Cleveland Boomer Memories

This night is for anyone who grew up in Cleveland during the ’50s and ’60s. The night is built around THE coffee table book of the last century, filled with over 300 glossy pages of everything there is to know about growing up in Cleveland during the golden age of Cleveland including hundreds of photos. From landmark institutions to everyday moments, hear about the spirit of growing up in one of America’s most beloved cities. It will be a celebration of the people, places, and playful pastimes that made growing up in Cleveland unforgettable. The book is available for purchase at clevelandboomermemories.com. All net proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to support Alzheimer’s Foundation and Holocaust Education.

Howard Zuckerman Bio

Howard Zuckerman was born and raised in Cleveland and was a Brush High School and Ohio State University graduate. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1975 and now resides in Lake Frederick, Virginia. His book, Cleveland Boomer Memories, was written to capture the times and experiences of growing up in Cleveland during the boomer years.

Ellen Jacob Bio

Ellen N. Jacob was a product of her environment. Born in Cleveland at Mount Sinai Hospital, she was a graduate of both Brush High School and Kent State University. (Yes, she was a witness to what happened there on May 4, 1970. It was life-changing.) Ellen has travelled the world, but always happily returns home to Cleveland, The Best Location in the Nation.

The goal of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is to bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland’s past – from sports, to rock ‘n roll, to Millionaire’s Row, — the series will focus on tidbits from Cleveland’s past that will really thrill the audience. The Music Box is presenting this series in partnership with the Western Reserve Historical Society’s new Cleveland History Center. We think the Cleveland History Center is one of the most important museums in Cleveland. An unknown gem that Clevelanders should know more about, and support. It is the only museum in Cleveland dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of Cleveland. The Cleveland History Center includes two mansions, the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum, Chisholm Halle Costume Wing, Research Library, Kidzibits Hands-On Gallery, rotating exhibitions, and the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel.
