CLEVELAND - The third edition of this year's "Video Vault 5 presented by 650-GOLD" took a look back at a selection of Cleveland's TV memories.
From the opening of Blossom Music Center, Randall Park Mall and Tower City, to the implosion that made way for the BP Building, the half-hour show hosted by Leon Bibb and yours truly weave vintage video and film clips with some stories behind the stories.
Ralph Perk's hair catching fire, the Cuyahoga River fire, plus some fun along the water with singing and boating, add to the stroll down memory lane.
Our featured TV 5 personality for this show was our former staff medical editor Dr. Ted Castele, who estimates he had made millions of TV house calls over the quarter century on our air.
The show is in four segments in the video player.
The final installment of our series for 2012 will air in December.
Enjoy.
