May 2024 - Hulu Movie "Stickshift" films in Euclid, Ohio

Thanks to Reddit user Sn00byD0 here's a couple of quick shots of the Hulu film Stickshift filming on Lakeshore blvd. between East 264th and East 266th streets. 

Stickshift has been described as "a Feature-Length High-Budget Subscription Video On Demand Program, STICKSHIFT, to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures intended for initial release on Hulu." A casting call went out during summer 2023, and filming locations are all over Cleveland and the suburbs.

26410 Lakeshore Blvd was most recently a US Bank location, which closed sometime in 2012 or 2013.

A century ago, a farm called Braeburn (alternate spelling Brae Burn) was situated at 25000 Euclid Avenue. This property saw many church related events, and Mayor Sims campaign headquaters. In the 1930 and 40s there was a hospital for the "nervous" on the grounds.

"Every Hand is a Winner" exclaims the top of the billboard, with playing cards featuring the Blazer, Geo Prizm, Lumina, and Cavalier, with another card being unreadable.

A little tiny bit of research on these automobile models puts this recently uncovered billboard between 1989 and 1994.

Before you go, if you like old billboards that used to be hidden, go here for a Euclid Square Mall Red Lobster treat!

25571 Euclid: H. Trattner, DiBella's and Armao's Pizza

In a recent Facebook thread about another restaurant on Euclid avenue, someone commented about the pizza shop with jukeboxes on the tables. That restaurant was called Armao's Pizza.

Armao's was in a small strip mall on the North side of Euclid Avenue, very close to Babbitt road. The strip mall was built as the Euclid-Babbitt Shopping Center. Frank Homan's building was six units and he began renting them out in 1956.

Marc's Shore Center Then & Now 22830 & 22840 Lakeshore Blvd

 

marc's shore center than and now
This is part 1 in a series, E. 228th & Lakeshore Shopping Center.

What was Marc's near Shore Center before it was Marc's? Marc's address is 22840 Lakeshore Blvd., Euclid, Ohio. Expansion over time meant that Marc's is also 22830 Lakeshore Blvd. I assume 22830 was absorbed in the late 1990s.

The section of the building facing Lakeshore boulevard was built in 1952. It was later added onto in the 1960s.
