Cleveland, Ohio USA Comments:
One of our favorite stops coming back from
the races at Nelson Ledges Road Course is
the Chagrin Falls Popcorn Store, and it's
Chocolate Strawberries. I am so happy to
know it will be around for another century.

USA Comments: I remember
as a child the horse-drawn carriages carrying
milk to the market and one time, just outside
the popcorn shop how old Mr. Pickering went
insane one day. Turns out he stepped in
some horse droppings which soiled his new
Sears and Roebuck high top shoes. So he
goes yelling at the driver and the horses
brandishing a little sissy pistol Deringer,
waving it around like a mad man. Well Clyde
Jenkins the barber runs out of his shop
and grabs at the gun and it goes off. Now
it weren't that loud, but it startled those
horses and they take off with a start. The
milk canisters break through the side railings
and spill all over- and the driver falls
off the side and the horses are pulling
that wagon at full gallop with the carriage
right over the bridge and out of town! Yes
sir, those were the days. That was nineteen
and 05 and I was just six years old, but
I remember that milk spill and the smell
of popcorn from the Chagrin Falls Popcorn
Shop just like yesterday. I just turned
101 last week.
