I rely on City Directories and phone books for my approximate dates, and it's possible to be about 2 years off sometimes, depending on when the business opened, and just missed being in the phone book or directory.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-37040916445061051962013-09-25T08:46:47.083-04:002013-09-25T08:46:47.083-04:00Xenas Family Restaurant was open before 1999.Xenas Family Restaurant was open before 1999.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-68788921361670577312012-08-28T00:07:44.109-04:002012-08-28T00:07:44.109-04:00My family moved to Oberlin Ave. in 1955 when there...My family moved to Oberlin Ave. in 1955 when there was still a lot of empty land. My mother and I used to pick blackberries in the field next to First Federal Savings and watch pheasants from our picture window. I remember and ate at all of the restaurants that are named here. Italian Gardens was an Italian buffet. Mr. Donut was good (and convenient), but nothing topped Bob's! I believe the jelly filling was raspberry. <br />Sharon Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495446833604890119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-39767043614950704862011-06-14T02:32:41.883-04:002011-06-14T02:32:41.883-04:00Does anyone have pictures of other old Lorain land...Does anyone have pictures of other old Lorain landmarks, example: Jupiter's on Broadway... any of the now defunct grocery stores (Meyer Goldbergs or A&P's?).

Nothing like a good flattened hamburger with hot, wet pickle!<br /><br />As for donuts, don't forget Amy Joy's by Midway Mall (it was right where Lowe's is now, I believe.) Really good cream-filled. But I'm still partial to Bob's, which we sold as part of a cub scout project door to door (taking orders and then delivering).Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-77608302435144652832011-01-10T13:54:18.354-05:002011-01-10T13:54:18.354-05:00Mr. Donut had the best "filled" donuts t...Mr. Donut had the best "filled" donuts there ever were.

Disney at 7:30 don't you know!<br /><br />Now donuts were a different matter. Every Sunday after church Grandpa would pick up a dozen - usually from DeLucas right near the church, but sometimes from Dunkin Donuts on 58 or the Mister Donut you profile here. Sadly, health issues keep me from enjoying too many donuts now, but back then...pass a jelly-filled please!Randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-39794976518647879282011-01-10T12:28:38.726-05:002011-01-10T12:28:38.726-05:00And a designated driver restricted to non-alcoholi...And a designated driver restricted to non-alcoholic dogs.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679511328486851988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-45997981663413393262011-01-10T12:07:52.252-05:002011-01-10T12:07:52.252-05:00If Lum's restaurants were around today, you...If Lum's restaurants were around today, you'd probably have to show some I.D. before ordering the suds-soaked frankfurters!Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-59869540853314942332011-01-10T08:22:26.953-05:002011-01-10T08:22:26.953-05:00I would have said Mr.Donut, where we stopped off a...I would have said Mr.Donut, where we stopped off after many a Saturday night gig.
