DO YOU HAVE ANY LORAIN COUNTY HOLIDAY MEMORIES?

     I am always looking for new topics to post on this blog--and am always interested in ideas from readers.  However, my friend Mike, who grew up in Lorain County just gave me a great suggestion!  He and I have both seen the "Cleveland Memories" programs on PBS television.  They usually concern old department stores, old restaurants, old amusement parks, famous personalities, etc.  They ask people to send in memories of what it was like in Cleveland years ago.  They also do the same for Akron.  My friend Mike suggested that, since I live in Lorain County now, it might be interesting to ask Lorain County residents to relate some of their own memories of Lorain, Elyria, Amherst, Oberlin, or any town in this county.  So I am asking any of you who have memories of the "good ol' days" in Lorain County to send them to me, either as a comment on this blog, or as an e-mail at magstat@aol.com.  I will be happy to publish your memories on this blog, to be shared by others in this county who can remember what it was like here way back when!  Although it is not necessary that your memories concern the Holiday Season, it would seem that, since that season is now upon us, Holiday memories might be very appropriate at this time of year.
