In the late 1960's I worked - and lived - within two blocks of the Superior 
Avenue location seen in the bus photo. We got lots of snow in Cleveland back 
then, too - and we endured at least two winters when Lake Erie was frozen 
solid enough to allow people to drive cars out onto the ice. One year, a 
driver didn't make it back to shore, and had to be rescued by a Coast Guard 
helicopter.
