When I came home for Christmas leave from the Army in 1965 I dated a waitress from the night shift and one from the day shift, that kept me on my toes , keeping them apart. They use to have so much traffic diving around the Loop they had a guy selling tickets for 25 cents every time you went around, when you parked you could use them as part of the payment for your order! I am glad I found your site, brings back a lot of memories. I use to have a cop buddy there, Don Skodny, wanted me to join the Lorain Police Dept., but after a tour in the Army my blood was as thin as water from a year in the South Pacific, and I couldn't handle the cold and moved back South for a few years. I have no idea how old your group are, I am almost 75, could be way before any of your times. geneingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10416660890137559250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-56153469004056497542017-06-15T16:42:29.477-04:002017-06-15T16:42:29.477-04:00In Dec. 1958 my Mother, Sister and I arrived at th...In Dec. 1958 my Mother, Sister and I arrived at that bus station moving to Lorain from Memphis, after my Father transferred from the Ford Assembly plant to the new plant in Lorain! There was a café in the bus station that had the best chili I have ever eaten, use to go back every so often to get a bowl! I graduated from Lorain High in 1961! D.E.

I know that it is the same burgundy building but I'm beginning to wonder if the sign was in a different position or even on a different street relative to the building. My memory is pretty lousy, but the sign may have been on Main Street as opposed to the main highway; I 'll see if I can figure it out by reviewing the aerials.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-3276455610588030132017-03-30T09:34:55.767-04:002017-03-30T09:34:55.767-04:00Dan, Just wondering, Why does the picture fro...Dan, Just wondering, Why does the picture from 2013 have a green field in the background, while your picture from 2016 have some older looking buildings in it ??
