    Hey my one aunt and uncle and kids lived in Parma (before moving to CAL and later Tampa), many childhood memories there!

    And pink flamingos, never could get that but thanks to our childhood leader Ghoulardi's influence they still live on......I guess are there really any still left there?

    I rarely post due to not having much to say but I'm on here every night reading! I'm from Ashland, KY.

    Some friends of mine used to go to some kind of film festival in Ashland. Years ago. Do you have recollection of such a thing?

  • Great participation. Thanks to all. In fact, I think we can take this a little further....and do sort of a "Roots" thing with it, and state your geographical lineage. I will go first:

    Father: Born in Bowling Green KY, grew up partly there and partly Barberton Oh. WWII Vet

    Mother: Born Cobh, County Cork Ireland, raised in Gillingham England and on Malta. War Bride

  • Wow these could get interesting or complicated:

    Dad: Born just outside of Niles, OH where I grew up, NAVY WWII Veteran European and WestPac put his 10 years in 1940-49 and out. But uncle Sam called him back because he was the chief electrician on BB-62 the New Jersey for Korea. I was born in 1950 when he was over there.

    Mom: Born in Cleveland, moved around some but settled in the Niles area.

  • Dad: born and raised in Cleveland, went to West Tech high school

    Mom: also born and raised in Cleveland, went to West High

    MJ drug this back up, but you seem to be the only one actually originally from within the borders of Cleveland proper.

    I noticed that and the BROWNS performance has had a lot to do with that especially the 1-31 skid.  

    Some might be the Guests who pop in from time to time.

  • We could start over again, and ask newbies since 2016 to do the same.  My info has not changed.   Born in Barberton, grew up in Norton, live in Wadsworth.  At one point in my career I had to pay taxes to all 3 cities  plus a couple of others: Doylestown and Smithville, all at the same time.   Lived in Cleveland 3 years during law school.

    Once upon a time Diamond Shamrock had their research facility there. Property backed up to I-90. I worked there one summer.
