Often overshadowed by its bigger neighbor, Lorain, Elyria (much to my surprise) appears to have had moments of glory whenever the show hit there first, coming from the West. I would imagine the advantage was brief, but important. A trip here was somewhat more of an adventure, being more infrequent, and quite possibly encountering lesser travelled roads. So notable, that it demanded a photograph to be taken along the way:
On the road to Elyria, my brother poses for posterity. Don't be late for showtime!
A picture
of the Elyria monument is an absolute must. Even I use this landmark to
guide me to the western
parts!

heels in the square on a nice sunny day (waiting for the show to
open?)
The
target...the
Lincoln theater. I'm not sure, but I think you can see Tokyo Rose tonight
on the American Movie Classics Channel (maybe around 3 A.M.) if you don't
own a Time Machine, that is. I had heard my folks speak of going to Akron
to see the new movies before they got to Cleveland...but I must admit I did
not know Elyria was another secret of the cognescenti when it came to scooping
the celluloid!
