A post about some of the local northeast Ohio happenings, venues, advertising, etc. from a 1980 issue of Showtime, a weekly supplement to The Cleveland Press. I had saved the issue that came out just three days after John Lennon was shot and killed in New York City and recently pulled it out to look it over on the 40th anniversary of that fateful day.
While photographing some of the articles, I found that I was also fascinated by some of the ads and announcements found in the pages of the magazine. Out of reverence to John's legacy, though, I decided not to post photos of that sort of thing along with articles of the tragedy that occurred. That's the purpose of this post. If you've found this directly but would like to see the John Lennon-related content, click here.
