history

We tend to very quickly dispose of our history for the bigger and better. I like it when people recognize the usefulness of older things. Having been built in 1962 myself that is becoming more important to me.

Eric , that's cool you may have to buy a 6 pack of Great Lakes Burning River ale and toast the Calabreese. I went to CWRU in the 80's and spent some time in the flats, the night spots were in high gear then.

   Hay Doc! also had some good times in the flats in the 80,s about them here, if you know what i mean! i grew up in massillon OH.

Pete, Dow, Sherwin Williams, LTV steel,LOL, all the backyard dumped oil made its way into the lake...I talk to these old boys down there and the river wouldnt even freeze over in those days, but, there were many rivers that caught fire and actually the 69 fire here was a small one and Cleveland got the Microscope because it had one of the nations first black mayors (stokes) but then time magazine ran an article in one of the most circulated magazine issues because we went to the moon that year and Bobby Kennedy, Sherwin would do paint tests and dunk samples and the water would eat through the cord that held it....I believe the EPA came along in 72, and this was one of the major reasons, it was common place to dump right into the river without any recourse before then...its came along way since then.
what caught it on fire was near a bridge in a stagnent pool where all the trash gathered and one of the LTV trucks went over the bridge and dropped sl*g.
Doc. i found the shortcuts into the flats and the 2.00 happy hour already, i think it will revitalize once the gambling kicks in, but spent many nights down there and even had (Lee Braytons) Scott Braytons father who died (Scott) at Indy time trials, he let me stay on the boat during the repairs right down from Shooters, while he went back to Indiana
