First appearing Mon 4/19 @ 7PM
If anyone has interesting stories to tell, it’s John Stark Bellamy II. Author of five books about Cleveland crime and disaster, Bellamy is the authority on our city’s most gruesome cases. He returns to the Cuyahoga County Public Library from Mon 4/19 – Sat 4/24 for a series of talks based on his new anthology, Cleveland’s Greatest Disasters! (Gray & Co., Publishers).
Hear about the tragic Collinwood School Fire of 1908, in which 172 schoolchildren perished; the apocalyptic East Ohio Gas Co. explosion of 1944, which destroyed an entire east side neighborhood; and the grisly 1928 drama in which two workmen were buried alive in cement beneath Terminal Tower.
