So who were some of the other tenants of the distinctive building?

Who doesn’t remember listening to Jim Allen and his sports report about local teams, recognizing the names of fellow classmates?
(By the way, amazingly, Jim Allen still covers local sports on Kool Kat Oldies 1380, the successor station to WLRO. I even ran into him at the Apples grocery store in Lorain a few weeks ago.)
Anyway, I wrote about the many other companies that were located at 939 Broadway (including a printing company, a computer repair company and various nightclubs) back here on this 2015 post. And this post revealed that 939 Broadway was also the address for Lorain’s Tucker dealership.
Here’s hoping that Broadway Mary’s enjoys much success and community support. Here’s a link to its Facebook page.

If I remember correctly I think you wrote about this location being a Tucker Automobile dealership back in '47-'48....I highly doubt that any brand new Tuckers were ever in Lorain at this location....But it would still be cool to see photographs of the dealership...Would anybody from the Lorain Historical Society like to chime in?...Maybe they have some pictures,or know someone who has some of that location?
Household Finance Company (HFC) is the first business I remember being there.
If I was downtown in the Seventies, I'd sometimes pop in at WLRO to say hi to the jocks... good times.
You’re right about the Tucker dealership, thanks for pointing that out. I added the link to that post in case anyone else was interested.
