Cleveland Memories - And Then We Ate

[@anthonyhanna9914]

Miss those days so very much

[@christopherwall444]

Suburban malls and fast food proliferation was the end of charm and character..in Cleveland and in many other cities as well.

[@travispearson2370]

I definitely want to thank the people who put this good memory together Cleveland food and bakery I remember so much thank you for the Memories much love to my hometown city of Cleveland Ohio may God bless Cleveland in my home State Ohio

[@terryallan283]

Brings back SO many memories..I Loved Cleveland in the late 50s,early 60s.

[@barbarabelt701]

I laughed and laughed at city chicken. My mother made it a lot. Tried to tell people and I was stared at like I was crazy. 20:35

[@rwnagel]

I remember back in the 50’s Mrs. Zingale would bring over spaghetti sauce when she made it for herself. She finally gave mom the recipe when we were going to move to Indiana. I still eat her sauce every week. I have never been served better anywhere. Thank you Mrs. Z.

[@deluxereverb8946]

Manners Big Boy is still there on Brookpark Rd. When I'm in Cleveland it's one of my stops...

[@rwnagel]

In the 50’s Hlinka’s bakery in Parma had the best bread. They made Crinkle bread. It was round and the best. My brother went to get a loaf one day and only half made it home.

[@1tmagda]

Helen Hutchley's and blue moon ice cream and Millers Diner and sticky buns.....what I'd give to go back in time.

[@noreenmacuga1866]

I had the privilege of working at Stouffers on public square! Loved it😍

[@candysmith8724]

I remember Lawsons! Also, we went to Manners Big Boy all the time in the 70's on Rt 303 in Brunswick. Moved to Texas and never been to one since. But on a trip to visit Ohio, I bought a Big Boy bank for memorabilia.😁

[@marcelinasouthall3398]

Yes Sirrrrrrr I remember daddy would take us out for a ride on Sundays and we would go to Manners Big Boy , I also remember the milk man bringing milk in the glass bottles and it was ice cold and the butter soooooooo sweet😁

[@RH-cp6xw]

My Mom and Aunts worked at Boukairs. I can remember going there. The owners were nice people.

[@mariedean3043]

The milkman’s chocolate milk in glass quart bottles was the absolute best!!!

[@WilliamHallbrook]

I would have loved to have lived during this time. Life was so simple.

[@karolinesmail489]

Charles chips Lawson s chip dip n little tomsHEAVEN! miss those days!

[@bret9741]

I grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch in the 70’s. We worked incredibly hard. I remember nights when I could sleep, and the times I did sleep I would have recurring night mares. Had a swollen and body near exhaustion sometimes weeks on end. But the hardest job was my Moms. It was her job to keep the laundry clean, repaired and ready for use for as long as it could be repaired. In addition she would cook all day, from 6 am to 9 pm someone would need to be fed and we burned a lot of calories. Steak, eggs gravy for breakfast. Lunch was often a casserole or stew. Dinner would be anything from burgers to full Turkey, chicken or Italian dinner. In addition there was always cookies, cakes and pies freshly out of the oven. My dad would leave either me or my sister at home to help on days when mom had to feed larger crews of ranchers during shipping, shearing or marking and branding seasons. No one wanted to stay home and work with Mom. No it wasn’t as physically tiring but by the end of the day, you were work out. Cooking, cleaning and house work just has a way of wearing one down.

[@DanKirchner5150]

mom took me to capt franks after getting stitches from some altercation at memorial elementary school ,winter really made it mars-like out there on that dock lol thanks mom !

[@jimc4731]

What about JIM'S STEAK HOUSE, did I miss the mention? JIM 🤔

[@CuteCatFaith]

Uprated, subbed. I remember the farmer's market in East Cleveland, where I grew up. I was born in Cleveland in '57. Good food and music! It was just impossible to stay, no future there -- left in '75, moved to NYC, now am in Paris, France where quality of life and good food are so important, still, there are still local farms and vendors, people still make time for food and want quality, organic, no GMOs. My best to you.

