My Dad used to work at LTVSteel in Cleveland. He was there for 42 years. He retired in 1999. He made some home movies years ago of Cleveland. I loved to sit and watch the films. There was no sound but that didn't matter to me. How I wish that I could travel back in time. I still call Cleveland my home. My sister and brother moved away, but I stayed. Thanks for the video.
@@PhillipYarish My Dad passed away on December 26, 2014. Alot of his things was dispersed to my brother and sister. I got some of my Mom and Dad's furniture which consisted of 2 end tables and a coffee table that matched and a set of lamps. My Aunt JoAnne (my Dad's sister) may have some movies. I would have to contact Janie (my Dad's sister-in-law) to get JoAnne's address and phone number. I would pester my Dad until he would get the projector screen, projector and reels of film out of the basement and bring them upstairs or set them up in the basement. I would get so excited just to watch those films. He had one called "One Million Years B.C." It was a silent film. He had a silent movie about W.C.Fields. None of his movies had sound. He also had movies from when he was in the Army. That was in the early 50's. He also made a home movie of his brother and him pretending to be gunslingers and then getting into a fight. They were on a railcar, but the railcar was flat and had handles on each side so one person pushes down then the other person pushes down to propel the car along the tracks. My Dad told me that they propelled the car, then started recording and they were standing on it swinging fists at each other, while the railcar moved along the tracks. My Dad is from West Virginia. And the home movie I just described was recorded there. My Dad was 1 of 13 brothers and sisters. Before he was born, he lost a brother and a sister in a housefire. My Dad lived in a Coal Mining town. Those houses were not very safe. What started the fire was a kerosene lamp that got knocked over. His Mom tried to go inside the house, but it went up in flames so quickly. Her husband held her back or else she would have died trying to save them. All Dad's Mom could do was listen to the screams and the wails until there was no more sound. After the fire, they found out that the kids got scared and hid under a bed. His Mom was always tending to a garden to make sure that there was food to eat. One day, my Dad looked out the window and saw his Mom standing on the hillside tending to the garden. He felt bad for her and decided to go out and help her. One time my Dad and his brother took their little brother up into the hills. They realized it was getting late and didn't want to miss dinner. So they hurried home. When they got there, their Mom asked, "Where's your little brother?" That's when they remembered that they left him up there. They rushed back up there and found him sitting on a rock. Everyone in the family used to joke and say to my Dad, "No wonder your Mother's hair went gray early!!" I could tell stories all day. Maybe I'll post more stories if it doesn't bore people too much! Thanks for reading my letter. 😀😊
At 1 min 20 seconds into the video you can see two of the tallest buildings in Cleveland. The Ohio Bell Telephone Company building on the right and the unfinished Terminal Tower Building on the left. The OBT building at 750 Huron Road was completed in 1927 was briefly the tallest building in Cleveland. It was called “The Temple to Telephony” because it housed state of the art electromechanical switching equipment (Panel) to make rotary dial phone calls. The building still stands and can be seen adjacent to Progressive Field during Cleveland Indians games.

Sorry. The music originally accompanies a story which tells of the downfall and subsequent redemption of an individual. That idea will hopefully be Cleveland's story, with its eventual rise to the jewel it once was. I always loved this piece of music and could not get permission to use my first 2 musical choices.

One of America's first great cities.

Grandmother worked there many moons ago.
Sadly most people living in the city today have no concept of their own great history

Awesome footage

Cleveland had a great run, but all things come to a end .
Location of the pics might be nice!
Grieg's Peer Gynt doesn't exactly say Cleveland to me.
That's because the song is "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
