Hilariously, this is one of the most controversial front page photos the paper ever ran. Pearl-clutchin' bluehairs were mighty offended at what this dog was doing.


Anyhow, back to the black and white archives in the next post.

Thank ya. I am, sadly, running out of the more crime/fire sort of news (or at least the most interesting ones have already been posted) so it'll be a lot more people/landscape stuff from here out

Honestly the people ones are among the best. It's a fascinating slice of life.

Whereabouts in Ohio? Guessing that first one's somewhere along Lake Erie. No idea on the beer offhand but I think there were always a number of smaller breweries around Cleveland a ways back.

This photo is great but why did he borrow his son's tie?

#1: Holy god that's a great av
#2: Maybe a safety thing if he worked somewhere with machinery, I don't know when clip-on ties came into vogue (I want to say it was invented in like the 40s). That's a stab in the dark though.
