    That is exactly why I moved out. Cleveland sucks as far as the economy. I've run into a lot of people from Cleveland since I've moved and they all agree.

    I'm not proud, I'll do anything.

    I'd like to get a job as a drawbridge operator. The operator works out of that little room on top of the bridge. The pay is good and this one is close to where I live. If I can get the night shift, I can look for regular work during the day.

    Thanks for the picture Paul. I do miss seeing Cleveland. Is that the bridge on w25 and columbus ave?? I hear those operator jobs are very hard to come by.

    Hi Noni, that's the train bridge that extends from the cold storage building in Tremont across the river to the industrial flats. I'd like that one or the W. 3rd street bridge because I can walk there and get rid of my car. I know those jobs are hard to get.

    No, I live in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland. Just a mile from downtown.

    Where they filmed the movie "The Deer Hunter"

    I was in college in the late sixties in ohio and I remember everyone thought parma was the big joke all you had to say was he's from parma and everyone would laugh I'm not from ohio nor have been there for decades but your post made me remember.

    Nancy, I guess that was before my time. Sounds cruel.

    That was from a TV show on late night at channel 8. Called Ghoulardi I think. Big Chuck and Little John's predecessor. They made jokes about Parma and white socks and pink flamingo's and those looking balls in peoples yards. My dad remembers that show. It was before my time but I know about it because it still used as a refrence to Parma. Parma has always been the butt of jokes in Cleveland for some reason. At the cab company I worked for Parma was known as Parmageddon.

    I liked Parma. It's a nice area.

    I'm always sad to hear about this sort of thing "guess we need God's kingdom HEY"

    But

    Hey, how about those Indians?
