Cleveland Nostalgia Video 5

As a little kid, in my parents' first house in West Park, there were two primetime mainstays that I eagerly awaited every night. One was watching Dorothy Fuldheim on the news. The other was Cleveland's PM Magazine.

For one, how could you not love these animations:




For two, watching PM Magazine gave me a keen sense that Cleveland was a place where people were interested in entertainment and culture. And even at that young age -- though I suspected something wasn't quite right in Cleveland -- I knew that when people were interested in these things, it meant they were engaged in other ways, too. That they hadn't totally given up hope (yet).

Also take a look at the tenth anniversary show. Apart from some great shots of Michael Stanley and Jeff & Flash, there's a clip of longstanding PD rock critic Jane Scott interviewing Husker Du at the Phantasy.
