Who Needs Yard Signs?

When you can just slip a tiny sign behind a bigger sign at the post office? (This was up one day and torn down by the next...)

Arthur Treachers Restaurant: What's Going In There?

2011-10-19T22:17:00.003-04:00

I got a commenter today telling me that something is going into the Arthur Treachers that closed in January of 2011. Well anon, you're right. They've gutted the place and are in the process of adding some decorative bits on the front, the name is of course completely escaping me now. Turrets? I figured I'd snap some pictures when it's all done but I think it is a Happy's Pizza going in. *

Bank One: Revisited

2011-06-21T12:33:00.013-04:00

I first went and took pictures of the Bank One on the Euclid Square Mall property in January of 2006. It was long abandoned and it looked as such. I went back this past March (2011) and tried to get a few more shots to show how this building is, well, "progressing". Fast forward 5 years and 2 months of sun, rain and snow and this is what you're left with: Click for larger... I would

Lakeshore Blvd. Blockbuster Closing

2011-02-21T23:47:00.005-05:00

I got an email a few days ago from a reader alerting me to the closing of the Blockbuster Video at 22320 Lakeshore, it reads:Hello, My name is Ted I used to live in Euclid. When I went to the Euclid Blockbuster today I found out they are going out of business. I thought that would be something you would like to put on your blog.Thanks for the heads up, Ted. I guess it makes sense, after all they

Euclidian Yearbooks Online

2011-02-14T02:39:00.013-05:00

I recently came across something I wanted to share. I didn't grow up in Euclid and naturally didn't attend school here so I have no yearbooks and well, nobody I know does either. I kind of stumbled upon these, I think, googling my own blog (yes, this one). How vain!Anyway, it all worked out for the best because I get to share something pretty neat with you creeps. As of right this minute, there

Here's a few pictures I shot off the same day I took the Arthur Treachers photos. This plaza is where Dave's supermarket was before it took over the old Tops grocery store building. This is on Shore Center Drive in Euclid, Ohio.

New Restaurant to Open in Old Coffeehouse

2011-01-17T01:31:00.010-05:00

Remember my Arabica joy in 2006? We went there a few times, it was nice but didn't last too long. If memory serves, 26598 Lakeshore Blvd. was also home to restaurants Boardwalk and Waterfront Cafe.It sat empty for a spell and a restaurant called Steve's Grill has been threatening to open for a while. According to a blurb I found they were slated to open in October of 2010.I don't know much more

Lake Shore Plaza's Facelift.

2011-01-17T01:19:00.010-05:00

Looks really great. Posting these for those readers who are curious about how Lake Shore Plaza looks now. Lake Shore Plaza is home to Euclid Marc's and a state beverage store amongst others I can't remember. Formerly home to a social security office and I-deal Tobacco.In case you had forgotten, and I already had, here's a glimpse of just how nice the new facades actually look, from September 2006:

Arthur Treachers Closes, Appears to be Abandoned for Hundreds of Years

2011-01-15T10:15:00.012-05:00

A new skeleton has been added, this time it's on Lakeshore Blvd. and it just recently happened, because when I drove by a week or two ago, Arthur Treachers Fish & Chips looked like this.It was up for sale and they got outta town!See below and look here to leave your comments on an individual photo.So the Arthur Treachers Fish & Chips at 23900 Lakeshore Boulevard has gone bye bye. I guess this

A Brief History of Clarkins Department Stores, Part I

2010-12-12T05:29:00.028-05:00

Clarkins stores, 1971 and 2004.Clarkins was a chain of discount department stores that was headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Co-founded by brothers-in-law William Clark and Elza Hopkins (Elza E. Hopkins 27 Aug 1921 - 15 Nov 2004) in 1946, the origin of Clarkins name can be quite easily guessed. Clark was a tire builder at the time and Hopkins, a University of Akron Alumnus, a mechanical engineer.

I've always concentrated on the Euclid Ave. area because it's
