Cleveland Food Memories: A Nostalgic Look Back at the Food We Loved, the Places We Bought It, and the People Who Made It Special

I grew up in and around the Cleveland area. I live far from there now, but reading this book brought back great memories, which I’ve shared with my siblings. I can add my own Cleveland food memories if anyone wants to make an updated version, as I’m sure others can do as well.

Great memories - loved the pictures and the brief commments. The balance was right for me, I was not interested in reading a history of cleveland - just sparking some old memories (ice-cream sundays downtown!).

If you grew up in Cleveland in the 50s and 60s this book is for you. Gail Bellamy hits every good memory I had. It's like she hung out with all of us and knew every great place to go and what we ordered. Five stars all the way. Maybe 6!

tHE Watch was to small ,I had to return it,The books are great I bought them for my brother who is in Assisted living

I took a trip down memory lane near a street I lived on in the 50's and 60's in Cleveland, Ohio. This book was filled with words but the best part were the pictures. My mother worked at the May Company dining room in Warrensville Hts. And my Aunt Mary worked at Clarks at 105th and St. Clair and then at Higbees dining room. So many of the restaurants featured in the book were where our family would celebrate special days! Captain Frank's on the pier downtown was a great place and a great memory. There are pictures of Houghs Bakery. If you were born and raised in Cleveland and are over forty now, this book will delight you. If your Grandmother lved in Cleveland then, she will love to receive this book as a gift! I sent one to my cousin who lived a few blocks away from me then and who now lives clear across the country...but we share Cleveland's memories!

This book is great to remember all the places that I use to go to when growing up in Clevland.

I bought this book for myself &my family for Christmas because I like the author-she lived up to my expectations!Thanks!

Some of these great memories can still be found nearby. This booklet tells you where.
