A little known gem to anyone who went to any of the high schools in Euclid. The Euclid Schools Museum is the result of many dedicated alumni who believe our collective history is to be preserved and treasured. It is located at Shore Cultural Center (the former high school & jr. high.)

And here is another reason that Euclid girls were the prettiest girls in the world. But I better stop here, or I'll need to give equal time for Forest Park and Central !

Although not a clear picture, these are some of the artifacts found when the lockers were removed to make way for the school museum display. The "Turn On" magnet is obviously from the late 60's or early 1970's.

At 3:30 PM on March 17th, the last landmark symbol of Euclid's manufacturing past was demolished to make way for a new 21st century industrial park. Rather than blast, the contractor cut the legs of the structure with a torch and then split it like a wishbone with the help of a few construction diggers.

Just a subtle reminder that better weather is somewhere down the road. 

This photo was taken at the Briardale Greens Golf Course. For many, this was the location of the Community Project Housing that was torn down in the early 1970's.  

And if they could see sunsets like these on a regular basis, then they definitely had an advantage over the rest of us.

There are many people who just whine and complain about how bad things get, and they just don't try to change things.

Here, you have to give credit to the new Euclid Square Mall owner as they are trying to revive the mall and the local economy with something different. While others abandon us, they are sticking it out here and are trying to improve the situation. Bravo!

Springtime has arrived...or at least Easter has with the annual decoration of Jellybeanville. This home has been celebrating Easter Sunday with a chance for children to visit with the Easter Bunny for over 20 years.

Some days, no matter  how well you plan....

On this day, someone must have organized a "Let's pretend to be like a New York or LA commute day!"
