Parker-Hannifin Hall (Cleveland State University) on Route 66 (1962)

A clip from an episode of the 1960s television series Route 66 - starring Martin Milner and George Maharis - that was filmed along Euclid Ave. in Cleveland in 1962. The scene opens in the lounge of the Sahara Hotel at the corner of Euclid and E. 32nd St where Buz (Maharis) and Ara (Madlyn Rhue) are dancing to some swinging jazz.

About a minute-and-a-half into the clip, Ara runs out of the Sahara across the street to the Vixseboxse Art Galleries. In reality, Vixseboxse was located about ten blocks west in the 2200 block of Euclid Ave.

In 2010, Vixseboxse still exists, but at a new location in Mayfield Heights. The original building is now part of Cleveland State University (Parker-Hannifin Hall) and houses the offices of graduate admissions.
