I grew up in Cleveland heights in the 80’s! It was such a great place to grow up!! I had all different races of friends and Coventry was sooooo nice as a child!
I was a teenager there in the 70's and was always at the mall after school and
on the weekends in the game room, mostly. lol
I grew up in University Hts. within just a few minutes of Cleveland Heights. I spent large parts of the early 80's through much of the 90's hanging on Coventry w/my friends and still enjoy going there now. Beautiful suburb.
I grew up on Hampshire Road... in the same house my father lived in as a child. Because he was born in 1921, I now have a 100-year history in Cleveland Heights,
❤❤❤
I lived on Hampshire Road (my first apartment), next door to Irv’s Deli in 1972.
What about Noble Road?
My home town! It was a great place to grow up in. We lived only a few blocks from Cain Park. We could sit on our sun porch and hear the concerts in the evenings. 🙂
Altamont
I grew up on edgehill. And Tommy’s is still my favorite diner.
Best veggie burgers on earth. I’m not even a vegetarian but I could be if the food was like that with all of it.
I left Cleveland Hts., many moons ago, but every trip back home includes at least one trip to Tommy's. I miss their falafel, milkshakes and unique menu!!
Best Corned Beef Pita sandwich EVER!!!!
I lived on Euclid Heights Blvd in the early ‘60’s in a beautiful old house which had been divided into two rental units. ours had 4 bedrooms And beautiful woodwork throughout.
I lived on Euclid Hts Blvd in the late 60s, just as the hippies came.
I got a colonic at Colonic Health and Wellness and loved it.
I bet you were bursting with excitement…..amongst other things. I hope you held it in long enough!
What about Cedar Fairmount and Nighttown?
And the Alcazar Hotel
An actress whom you missed naming was Virginia Leith, star of such pictures as "Violent Saturday" and "A Kiss Before Dying". She graduated from Cleveland Heights High School.
I lived above the Winking Lizard on Coventry.
The movie "The Oh in Ohio" was filmed in Cleveland Heights. It's a hoot. The singer Judy Collins performs here every summer in Cain Park. It is a large old City that gives up its secrets slowly.
Lived on Taylor and Edison, not too far from Severance Center. Great place to grow up in the 70's-80s
Lived on Berkeley road, went to Millikin in the mid 70’s.
Not so great to grow up in now.
0:55 I've liked that house since I was a kid. I always thought it had the most unique style compared to the others. . Reminded me of something you would see in Beverly Hill, CA. A
Bob Hope’s home was right behind ours and our baseballs and soccer balls often ended up in his backyard, with us knowing the pathways to get in and retrieve them. No dog to contend with. Rarely saw him or his family. Mid- Late 60s to mid 70s. Loved growing up in CH.
He had a great house !
The first house they showed is my former classmate's house- and it's not in the Euclid Hts subdivision- at least that's not what it's been called since I've been alive. That's on Fairmount. It's actually a very famous property
I lived in Brookpark Ohio from 1959 to 1965, then on W.112th St from 1965 to 1970. I spent 1 year and 2 days at George Jr. Republic in Grove City, PA. My parents had moved to Canton Ohio where I came home to in 1971. I moved to Millersburgh, Ohio from 1977 to 1981 and came back to Canton. I've been here ever since 1981.
@wizard also: Welcome back to Northeast Ohio! My family came to Cleveland, Ohio, looking for better jobs cause he coal mines were dying. I was 8 years old when we came here. I had my pediatric rotation at Akron's Children's hospital, had to form down there for 3 months. No complaints here, but that was in 1981. I see that you posted this comment one year ago, but if you see this,, know that I am wishing you a very happy Christmas and the new year filled with blessings and happy memories! 💖
God Bless CLEVELAND Heights and God Bless Cuyahoga County and God Bless All Lake County !
Just Outstanding! When I came back to Cleveland,Ohio after my tour of duty in the military friends took me up to Coventry Rd. What a fantastic experience. Thanks to my buddies for the ride.
When my parents moved to Cleveland's west side. I missed the life I had in Brookpark. I took to hopping freight trains to get away from the city and go on adventures
Please add Chuck Cooper to your list of famous residents of Cleveland Hts. Chuck is a Tony-winning broadway star abd has appeared in television shows as well. Great video!
Dean Martin lived in the Balfour apts, on the corner of Coventry and Mayfield also.
Attended a concert by Sammy Davis, Jr. in the old amphitheater in Cain Park in the '60's.
I Thoroughly Enjoyed This! 👌 Happy Holidays ....
My grandparents, Erwin and Helen Wochele, lived on E. Fairfax from 1939 till their deaths in 1998 and 2000. My great grandfather Will Mayborn, had a home on E. Monmouth, after travelling from Akron, Cincy, Indy, Ft.Wayne and winding up back in Cleveland Hts. He was part of the committee that raised funds to build The Church of the Savior on Lee. I'm surprised that church was not mentioned in this video with it's rather ornate stonework.
Grew up on Tullamore! Cedar +lee area
Oh snap! This is the 100th anniversary of Cleveland Heights as a city.
