June 1925: Tonsil-Outing Time for Euclid: Mass Tonsil and Adenoid Removal Clinic at Shore High School

 

Nobody wants to have their tonsils removed. No kid, either. It was a trope of 80's and 90's prime-time sitcoms that someone had to have their tonsils out, panicked, and escaped, only to be brought back by force or by a familial talking-to.

The Year was 1976!

And my, how things have changed! LOL, have a look:

From the December 14, 1976 Plain Dealer. Any hot, young chicks need a job?

I am gonna head out with the camera here soon (it's cold out there, man) and snap some pictures, so consider this a heads up, as I'm totally taking requests.

I plan on taking some pictures of downtown and that area, which is looking quite snazzy tbqh.

As for the mall, nothing has really changed. A couple of new churches, but that's about all.

A bit of nostalgia and a whole lot of foresight.

I've had a copy of this for a while and the first time I read it it was almost too ironic to believe.

Maybe they should have used ALL CAPS.
