Wow! What a blast from the past! I used to live and work in Lima in the 1970s. Worked at WCIT radio on Cable Rd. Shopped at Clyde Evans for groceries. Had breakfast at Perkins almost every Saturday morning. Lima was a great place to live back then.

@Kierlana1 Жыл бұрын

We listened to WCIT a lot and I used to live in a trailer Court near by and I shopped at Clyde’s all the time. Mom and dad loved taking us to Perkins, pecan waffle was my fave.

Wow, what a blast from the past! It’s nice to see how Lima looked when I was young. I remember Cooks store, and before that it was Rinks. Things have changed so much since then. We moved to Sarasota, Fl a long time ago, but it’s nice to reminisce. Thanks for posting.

@ChristopherSobieniak 4 жыл бұрын

We had Rinks/Cooks in Toledo as well! The one I knew where my grandma lived became a "Food Town Plus" before that closed up for good in the early 2000's (now it's some charter school).

I love this video. I moved away from Lima the year this video was shot. It is a real time capsule for me. 92 Zoo, Lobster House, Perkins... they are not necessarily great places, but they are landmarks of a place and time that hold great memories. For 6 minutes, this vid stripped away 30+ years. That is a gift. So glad I found this.

I do remember that Wal-mart started building the Cable Rd. store sometime in '88 because I knew a guy that helped stock the product after the building was finished.. That was during the winter of '88/'89 which would've been my Junior year at the old Lima Sr. High School..