I grew up on Meadowbrook between South Taylor and Silsby. It was such a great area to grow up at the time.
I worked (and lived next door) at the Heights Art Theatre in the mid-late 70s. It was a good time!
Hey! Me too!
@@williamhervey6409 Is Sandy your sister?
@@Ms.HistoryBuff433 no, we lived in the tiny 3rd floor apartment above Betty
I sold Tix at Rocky Horror for almost the whole run at the Heights
@@williamhervey6409 I worked in the candy stand. I remember meeting Tim Curry when he visited for an appearance. He was very gracious.
When I was a student at CIM’77, many of the teachers there and at CWRU lived in Cleveland Heights and nearby.
Interesting little slideshow! I was hoping to hear about Cedar/Fairmont shops and neighborhoods bordering North Park Blvd! That's where I grew up.
So did I. I lived on Bellfield and worked at Russo's as a teen. Great memories. 😀
Having grown up there all I can say is thank you, quite interesting ....
Went to my first gay party in Coventry in 1972. Coventry was everything.
@cockyhemi it was a sausage party. They played ‘hide the sausage’, the exploding sausage and finally then get blind folded and have to guess who’s sausage you were holding. Then you might get some cream to swallow as a party favor.
Good production - I suggest adding "and University Heights" to the title, given coverage of John Carroll University and shops at Cedar Center. Also, I wasn't aware singer Eric Carmen lived in Cleveland Heights; as a youth he lived in Lyndhurst and attended Brush High.
You forgot to mention Halle berry being from hts and named after Halle’s
Searching for anyone from Miles Heights , Cleveland Ohio
Great video 👍
Yeah the good old days.. Now the city is plagued by juveniles with guns killing innocent people after the judge allowed then free so many times. You have generations of families in prisons and puplic housing . SCHOOLS AND Social media are nothing more but chill time for the children who choose to go. Homes have 10 different families in them. Investors have bought up any homes of value before a average working family can. No chase policy means not only will the puplic not be aware of these criminals of all ages but now they can shoot you and run police can't not chase . Leaving anyone at risk.
Streets out of Downtown and Tremont are full of gangs trash prostitution not even safe for a adult yet a child that's not into the gang thing. Sadly is how these low income families get vouchers for catholic schools and private schools just to get out here shooting other children and bully other children who's parents spend so much time working they have no clue while they pay all that money lil johnny is getting smack boxed in the hall by the project kids( yeah I said it ) the justice here if your a victim of any kind of crime is just ridiculous...I mean to find out the same criminals have been set free over and over after police risk thier live to lock them up is just enough right there ! Criminals have the rights the luxury!
There's your diversity.
Great video, lots of info I hadn’t come by previously! Could you please do one in South Euclid and one on Lyndhurst and Mayfield Heights? I live out of state now and miss my home. Thank you for a nice reminder on Christmas Eve 2020!
Happy holidays.
I lived on Euclid Height Boulevard in the early ‘60’s and later in Mayfield Village. Would lie to see the same areas you mentioned!
Funny I should see this after responding to the discussion abt Cleveland Hgts Blvd…I moved from there to Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village and taught Spanish at MHS the at Brush
A long time ago but many good memories. Lived on E. Scarborough Rd., off Lee Rd. A block from Fairfax Elementary.
My mother grew up on Clarendon Rd. I grew up on Bellfield Rd near Cedar and Fairmount.
It's funny, I haven't visited since 1979, but yeah, I guess I miss the Heights
That’s crazy to hear lol I went to Cleveland heights schools my whole life graduated high school in 2012 would love to know what it was like back then , I’ve seen it change drastically from a kid until now but some areas still give you that good “heights” vibe
Did roofing work all over those neighborhoods
Graduated Cleveland Heights High School in 1974.
I hope you'll do a slideshow of Brecksville next!
Great info, lousy narrator! Why use a robot when a person would be so superior??
You can have it !
THX U ❗👍👋 👋
Allan teacher non 1974
Remember this well. My parents lived in an apt on Noble Rd. Nela Park with the beautiful Christmas lights.
My drs were all near Severance Mall, my children were bORN AT Huron Rd Hospital, this was back in the 1960s.
Ron at Huron Rd
Too bad crime has gotten higher. Such a nice place
It seems as if everybody left Cleveland. Because of diversity?
Lack of jobs.
@@imperialdagger In June the unemployment rate in Cleveland was 6.5. Not so bad at all in the broader context.
It seems so.
@@oraclex2976 you actually believe that number?
Ghetto poverty and drugs everywhere that’s why
Cleveland Heights is still a good neighborhood. Except for certain parts.
Just like Pittsburgh
Cleveland Heights is a Suburb of Cleveland. It is not part of Cleveland proper.
@@deecizmadia4609 still just like Pittsburgh sorry
I grew up in Cleveland Heights and always appreciated its beauty. It's a bitter shame that the n-words have all-but ruined it.
Wow that’s quite racist of you …
@@Fashionceo Just dealing with the facts on the ground, ma'am.
People like you ruined it
I hope you are born black next time!!!
Its a dump . Can't wait to leave .
