Join us for LaSalle Trunk Opening

On Saturday October 9, Cleveland Restoration Society (CRS) working with Northeast Shores organized a tour and walk through of The Historic LaSalle Theatre. Twenty Five CRS members and neighbors walked through the building. It had been rumored by several clean out contractors that a trunk had been found. The Snoop confirmed the presence of the trunk. Can it be true that valuables have been found among the treasure of the LaSalle? On Wednesday November 17 from 6 PM to 8 PM you can find out. The public is invited to the opening of the trunk.

JP Kilroy of CRS commented, “it is a surprise to find something within The LaSalle Theatre building.” Among other items found was a door from a physician who once occupied a second floor office of the building as well as picture frames and a fitter shade which presumably adorned the LaSalle auditorium.

Denise Lorek, Community Organizer from Northeast Shores, stated, “we plan to have an evening filled with the simple pleasures of life: a bit of history of the area from Collinwood Historical Society, display of found objects at the LaSalle, popcorn and some Wurlitzer music piped in to give the air / feeling of what the LaSalle sounded like before the talkies. Residents who live close by are encouraged to walk to the LaSalle, as they did when the LaSalle opened.

The Marketing and Media Committee of Northeast Shores agreed that a contest should be conducted so the public can guess on what the contents of the trunk. You to can guess what is in the trunk by sending your guess to Denise Lorek (216) 481-7660 or dlorek@northeastshores.org or fill out a guess at Arabica 818 East 185th Street

Long standing business members from the East 185th Street District will be on hand to open the trunk and reveal the lucky winner.The prize will be gifts and merchandise from your east 185th Street merchants.

See you on East 185th Street…at the LaSalle.

Be a Timberlake on Waterloo

Justin Timberlake was recently quoted as saying that he feels that records "sound warmer" and are "more vintage" then a digital recording. We couldn't agree more!

I am sure that next time Justin Timberlake is in town, he will stop by one of our three locations on Waterloo where vinyl is available. If you are looking for new vinyl, check out Music Saves (15801 Waterloo). If you are looking for something a little older or downright vintage, check out Blue Arrow Records (16001 Waterloo) and This Way Out (15711 Waterloo).

Come on out to Waterloo and maybe, just maybe, you might run into Justin Timberlake. More likely, though, you will run into people that are much hipper but not as well known.
