Thunder Road Drive In funded by bank none
Lima report on LeRoy Roby, owner and sole financier of Thunder Road, who built a 1950s themed drive in from scratch after being denied bank funding. He invested about 200000 dollars, funded by savings and labor, with plans for neon, palm trees, and future expansions such as mini golf and an old drive-in screen. He notes lack of debt leaves room to grow, but upgrades await cash flow.

Kathleen Burke named Ohio lottery director by Gov Strickland
Governor Ted Strickland appointed Cleveland attorney Kathleen Burke to head the Ohio Lottery Commission as the agency expands roles including plans to bring slot machines to horse tracks. Burke, a Jones Day partner and former president of the Ohio State Bar Association, succeeds Michael Dolan who resigned amid a turbulent tenure. Dolan will advise Burke for a short period. The lottery expansion faces litigation and budget implications nearing a $1 billion portion of the two year plan.