[@KingCast65]

I remember E.C. Farmer's market too! We lived on Yellowstone and would drive down to it on weekends :)

[@unionrdr]

I grew up with all these things...even kenny kings original original recipe. All swept away,in the misty sands of time. charles chips with Lawson's chip dip. And all the seperate shops for meat,baked goods.etc. And the milk man. The retauraunts. The people that made it what it was. First shaved ice in the milk truck,then frozen chunks of co2. All the different stores for meats,baked goods,everything from mom & pop stores. I grew up with mom taking me with her while pop was at work. She even took me to Halley's to see Mr jingaling in the late 50's. They live now,only in my memories.

[@dale19532]

You can still get Charles Chips on line, and once in a blue moon, Krogers will feature them, even in the cans! Like Grandma before me, I use the cans for flour, sugar, etc.!

[@saltressX]

I wanna move to Cleveland after seeing this 🤗❤️👍 🍽🍝🥘🥖🥪🍔🌭🥨🎂🍰🧁🍦🥧🍩🍪🍬🍭🍮🍨

[@clemclemson9259]

no you dont....

[@msnell326]

My first job was at Lawson's in Lakewood . I remember slicing bologna and chopped ham.

[@deluxereverb8946]

Lawson's on Stumph was the one we walked to with our Mom. They had the best chip dip...

[@jacksid13]

Great

[@dale19532]

We had an "egg lady" who would pull up in a station wagon and deliver fresh eggs! Also, there was the Producer's milk man, who used to be able to leave the dairy order in the milk chute so prevalent in the 50's, but by the time we'd grown as a family, the milk chute became a storage space for gardening tools, and the milk etc. was left outside the side door!

[@WilliamHallbrook]

My aunts house had a box under the window. It would slide into the house. She said it was for milk delivery. Pretty amazing.

[@PerpetualArt]

I have one too. They are called milkchute's....

[@joypopoola6115]

And that's why we have the expression "the milkman's baby!" 😂

[@geographicoddity9444]

I can remember the rooster waking us each morning when we lived in the country. After we moved to town, the milkman became our rooster. The clinking of the bottles was something we heard every morning. My mother and our neighbors would place the empty bottles outside the door the night before, and the next morning they’d be replaced. My father would come to the breakfast table after picking up the newspaper off the front porch. Those were the days.

[@timy.4818]

Our neighbor's from the family of Hough Bakery. His last name is Moody.

[@nikijainewkirk9517]

You forgot about Rathskeller Restaurant on East 4th street. It was there from 1892 to 2000. You also forgot Puritas Springs Park. And my most favorite drive in was Dineys on 117th Trisket. That was the place to be seen in you souped up car.

[@pgtmr2713]

I try to frequent local places over chains. I remember when Heinen's at Cedar and Green used to look like that, and Lawson's. Walking to the store with my grandfather. That corner store closed for decades and sat there. When I cook, it's not "healthy," but it will taste great ;-) Real ingredients.

[@kimr.2284]

Heinen's is still there if I'm not mistaken!😊

[@msnell326]

We lived in Rocky River and whenever someone went to the dentist in Lakewood they had to stop at Elmwood bakery and get pecan rolls.

[@carltonroberts4265]

Did the air planes fly right above the houses back then too?

[@msnell326]

Yes, I remember the airplanes flying over our houses. I live in Arizona now, in the Phoenix area and we have planes from the Airforce base flying over. Can't get away from it.

[@ohioguy215]

Yes, those pecan rolls definitely sent you to the dentist.

[@peterkantor4247]

Cleveland restaurant business today is a cheap chicken wings, hamburger and pitcher beer.

[@StukInBuf]

If you still have some Italian, Polish, and/or Greek diners still nearby(local-made, not chains), then those qualities likely still exist.

[@brooklynbummer]

Producers milk delivery. Forgetting the house key and climbing through the milk chute.

