Citizens for Euclid Square Mall

Euclid, Ohio, 1973.

It's short and to the point: Citizens for Euclid Square Mall. And it existed as a group that fought for the installation of the now long-gone Euclid Square mall. They were battling Carl Milstein and Milton Roemisch who really REALLY poo-pooed the whole idea.

Today there was an article with lots of photos posted on Cleveland.com called Cleveland in the 1970s: A gritty city survives turbulent times.

In towards the end is a picture of Euclid Avenue looking East. Check out all the signage that used to be!
