Mrs. Dempsey lived her whole life within the city of Euclid. She raised 10 children here and referred to the years of 1920 to 1950 as being the most progessive time in Euclid's history. She remembered the red, street cars where a person could ride from downtown Cleveland to Willow Beach for 20 cents. Riding within Euclid cost only 5 cents. The streets of E. 236 (Idlewild) and E. 220 (Moss Point) were only cottages many years ago. There was a time when the city wanted homes to be more permanent and insisted that they each have a basement. (6 minutes - stopped abruptly)
