Nostalgic. My mom was born in cleveland in 1921, went to john hay high school. She passed last month. I look at old pics to see what she saw all those years ago. I miss her so much.
I'm 44 i was born in Bedford and grew up there , I started working downtown Cleveland when i was 15 . I loved down town Cleveland. I later lived in ohio city and had a art gallery there. I always loved cleveland. But when I was 29 moved to south west Florida . For many years Florida was great but as time went on i began missing the city of Cleveland and the history that i loved so much . Now i am at the point where i am actually planning to move back. I have been away for so long that moving back is like going to a new place. Florida is nice in the winter but hot as hell in the summer. And there is no soul in south west Florida . The city of Cleveland has so much history and soul that i miss so much.
@@mikebussy3334 It's because you never left when you don't leave it's different for ppl who have left and want to go back. It's not a bad city at all some areas could improve but if this home its home... Nothing or no one could change that😁
@@icelyn1 I was there to see America's first black Mayor Carl B. Stokes...I left in 79 and still often think about moving back...but that cold wind coming off Lake Erie in the winter😱...lol
@Nenethegreat W ...Cleveland is no different than any other northern city that had mass factories back in the day, once shut down their economies were never replaced, and all went into ruins because of greed and cronyism...now these cities are being over policed and gentrified. But through it all the fond memories remain with me of The Cleveland Arcade aka Penny Arcade, Euclid Beach Park, Westside market, Wood Hill park, Public Square, Cleveland Aquarium, Randall Park Mall, the symphony at Severance Hall 😊 Btw I believe that smell in Cleveland came from the Cuyahoga river that caught on fire in the 70s...lol
beautiful urban planning. I like the streets where there is a wide strip for trees along the side walks,really nice.thanks for sharing this.I wish cities could be like this today.
Downtown Cleveland is still very beautiful. A touch more modern now. Kinda wierd not seeing the Terminal Tower though. Would of been nice to see more mansions on millionaires row and more pics of Euclid beach. :)
@@lilzeus7945 The selling out of the Steel Mills to outside countries closed all our Steel Mills.. that's what happen.. every business and family depended on our steel mills.. the restaurants, bars, other factories that made gloves etc for the steel mills. Gas stations.. the whole city collapsed when they sold out our Steel Industry contracts to other countries.. Everyone had to move to find work.. Vacancies and abandoned buildings.. The city Fell.. but some congressmen and politicians somewhere made big bucks in kickback.. maybe even our own city politicians were in on it.. but don't blame the people who lived and worked there.. it was the closing of the Steel Mills that killed the city.
Note that "City" Square is actually named "Public" Square. What you labeled as the "New Post Office" and the "Federal Building" are in fact the same building. It would be really interesting to follow this up with a split screen of what the same places looks like today. In many cases, it would be a good pictorial of the decline of Cleveland.
Sar Jim how is Cleveland declining? It's population decline is slowing down, a bunch of companies are moving to Cleveland. I'm sure your gonna learn more about Cleveland once you actually pay attention , and not to stats from 10 years ago.
So very little of this left, and very little of that is easily recognizable as what it once was. Most I never got to see in it's original architecture, but even I got to see so much beauty and history that is now long forgotten. Kresge's ... The soda counter at Woolworth's ... experiences that are nowhere to be found anymore.
I like seeing the buildings on such scale and beauty. As the people are still riding around in horse drawn carriages. The men of the 1900s must have been incredible with their hands and in phenomenal condition. To do such work with no modern machinery..
Where is the population to support these massive structures? History is a lie all of this stuff built during horse and buggy? Yeah right. Look how HUGE those buildings are.
Love these old pictures! There are pictures like this for every major city in the United States. You check them out on youtube.com. We should be reminded that the United States is a wonderful country, and we are all blessed to be Americans with a great history, and hopefully a great future ahead of us. Most of these pictures were taken when Theodore Roosevelt was President (1901-1909). He famously said that there are no hyphenated Americans, only Americans.
nukeman444 Yup. Noticed the same thing. Nice to see the comment here! 👍See mud flood buildings everywhere now that I am familiar with the architecture...
Jas ASMR Eats Perhaps. Looks like mud flood architecture. If u r not familiar look it up. Lot’s of these style buildings all over the world from this time period? Plus modern day slavery is still around and at epidemic levels with the human trafficking world wide also. A very convenient product of all the wars. Especially women and children. Not alot of those left in war torn countries. Plus all the missing children in all countries world wide. Humans r big business. Especially the sex trafficking.
We lament what is left after black people moved north and destroyed so much of it. Notice how there are no black people there then. We don't see what could have been built BEYOND it if blacks hadn't moved north and those cities stayed white and safe. You can't visit where your grandmother lived because the POC who live there now - none of which were there before WWII - destroyed that neighborhood. The 'great migration' was one feral race sacking the civilization of an entirely different, civilized race and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.

