I was 18 in 1953 and I remember trips from Chardon, OH to the big city of Cleveland for shopping and ball games! Loved the Browns and the Indians. Had my uncle's season tickets for the Browns games! Remember wrapping up in multiple layers of clothes because of the winds off the lake!
I lived in Cleveland 50.60.and left in the 70...my father owned a record shop on the corner of Bridge and Fulton ...it was a different time. .I grew up right. ..
Used to go to The Theatrical with my (not yet) wife for after dinner drinks in the 70's. It was a bit mobbed up then. LOL. Nice place to go if you wanted to impress your girl.
Cleveland browns. That's when we were going through some good times back in the day when you could live your door open family was family still hade racesom but we made it work now we must pray for the hold world
I recall it was mandatory desegregation in CPS and then forced bussing to desegregate what was a 70/30 percent. How can you desegregate a district that is 70% leaning to one side? you can't is the answer as they soon found out
Thanks for this! I lived through this time! I saw JFK in person. And there were awful tenements. Rapid Transit was wonderful. I lived on the east side though and saw its destruction through integration. Sorry if it's not PC correct, but that's what happened. Steel companies started failing because of these regulations. Rocky Calavito was cute!
big frank , that is the elephant in the room , I grew up near Benedictine high school in the fifties and sixties , moved out in 1978, we did not want to leave …… but
if there is so many people out of work in the inner city shouldn't it be the cleanest place on Earth also since nobody is working shouldn't there be lots of witnessed to crime well
well Big Frank, one would think that one should take care of their residence and clean up the garbage they like to just dump wherever and also report crimes they observe.. not so as they just pay it no mind = fact
I AM 80 ,6/9/2023..remember all of this like yesterday …!!!!

More stories please.
Awesome
I like how they play 70's disco music for the opening of "The 60's Remembered"! How quaint.
Watching the sixties being remembered, in the 1990s, in 2019.
2022 here.
Thanks for posting this. Fascinating history.
I arrived in Cleveland, May 1959. Well!!! First place I lived was at E. 47th Street off of St. Clair Avenue.
I always wanted to know how was that area during that time if you care to share?
I grew up in that neighborhood in the 1990’s and it was great a huge melting pot to me.

Cleveland was booming during the 60’s.
not now....
@@clemclemson9259 there are a thousand cities that boomed in the 60’ and are as busted as Cleveland is today.

I was one of those who remember Cleveland Public Schools going on strike in the late 1970s RTA Went on strike too

How do integration regulations lead to steel companies failing?
Wish you could do one of the 70s!!
Now they can make a show ‘Cleveland in the 90’s’! 😅
