Here's another photo from the 1968 Greater Lorain Chamber of Commerce booklet. It's a great photo of something I've blogged about before, Brady's Restaurant. (Love that name!) It was located at 2200 Leavitt Road.
The booklet text reads, "One of the most popular restaurants in the Lorain area is Brady's, which has served 'Quality Foods Since 1964.' Brady's is famed for the finest "Chuckwagon" fried chicken in Lorain County, delicious home-made pies, and home-made ice cream and donuts fresh from Brady's own Dairyland and Donut Shop. Industrial catering, residential home delivery, and carry-out service available at all times."
I blogged about Brady's back in November in a 3-part series that started here, continued here and wrapped up here. To my family, Brady's was a nice place to celebrate special occasions.
I'm not sure why the above ad copy seems to indicate that the place was in business since 1964, since the roots of the restaurant go back to 1946. If Mr. Brady has his Brady's Good Food wagon out this summer, I'll have to get some of the inside scoop, Brady-to-Brady.
Before the building was eventually torn down, there was a grocery store there(8-10 years ago). They specialized in cheap canned goods, which were mostly damaged cans that couldn't sell at other grocery chains.
