105 Lake Ave. Elyria aka 301 Lodi St. Elyria

 Lots of old newspapers list 105 Lake Ave. in Elyria as a pharmacy embroiled in scandal in the early 1980s, or later, a radio station. It was a Burger Chef in the 1960s and 1970s, and the address was typically written as 301 Lodi. The building went through many amateur repairs and was demolished after 2016.

 This is a Photoshop rendering of what that restaurant may have looked like 50 years ago.