[@msnell326]

I did that once at my neighbors house. She locked herself out. I was the smallest kid so went through the milk chute to open the door.

[@gailviancourt6425]

Yep way to get in without a key

[@fokiat]

up until the early 90's we still had a milkman delivering to us in parma just next to cleveland

[@lindamarie3364]

Thank you :)

[@unionrdr]

He might've wrote it at luigie's,but montone's was up across from Ford in Brookpark. Good stuff.

[@shopsshire9282]

Circle K Convenient stores still carry Lawsons French Onion chip dip at least in Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. And a little Austrian Chalet in Rocky River Ohio is no longer there it was torn down .

[@thelastremainingmoderate1997]

Circle K grew out of Dairy Mart, which had bought Lawson's. So it's kind of a third generation.

[@beefdog]

People going into unlocked houses and going into strangers' cars without being molested or killed? Thing of the past. Things were way different back then. The world is going to crap these days lol.

[@tommyd.743]

Bedford Manners the after party hangout in the late 60's early 70's. Followed by A&W's on Broadway.

[@gteplymouthpontiac6425]

I caught the tail end of of how Cleveland used to be what a shame

[@janicemccowan4369]

Straining to hear.

[@barbarabelt701]

Learned to eat grits and cheap bigger from a West Virginia friend wI never heard of. 2:12

[@thomasmiller7398]

Does anybody know the name of the person narrating this documentary

[@이필립-e2o]

My son live in cleveland OH.

[@KingCast65]

This is really pulling the heart strings! What I want to see is the damn Cleveland Heights Cushman garbage trucks. Three wheelers. Crash and burn, hung over drivers, inherently dangerous design, lawyers.... my friend's Dad actually was City Attorney (Barclay) when HCC sued Hilltop Realty.

[@patriciaaltzner4132]

I have photos taken at Alpine Village circa 1940s

[@ardivachambers6927]

Nice pics but volume is very low.

[@dariowiter3078]

The audio on this video is hideous. Please fix it! 😐

[@gteplymouthpontiac6425]

You can barely hear this volume is so low I'm straining to hear

[@JB-pe2yn]

Yum.... city chicken!

[@msnell326]

I live in Arizona now and people here have not heard of city chicken, only a couple people I met who were from Cleveland.

[@msnell326]

Remember the blue laws. Grocery stores were closed on Sundays.

[@ortydog]

Circle -k sells lawsons chip dip😀

[@karolinesmail489]

Yes! Love it it's the best!!!

[@marydreiman7715]

Found a easy recipe......sour cream and hidden valley ranch (dry) mixed together. It’s cheaper and pretty good. I always got Lawsons Chip Dip before this.

[@johnbailey2024]

I’m surprised they forgot dimitries on w110th and Lorain, you could go there after the bars closed and have a great time, have a really bad breakfast , absorb all the cultural diversity the west side had to offer, and it’s a guarantee that at least 2 or 3 fights would break out,, but it was the most popular place for many years.

[@msnell326]

Anyone else come across this video while searching for Goulardi?

[@msnell326]

Ghoulardi

[@georgemartin1436]

Shafts Grocery just closed permanently due to the pandemic.

[@shopsshire9282]

[@msdivaleeeshus]

Unfortunately, black people did not get to take advantage of these luxuries ...we were not allowed to dine or shop in most of these places, although looking at the nostalgia is a wholesome feeling for some but not for the African American...more of a nightmare... let us be clear!!

[@HomerSimpson514]

Point is well taken but we can't fix the past only build the future. And we must do it together or them will be the good old days even for black Americans. We are at the threshold of pure chaos im.strong enough are you? All American or nothing

[@pam-ewilliams57]

You know i was thinking the same thing, blacks had a different reality, Jim Crow days.we couldn't go in Little Italy for fear of having our car stoned. But it very dandy that some felt so safe. Love some of the restaurants though.

[@jacksid13]

Arts seafood restaurant on Cedar should have been in this story and Roy Rials donuts on Carnegie would have been nice 👍🏾
