Restaurant Page – October 12, 1962

I like posting vintage Lorain Journal pages that showcase the various restaurants and social clubs. The pages are fun to look at and they provide a snapshot of the city when it was still a hotbed of eateries, nightclubs and organizations associated with various nationalities or veterans.

The above page from the October 12, 1962 Journal is dominated by the large ad announcing the change in management at Miraldi's Spaghetti House at 900 Broadway. I think it's interesting that the restaurant was serving Rosie's Pizza at its Tuesday Pizza Party. 

Miraldi's became The Corner Restaurant & Lounge by the mid-1980s, and Scorchers in the early 2000s.

Elsewhere on the page are ads for some old favorites that I've written about before: Kenny King's; Vian's; Lincoln Park; Lorain Arena; McDonald's; and Sherwood Inn. And this post included an ad for Ye Old Hen House.

Articles on the page include one that reports on the progress of autumn color throughout Ohio, including Lorain County. It's a nice feature.
