! Remember the Outsiders, Rasberries, Dragonwick, and Glass Harp!
Speaking of the 70's! Cavalier fans, do you remember this guy?
It's BOBBY "BINGO" SMITH!
Cleveland area children of the 50's, 60's, and 70's had the pleasure of
watching these kiddie show hosts on local television.
From left to right it's FRANZ THE TOY MAKER, WOODROW THE WOODSMAN,
BARNABY, and CAPTAIN PENNY!
And during the Holiday Season we had the pleasure of being
entertained by this guy.
It's MR. JING-A-LING! The offical keeper of Santa's keys..
"Mr. Jing-a-Ling, how's your
ting-a-ling...Keeeper of the keeeys...On Halle 's 7th floor...We'll be
looking for...You to tuuurn the keeeys.
Keeping track of Santa's
pack and treasure house of toooys...Wind up things that Santa
brings...To aalll the little girls and boys." - Bonus
Sing-A-Long!
Does anyone remember the Cleveland Crusaders of the
WHA?
And that HOF Golie GERRY CHEEVERS was their net minder for a
few years in the mid-70's? And our Barons!
Cleveland was the home of many great local television Horror Hosts
beginning with this cool cat in the 60's!
Yes, it's the legendary GOULARDI ... a.k.a. Ernie Anderson Turn Blue, K-nif
In the 70's these guys took over fright night.
HOULIHAN and BIG CHUCK were the best. The horror movie was always
secondary to the duo's clever and often corny slap-stick type skits,
but when Houlihan left Cleveland for Hollywood the
show down-sized a bit and became...
The BIG CHUCK and LIL' JOHN Show.
In my mind the Houlihan and Big Chuck show created the competitive
eating craze with their weekly and often gross Pizza eating contest
which featured this champion.
"MUSHMOUTH" MARIANO PACETTI...Now that dude could pound down
some Pizza!
"Mushmouth" was idolized by this
lengendary Cleveland area Competitive Eater.
Yep, it's the one and only COONDOG O'KARMA! Coondog holds the
hard-boiled egg eating record. That's right...He is the egg-sucking
champion! Clevelanders are proud to call this guy their own!!!
Chief Wahoo, R.I.P.
And finally, I can't forget about the Cleveland Indians of
the 60's, 70's, and 80's. They were our loveable losers and this guy
holds a special place in all of our hearts.
1980 Rookie of the Year and one year wonder "SUPER" JOE
CHARBONEAU.
Created 1938 in Cleveland, lifetime of fighting crime, Superman
Two of America's Biggest Stars call Cleveland home. 
Bob Hope and Paul Newman.
And let's not forget Drew Carey, Martin Mull, Fred Willard, and Father Quido Sarducci!
Sailors and Soldiers Monument
