I had no idea that Roy Lichtenstein lived in Cleveland for six years and both of his children were born here. He worked for Republic Steel and a bunch of other places in CLE. When I told my son that I never knew the Lichtenstein/CLE connection until reading this book, he told me, in response, that books can teach you a lot.
Lichtenstein showed at the Ten-Thirty Gallery @ 1515 Euclid Avenue (according to the book), which would have put the gallery in Playhouse Square. 1030 Euclid Avenue is still standing, home to Loretta's Restaurant, and it kind of makes more sense that it would have been there, or maybe started there and then moved, according to the name of the place.
He also showed at the Art Colony Galleries @ 11504 Euclid Avenue. From a quick Google maps search, it looks like the building that housed this gallery is gone.
Lichtenstein lived at:
11483 Hessler Road (http://hessler-apts.com/)
and
1863 Crawford Street (demolished).
