Michael G. Poplar, James A. Toman

Cleveland Landmarks Pr, 1997

A must for any Browns fan, I believe Poplar didn't pull any punches, and told the readers what he really thought, even if it was something they didn't want to 'hear'. The photos he selected were relevent to the text, and the ...

Cleveland and it's streetcars
