Grand Opening of Tina's Pizza Parlor – April 1964

I thought I had heard of most of the pizza places in Lorain over the years, but here's one that is new to me: Tina's Pizza Parlor. Above is the large Grand Opening ad that ran in the Journal on April 3, 1964. 

Two well-known Lorain surnames – Fazekas and Ritenauer – were the proprietors of the place.

In the weeks after the Grand Opening, this ad (below) ran many times in the Journal. But soon all newspaper advertising ended.

May 8, 1964 Ad
It doesn't seem to have been in business very long, as I could not find any ad or mention of Tina's Pizza after 1967. This item (below) seems to be the final appearance of the pizza parlor's name in the Journal.

Nov. 1, 1967
Today, 3010 Pearl is a vacant lot.
