Routes 6 & 2 Vacation Map – May 11, 1957

Well, it's after Memorial Day, so that means it's the unofficial kick-off to summer.

So it's a good time to post this – a cool ad that ran in a two-page spread in the Lorain Journal on May 11, 1957. (Click on it for a larger view.)

The ad celebrated the completion of the work being done on the highway at that time and served as an advertisement to promote the businesses in that area.

It's a fascinating little graphic, full of long-gone businesses and attractions.
