That's real interesting. We ended up only getting to 796,000 by 1920 and 914,000- the peak by 1950.

wow, so I need to have 6 kids?  I don't know how the wife will feel about this!

Telll YSOH to take one for the team!

one?

I sure did my part.

 

My partner and I keep trying but... ;-)

 

Laaaaaaaaaawd!

someday, MayDay... and if we can patent the technology here in Cleveland, we will certainly enter a new era of prosperity!

 

and Musky, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're only 4/6ths of the way to fulfilling your civic duty to repopulate Cleveland!

^and that is my part!

 

fine, quitter.

well I'm trying to reorganize, instead of repopulate, out of our current pool of residents under 10

I have no say over the matter.

That would fall into mrs. musky's lap.

Any parent, in this day and age, with more than three children I applaud.

 

I don't know how you parents do it, but big thumbs up.

what is 2-buck-chuck?

cheap meat

ooooooooooooooh

my kids are going to be vegan... so, I'll probably only be able to afford having one.

well there are two of us, although I wish I was the oldest and had little sister.  I always wanted to be a big brother.

That is hilarious!    Y'all should bring that pic out of retirement on some billboards for 2010.

there's some crude comment to be made here, I just don't have the mind power.

You know, I sat over that for a few moments before hitting send wondering the same thing.

Yeah, that is expensive.  My cousins a vegetarian and wont eat anything that is not organic.

And to think Cleveland is 51% black...

Babies all look the same.

I'm a big fan of the man?woman? smoking a stoggie..

Let's try for half million for 2020.

He looks like one rough customer, even rougher if he is a she.

Well, I'm probably good for 14 and a half...I'm still not sure one's mine.

That's awesome!

Even if you follow Cleveland's population growth trends, hoping for 1 million residents by 1920 was unrealistic. But I can see if someone in 1930 expected 1 million by 1940 (the Census count when Los Angeles passed Cleveland in population!)....

 

1860 -  43,417

1870 -  92,829

1880 - 158,207

1890 - 261,353

1900 - 381,768

1910 - 560,663

1920 - 762,026

1930 - 900,529

1940 - 878,336

1950 - 914,808

1960 - 876,050

1970 - 750,903

 

The 70 years of population growth in Cleveland following the Civil War never ceases to amaze me, especially in light of the reversal over the last 40 years.

There has to a good pickup line in here somewhere, but I can't quite make it "smoove, baby".
