When I lived in the area, it was always on the west side. Western Cleveland, Parma, Lakewood, Bay Village, and Westlake, then is was on to Pennsylvania, the commonwealth that is a lie.
Every year, at our family Christmas dinner, we serve something our children and grandchildren have never experienced. Two years ago, it was caviar eggs. Last year it was cow tongue.
Way back when you started this you first mentioned those kerosene pots. We called them smudge pots. Yes, they were pretty universally used back in the mid twentieth century. I think they were discontinued when it was determined that they could be used for Molotov Cocktails.
Anyway, I miss...
"If you eat that, you'll get worms." (the Mom talking to the Dad in Christmas Story about tasting the Christmas turkey before it was completely done cooking)
Breakfast Menu
With a mug of hot coffee,
And some O J too
You stare at the pictures,
Of the breakfast menu.
Bacon and eggs are truly good.
With toast and jam,
It is understood.
They taste much better,

A big stack of pancakes,
Covered in syrup and creamy butter...
Hats are for heads.
Baseball caps
are not hats
They are caps.
Would you wear a Fedora
while playing baseball?
Or a Homburg, or a Darby?
Certainly not.
Cowboy hats are hats.

and cowboys do not
wear them backwards,.
Nor, God forbid,
do they wear them
sideways.

In the not to distant future, cursive writings may become the hieroglyphics of the untaught.
There may be an AP that can be downloaded to decipher these strange symbols scrawled by the ancient ones. (us)
Perhaps they made sense, or, perhaps not. Things we were told as children.
Eat your vegetables, there are children starving in (name the country).
If you don’t quit making that face, it’ll freeze like that.
Don’t go in the water for 20 minutes after eating.
Look at me when I’m talking to you...
Most people do smile, or perhaps even laugh. It was written to show how ludicrous the media has become reporting the news. Ofttimes, they don't even have a complete story, but still go on and on with no actual facts. I am sorry if you didn't get it.

This, just in: A shopping bag was discovered outside a downtown restaurant. Upon investigation, the bag was found to contain seven pounds of bologna. An eyewitness was heard to have said, "that's a lot of baloney." We're sending a crew to the scene. Wait for updates.
A fire, a fire,
A house is...
"The Big Sleep" by Raymond Chandler. I've watched the movie countless times and read the book. And, I still can't figure it out. Bogie, in his raincoat, fedora, and driving that old Ford is who and where I want to be.
I can’t say I remember everything, but some memories never leave your mind. It was summer, 1953. One year later, Doctor Sam Sheppard’s wife was killed, supposedly by a one-armed man, in Bay Village, Ohio. Dr. Sam was later convicted for the murder, and even later paroled and exonerated for...