My Dad went to John Hay
My dad went to John Hay High School class of 1943

Thanks for posting. Even though it's no longer in its prime I'm still proud to call myself a Clevelander.

I'm 46, lived in Cleveland the whole time. I hope you find what you think you've been missing. I'm ready to leave.
I'm home sick too I'm a Clevelander too🙂

Lovely background music! I jus love them old America pics ...totally beautiful!

Robert Kennedy there are still tons of streets like that in Cleveland today.. just don't notice them..

Wow this is so beautiful yet so sad . I love my city man . But I wish we would have did it better .
@Dell Extron That's not it
@Dell Extron you want something done do it yourself and stop hiding behind political parties we are the blame for our bullshit not the government
Dell Extron Actually that is the way to completely destroy our city
Our city will come back very soon I'm sure

I can see the Union club right outside my apartment window. Looks the exact same way as it did, the area around it has changed.

Beautiful buildings, modern architecture doesn’t even come close.
I notice how clean it was.
That is deceptive,....in the early years there was still horse shit everywhere, before motorcars,..when horse and buggies ruled the roads.
Great photos, thanks.

Very cool to see the world my great great grandparents lived in.
This represents all of America Old. Vs. New not just Cleveland
Why the morbid sounding music?
Wow. Where was Harbor Entrance??
i am from Cleveland was raise there
amazing, very well done!
Thanks !
Very sad i was raised up in Cleveland ohio
Whats Sad about it? What a stupid comment.
What's sad🤔 Every city has their flaws anyways. I'm from Cleveland and I smack bitches over my city💯🤣🤣🤣
It is sad... and people are just too stupid to understand why.
My grandfather was born in Cleveland in 1916, and his father was a shipyard chipper
Buildings were so large for back then
Thanks lots for the video. :D
2/3 of those buildings are gone
9th St. Pier??
Cleveland: A great American city!!!!!!!
About 45 minutes from me--- or 1 hour and 15 minutes or so.
Depends on my mood. LOL!!!
Make Tartaria Great again.

The Greats Were In Charge! Maybe I Wanna Be A Regular Normal In Size Human Being On EARTH! The Mudflooded WORLD!

Sad to see how it is now
The world is just ruined now😭
Let's use Pittsbugh as a model. Minneapolis too
The buildings that were torn down for the BP building were beautiful. It’s all about money that we wipe our history down the drain.
Great photos, but Jesus Christ what's with the somber, depressing music. Couldn't you have chosen something a litttle more uplifting???
The music sounds depressing
Now we have so much greed today
Mud flood buildings all day long. Look it up if in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
nukeman444 Yup. Noticed the same thing. Nice to see the comment here! 👍See mud flood buildings everywhere now that I am familiar with the architecture...
😡👊thanks.
What a century of Democrats can do to a city.
Before Cleveland was Cleveland
Everything looks so nice, I’m thinking black people had not been invented yet?😂
Joe Smoe this would have been comical if we wasn’t the ones that built it for it to be so nice when slavery was around. The ignorance.
Why did you have to go there? You're a jackass!
Jas ASMR Eats Perhaps. Looks like mud flood architecture. If u r not familiar look it up. Lot’s of these style buildings all over the world from this time period?
