Music Saves
Recently, television station WEWS5 ran a story on the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. It had been a Croatian Home, and now a music venue of not top 40 and clear channel radio inc., and that would include folkish Americana, and louder stuff. It has been so for thirteen years, and has tried to jump start a music and arts scene in northeast Cleveland. A couple of record stores have moved in. Although, there is an effort, the area still looks troubled.

"Waterloo, are Trafalgar and Lucknow." Never noticed before -- nice catch.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't add the meaning of the KABOOM sign, and it's interesting history. That was the site of mobster Danny Greene's office, which was blown up by rivals in the mid-70s. He survived the bombing, though they got him a few years later in another location. The film "Kill the Irishman" is about him.
Thank you, i appreciate the comment.
