At the time this film was taken, people probably asked, “Why are you taking pictures of such ordinary things? Why waste the film?” But now, they are not ordinary. They are extraordinary! Thank you!
Amazing how some of these streets still look the same, just with newer model cars and modern clothing. I'm glad that we've been able to maintain so many of the older neighborhoods that were built back then.
We drove all around Cleveland, & regularly took the Rapid Transit into downtown. My Dad's roofing business was near E.55th & Carnegie Ave. We drove down there all the time. We drove to the Flats, Little Italy, all around the Case Western campus, Wade Park, everywhere. My Gramps owned a deli near Euclid Heights.
Thank you for showing life in Cleveland in the 30's and 40's. I have been seeing different videos on YT showing filmed highlights of the city's rich history. It's like going back in time. Seeing Downtown, University Circle, the Flats, the National Air Races, the streetcar line that would, later, be replaced by the Red Line Rapid Transit. And, yet, for all the reminiscing by those who recall the past, the city in its later years has been plagued by poverty, crime, political mismanagement, economic downturns, and a loss of population. It's difficult to predict what the future holds for the city and metropolitan area, but if Cleveland has the breaks fall its way, maybe it can make a comeback. Only time will tell.
Over the years since I was a boy growing up in Cleveland, when I meet Polish people, and ones from Lithuania, Ukrainians, Czechs, I always recommend they visit Cleveland. I loved the ethnic neighborhoods of Cleveland. There were a lot of immigrants from Eastern Europe, who settled there. Including my mother and father's parents.
My home was built in 1920 in Euclid … Runs and works for me and my family after 43 years as well as it did when built … STILL HAD ALL ORIGINAL WINDOWS AND DOORS AND FLOORS ..!!!
Both my parents grew up in Cleveland, as did I. Dad was born in 1911 & Mom in 1922. We are descendants of immigrants. I was born in 1953, and moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1977. I love recalling my fond memories of various iconic locations I frequented. Like the Terminal Tower, etc.
@Elwood My mother's parents came to Canada, in the early 1900s, ( or even earlier in the 1890s) where relatives had already established themselves. Both my Grandma & Grandpa, ( my mother's parents) didn't know each other before immigrating to Canada, yet they both grew up, in and around Pinsk, in Russia. My great, great, grandfather on my father's side, came from the area of Eastern Europe formally known as the Austro-Hungarian region.
University Circle. Cleveland Art Museum, Severance Hall (Cleveland Orchestra) Case Western Reserve Campus. Streetcars on Euclid Avenue to Windermere in East Cleveland.
Seems to be Euclid Ave across from the Presbyterian Church. If I'm correct those homes are long gone. All part of Case Western Reserve Campus now. The church remains however.
I can see you have posted a link to the website which you used to add music to this video. Sadly the link does not direct you to the direct song used. Is there anyway you remember what the piano piece is called? It is absolutely beautiful!
My hometown is Berea, where we lived from 1950-1962. I arrived on September 9th, 1953. I was really angered when we moved to York, Pa. Every time I see videos from the 1940s and 1950s I want so much to take a Quantum Leap back to those years. It's likely I'd never want to return to the decrepit 21st century.
My father grew up on W-116th near lindale home built in 1935 -new!. Aunt sold it for 1at time in 2010 since built. Now you need to pack heat just driving down the street.. even in mid 80s grandmother was tackeled(clipped) from behind by two african american men. They ruff her up and took her purse --a 80 year old women.. They never got them..

Of course the street cars you see near Case University are heading for Windermere station in East Cleveland.
Such a wonderful neighborhood

Funny how so much can stay, yet still be the same
Yes it looks the same

You mean white life.
Thank you for taking me to the old times. God bless you.
The scene at 3:11 shows the Allen Medical Library/Museum building at Euclid Ave and Adelbert. The tower in the background is Amasa Stone Chapel.
Thanks for sharing!

Never been there, but I lived in twelve states, n9t scared to make a move. Hope Cleveland, Detroit can rally from the bottom.
I just love old settled neighborhoods, prices great, eclectic mix of ethnicities makes for fine dining
Uplifting ❤️
@@grandcrappy , They both look pretty nice now if you haven’t visited either actually

Do you have any more videos of cleveland? I live here and love these old videos of my hometown ❤ thank you for sharing!
I don’t at the moment, but will post it if I do.
Love you channel! Thank you for sharing💖
Thanks for watching!
2:20 Looking up Case School of Applied Science and finding the more modern Case School of Engineering was interesting.
Very nice series of little films. Thanks for posting. BTW, the background music was really nice. Can I ask who it was?
Directly under the video there is a description, you can click where it says "Show More". Then you can click on the link for the music.
Oh lawdy! how wonderful to see this!
Glad you liked it
About 20 years ago i had dental work done at Case Westerns dental school. Is that the location?? WILD!!!
I believe so
@ 3:09, the houses! I wonder if they are still there..
I guess we could find out through Google Earth

Amazing how people back then took personal pride in them selves and dressed to impress,, NO pajama pants I wish we could go back in time .
Most old films on here are the same. Everyone took pride in their appearance.
This is absolutely haunting! (In a good way).
Rapidly reaching the 100 year mark.
Salada........tea!

If you look closely you can see the mad butcher of kngsbury run, aka the cleveland torso killer.
still looks the same to me lol
has it changed for the better or worse??
Worse
Cleveland is doing fine anybody who says otherwise is just WOKE
@@pogojava Cleveland rocks!
The footage you see near the Art Museum, Case University, University Hospital are areas of rapid growth and development.
It’s worse now. Dewine is corrupt and all the competent people moved to decent states.
With all trash all over the place something's never change
😕
Today lots of Cleveland is crime ridden and trashed. Anyone have any clues why?
😢
They still haven't fixed those darn roads.
So much changes, yet stays the same.
It's kind of depressing looking. But its in b&w in Feb or March. 🤔
