The nice thing about fertilizer is it all gets absorbed into the soil in your lawn. |

Eastsiders: There is a You Tube of GB - wearing a bananahead helmet (leather) dressed as Father Bananahead from the AA parish walking across the Cayahoga while it is on fire.... Thank the Lord!
and Praise be to those weird bananahead helmets that protect us from the non-believers. |

GB: I remember the 60's song "Walk a Mile in my Shoes" ... once again you were the leader of the pack.... Was it the bananahead helmet, the Nehru jacket or the wingtips with lifters ... ????? |

GB: I will take the DSR to Harper Hospital in the morning ... and check into the psych ward once again ... for the longest time I thought that I was a writer doing historical writings about growing up on the Eastside - then I realized that I was living in AZ in the high desert and had several horses. See you all at Ballduck and then over on Eastwood, then at Heilmann and then the Denby parking lot. |

GB: I worked in a school (1 day a week) as the elementary school counselor and the custodian ran this bar in one of the storage rooms ... the principal (like you) used to book bets in vegas from my phone in my office .... It was tough when the district closed the Carl Sandburg School in San Bruno CA .... |

Eastwood south side near Rex
The area of Eastwood between Redmond and Rex is looking good; however, stay tuned much more to come. |

KR, if I'd have known, I would have asked you to take a cruise down Maddelein.
Great pics. Still looks nice. |

Jcole: If your home was 8 houses off Rex on the north side of Maddelein, It is boarded up.
But I didn't forget about you in the photo hunt......
just inside the Candlelight Lounge |
