I'll see if I can find out for you.<br /><br />By the way, your roadside architecture website<br />http://www.agilitynut.com/roadside.html<br /> is one of my all-time favorite websites. It's not only a great and fascinating historical reference but a lot of fun to look at as well.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-60910379875077490902013-04-06T18:23:57.940-04:002013-04-06T18:23:57.940-04:00Do you know when the "Eagle's Nest" ...Do you know when the "Eagle's Nest" sign on the building was built?

That building could be so much more than what it is. With the available auditoriums & stage spaces upstairs, plus the view from the upper floors, it should be "the" place to have a wedding reception (or other large gathering). Ever see the swashbuckler in the stairwell?<br /><br />Maybe we could get Gordon Ramsay to come in and remake it for us ;-)Lisahttp://lorain365.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-32347349306845301452012-09-10T18:39:00.279-04:002012-09-10T18:39:00.279-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903050770478799846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-33156786554804594572012-09-10T11:41:15.546-04:002012-09-10T11:41:15.546-04:00I agree, people may cut back on a lot of things, b...I agree, people may cut back on a lot of things, but not when it comes to going out to eat. Even in the worst economy, restaurants are jammed.<br /><br />I do think that Downtown Lorain eateries/bars/coffee shops have to be more aggressive in advertising and in making sure that potential patrons feel that they could find safe, secure parking nearby. That's always a consideration when I want to try something "new."<br /><br />Another thought--in the old days, restaurants bought huge, full-page ads in the newspaper to promote their openings, and after that still bought ads to make sure people knew they were there. (My blog is loaded with those vintage ads.) But it seems that large, regularly appearing easy-to-read ads are a thing of the past. Now all you see are tiny, hard-to-read ads that don't tell you very much--that is, if you see an ad at all. I would advise any new Lorain restaurant owner to spend the money on advertising--newspaper AND direct mail.
