Ghoulardi, the horror host of late night Shock Theater at WJW-TV, Channel 8, in Cleveland from January 13, 1963, through December 16, 1966, made a series of shorts called "Parma Place" and focused on an alleged love of white socks, [[Plastic flamingo|pink flamingos]], [[Yard globe|chrome balls]], [[kielbasa]], [[pierogi]] and the [[polka]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Ghoulardi: inside Cleveland TV's wildest ride |first=Tom |last=Feran |author2=R.D.
