24950 Lakeshore Blvd: Euclid Jewish Center & New Life Christian Church International

Sunday, April 12th, 1953, the cornerstone for the new Euclid Jewish Center was put down.

Prior to the erection of this building on Lakeshore blvd., members of the Euclid Jewish Center got together in a community center on Briardale. Today, this is the parking lot at Sticks Pub & Grille in the Briardale golf course.

Here's a picture fresh from the late 1950s:

In 1997, Ner Tamid in Euclid and Temple Israel in Mayfield Heights merged and became Temple Israel Ner Tamid. They did this, in part, as in 1996, they were lacking a permanent rabbi. They are still located at 1732 Lander Rd, Cleveland, OH 44124.

Today, the structure is home to New Life Christian Church International.

It looks incredibly similar still:

You'll notice that the decorative gray block work in the center of the photo used to be freestanding. A room was added and the blocks are incorporated into the new space. The brickwork match is very good, so much so that I didn't notice that they are slightly lighter until I realized it was added on.

Lubrizol's Privileges and Obligations of Citizenship - I Want them as Citizens

Published March 28th, 1957.

"You know why they're avoiding me?" said Uncle Sam. "They're afraid of government.

"That's because, in the countries they came from, government kicked people around.

"They've been in the U.S.A. a long time now. They should have taken out their naturalization papers. But they haven't. They're scared to go near a government office.

"I wish you'd talk to them.

"Explain to them that our Constitution was established to secure the blessings of liberty and that in our country citizens have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"Make it clear to them that in the U.S. A. government doesn't persecute people - it protects them.

"If they would like to be citizens now, have them visit, or write for information... My boys will take good care of them. I want them as citizens."

Today, technically, there is no 22800 Shore Center Drive. The closest you'll get is 22780 Shore Center, which as of 2016 is a Rental Eagle Purchase store, or you know better as the former Perkin's Restaurant (Pancake House, for those of you with nostalgic inklings).
