George E. Condon (November 6, 1916 – October 7, 2011) was an American journalist, writer, and local historian based in Cleveland, Ohio.
He moved to Cleveland with his family in 1923, settling in a powder blue up and down double house on W. 32nd Street in the "Little Achill" neighborhood on the city's West Side.
As the country was in The Great Depression, Condon went to work for the Atlas Display Fixture Company in Cleveland, then did office work for the Block Clothing Store, also in Cleveland, saving enough money to attend Ohio State University.
While working as the student editor of OSU's Daily Lantern newspaper, Condon met Marjorie Philona Smith.
In 1962, Condon was assigned to be a general columnist on the op-ed pages, writing 5 columns weekly until his retirement in 1984.
