Ghoulardi at The Note – August 1963

Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson)

Although I grew up in the 1960s, I was a little too young to be aware of late-night movie host Ghoulardi (played by Ernie Anderson) during his stint on Channel 8 from 1963 to 1966. (I only remember his successors in that time slot on Channel 8, Hoolihan and Big Chuck, and The Ghoul over on Channel 61). But it's well known that Ghoulardi was wildly popular during his time on the airwaves and, naturally, he made personal appearances in Northeast Ohio and the surrounding areas.

And sixty years ago, Ghoulardi made a one-night appearance at The Note, the dance hall in Ruggles Beach that catered to young adults. Below is the ad that appeared in the Entertainment section of the Journal, promoting his appearance the following day – August 4, 1963.

Ghoulardi has appeared on this blog before. This post told of his personal appearance at the Meyer Goldberg grocery stores in Lorain in November 1963.

And this post includes a photo of the now-demolished Ghoulardi's nightclub in Lorain.

The Note was the subject of a post back in 2019 that featured many ads for the popular nightspot.
