WHY 2 WHITE SOCKS?????
I have been asked this question a few times and when i explained I get blank stares, so I checked to be sure I was correct.
Below is a wiki snippet..........
On January 1, 1931, a proposition to annex it to the city of Cleveland was defeated, and Parma became a city. Parma's tremendous growth came after World War II as young families began moving from Cleveland into the Suburbs. During the Cold War, Parma's Nike Site Park housed Nike missiles located in underground silos.[3][4] Between 1950 and 1960 Parma's population soared from 28,897 to 82,845 and peaked in 1970 at 100,216 before falling to the currently estimated population of 81,000.[5]
Parma was, throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the butt of jokes by local movie show hosts Ghoulardi, Big Chuck & Little John, and The Ghoul, due to its Eastern European, most specifically Polish, make-up. (Only until recently, now a section of Parma is name "Ukranian Village"). The Serbian community is also quickly growing in population. Ghoulardi famously made a series of shorts called "Parma Place." The jokes dealt with Parmans' alleged love of white socks, pink flamingos, chrome balls, kielbasa and pierogi and the polka.[6]
