Middle Avenue Memories Echo Change In Elyria Street Life
A nostalgic column reflects on Elyria Ohio's Middle Avenue in 1945 with elm canopies, wide six lane design and recent loss of trees to disease. Reader notes urge pride, neighborhood cleanup, and personal responsibility to reverse urban decline. An adjacent letter recalls West Side shops and Route 57 site, while a correction fixes a Beebe house location.
