As a kid I played around as much as I could get away with whenever we'd stop by and see her. She worked jobs like that all over town. Sadly, many years later, she was shot to death by a so called friend on the night shift at an Elyria Motel on Griswold Rd.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073819305558834913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-37487268784234342792017-04-23T05:47:08.089-04:002017-04-23T05:47:08.089-04:00Loved reading your memories of the Beachcomber!

The restaurant there now is Chris's, and when I'd eat there, I'd look over at the remnants of the old motel and think how it looked like an old movie set from the 50's-- I loved imagining what might have taken place there in it's hey day! you've done that for me now! Thanks! They've torn it down now--but I've got your memories :-)graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918856188762044935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-28849624138157973422015-07-26T15:20:42.566-04:002015-07-26T15:20:42.566-04:00Thanks for posting the wonderful comment.

In the Summer of 1973, Ford transferred my Father from the Detroit area to the Ford plant in Lorain/Vermilion.<br />Our family lived at the Beachcomber for 6 weeks until our new house in Amherst was ready to move into. I remember the Beachcomber for those colorful room doors, the pool, and the HoJo restaurant. Was there also a Burger chef across the street? It was a scene right out of Mad Men. There were other Ford families staying at the Beachcomber, and during the day, the kids would play in the pool, while the Ford wives sunned themselves and ordered Club sandwiches to lunch on by the Pool. The kids would sneak into the restaurant and order single scoops of peppermint ice cream during the afternoon<br />On most evenings, My Dad would take all of us to our house under construction to see what had been done that day, and then we would go by the ice cream stand in Amherst for a cone. On Saturdays, we might end up having dinner at McGarvey's in Vermilion or the Old Prague<br />Special times.<br />Many years later, when my mom was quite ill, and after I had long since left Ohio, I was back to look after my Mom, and we drive by the old Beachcomber, now dilapidated. She smiled and asked me if I remembered when we stayed there.<br /> I <br />Thank you Dan for your website. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-4849556314874894232014-06-08T01:46:17.541-04:002014-06-08T01:46:17.541-04:00Anyone notice the deceptive add photos?
