    My mother grew up in Gillingham. My aunt and uncle both lived there, another lived in Chatham. Another uncle lived down the road, but don't recall the city.

    Maidstone?

    I don't remember. I was there in 1976 for a single evening and was driven there by my uncle, so I don't remember the town.

    Anybody here born in Cleveland, raised in Cleveland, worked in Cleveland, retired in Cleveland, planning on staying in Cleveland? Just curious.

    Kind of like the reverse in Spring break in 1969 and the early 1970s in Florida, I never met a native Floridian.

    I lived (Shaker Square) and worked (CMHA on W. 25th) and went to law school (Cleveland-Marshall) in Cleveland for 3 years. Then moved back to Akron area. But now, where I sit is literally about 5 blocks from where I was born.

    Ridgway, PA? I'm retired now but when I was in the steel joist and deck business back in the mid 1980s we had to deliver a really small load of joist for a job up in God's country up there in Ridgway.

    A full sized semi with 40' trailer from our plant in Indiana to the site, our sales office was responsible for eastern Ohio, western, PA and northern WVA and we had to get the drivers in there and out. I believe it was for a small store addition and I distinctly remember the driver saying "you want me to go where with this". Oh yeah, small world.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    Wow 5 blocks, I almost did that the week I got my Bachelors degree I bought a house 200' from my parents house, loved it out in the country big lake about 1/4 mile away and I could shoot my firearms there! When I got my MBA I decided to go upscale to the cul-de-sac bigger house -but- still surrounded by woods and only 4 miles from my office.

    I do still miss the old neighborhood but don't tell my wife. 😉

  • I remember finding Ridgway on the map was just part of it we then had to get these guys to the job site which was scary at times. Sometimes you could almost see it but can't make a turn or back up or my big nightmare they'd drop to their axles in mud and I'd have to find bulldozers to pull them out.

    I loved that job we also did skyscrapers in Pittsburgh, the Canton HOF expansion, you name it but these small town jobs were unique. I was the inside man that coordinated the salesmen, engineering, manufacturing, delivery and everything else including job site visits as necessary. Fun high pressure job.

    Oh we owned all of our semis and trailers, our loss if they got trashed!

    In my case, what I mean is that my office is only about 5 blocks from the hospital in which I was born (not the house where I grew up...that is about 6.5 miles from where I live.)

    Mary's is fantastic Pizza, the pizza equivalent of another Lisbon Staple: Steel Trolley Diner, home to some of the best burgers created by man.

  • Good Pizza?:

    My good friend's place: Trecaso's on Highland Square in Akron. He also runs Mary Coyle Ice Cream Parlor out of the same location.

    Pizza and ice cream. Now you know why my blood sugar is high.

    Antonio's has a number of outlets, including one in Wadsworth. Very, very good pizza.

    And there is an Angie's in Barberton (but not part of a chain with that other Angies) Also outstanding pizza and Italian food.
