June 11, 20241 yr hmm, hidden treasures from a novel found? Staten Island: Forgotten borough or land of a hidden treasure? Published: Jun. 10, 2024 By Sonya Gugliara | [email protected] Staten Island is commonly known for its parks and historical sites — if it isn’t completely overlooked by the rest of the city. However, for a Colorado family, the forgotten borough is a hidden treasure. As reported by the New York Post, 58-year-old David Hager, his wife Michelle, 51 and his sons Ryan and Tyler, 17 and 21, trekked to Staten Island in seemingly unusual pursuits of a secret treasure at the end of May. Hager did not make this decision haphazardly, he was actually tracking down treasures written about in Byron Priess’ novel The Secret: A Treasure Hunt. Published in 1982, Priess decided to blur the lines between fantasy and fiction by traveling around the country and burying 12 ceramic boxes with keys inside for readers to search for based on poems and illustrations included in the novel. So far, only three treasures have been found in Cleveland, Chicago and Boston. According to the New York Post, keys can be exchanged with the author’s estate for valuable gemstones. more: https://www.silive.com/entertainment/2024/06/staten-island-forgotten-borough-or-land-of-a-hidden-treasure.html

June 19, 2024Jun 19 roger zelazny & harlan ellison hog up most of the local scifi air — but there is more: Meet the Reclusive Woman Who Became a Pioneer of Science Fiction The Amazing Stories of Clare Winger Harris By Brad Ricca March 27, 2019 I’m standing in front of a house outside Cleveland, half-waiting for a spaceship to arrive. When it finally appears, blotting out the sky, I will crane my neck and stare at its sleek, impossible angles. People will shout, point, and run. But I don’t see it. Instead, the house at 1652 Lincoln Avenue sits quiet. It was built in 1917 of stone brick with a front porch. The house is a duplex, split in two by an interior wall I can only imagine. There is a single dormer window sticking out from the attic, perched towards the sky. There is a big tree on the left, whose tips are already turning to fire, here in the September sun. The front door is closed. When I decided to organize a new edition of Clare Winger Harris’s stories, I knew I wanted to see the place she once lived in Lakewood, Ohio. But as I stare at her old house, I see little in the way of connection. There are some old grating and windowsills that may have survived the century, but that’s about it. The old bones are there, but the paint is new. People still live here, but there is no one home, so I don’t push it. What’s to push, anyway? This wasn’t William Faulkner’s house. Or Emily Dickinson’s. It didn’t belong to Langston Hughes, who went to high school in Cleveland. No, this was the house of Clare Winger Harris, who wrote weird science fiction in the early decades of the 20th century. If I rang the bell and announced that, like I was some door-to-door literary merit salesman, I can easily guess the reply: Who? more: https://lithub.com/meet-the-reclusive-woman-who-became-a-pioneer-of-science-fiction/

I continue to put forward that they should convert the Mather into the cruise ship dock. No better way to be introduced to Cleveland than by boarding a retired lake carrier on your way to the ground transport.

July 26, 2024Jul 26 I found it... by God I found it... finally... It's been close to 40 years since I heard this jingle. I was a kid in the mid 80s- my Dad was still alive so I had to be maybe 4 or 5 years old. He just made a bowl of this hearty stew which I was eating. I looked out of the window- the sun was out, and the snow was melting. I remember it just warming up that day (relatively speaking- it was probably early to mid-April), and it really was actually a beautiful day. And this jingle came on...

July 26, 2024Jul 26 Author ^I always laughed at the Garfield One 2323 thing. Nobody under 60yo at the time even knew how to dial that on a phone ^^I didn't recall Hal Artz until the end when they songbird 5930 Mayfield...that stuck in my head
July 26, 2024Jul 26 I liked the Hal Artz commercials. They were always classy, and he always said "Thank you" at the end.
July 26, 2024Jul 26 I see your Hal Artz and raise you one Ed Mullinax "I've got a Ford on my mind mind mind... Ed Mullinax is a friend of mine"
July 27, 2024Jul 27 Not a jingle...but still memorable. Especially for my family as my parents ended up in court with this guy over our 1979 Malibu that broke down on the way home from the dealer! Kids today don't realize really how bad American cars were in the 70/80's
