Bill, thank you for posting the West Park History and examples of “pony photography”. I was born in Cleveland in 1946 and lived in Shaker and, later, Warrensville Heights. Pony photographers were a common sight on major holidays and at the birthday parties of my playmates. This article and its related links brought back some very fond memories for me. Thanks again. — Ralph
Hey ralph, I don't see many people from Shaker on here. My first wife grew up across the street from the H.S. there, along with her three brothers. MacCutcheon.
As for the Pony Photog. Yep, I agree with the door to door aspect of our lives back then. I was in the country outside Chicago back then, and "no pony" for me. But we lived adjacent to a horse farm so I was not deprived of the sight, just did not get to ride.
