[or-roots] Medford and Portland

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

i am pretty sure the theater was called the Roxy. i  don't believe it was 
still in existence when I came here in '49. However,  Merrick's Motor Inn was as 
well as Merrick's Ball Room. There was a bowling  alley in the basement. The 
building is still there but Merrick's gave way to  what is now the Red Lion 
quite a few years ago.

I certainly remember both Dell's in Medford and the Quality  Pie Shop in 
Portland on 23rd.  I was a student at the hospital across the  street, which was 
then Good Samaritan, in the early 1950's and the pie shop  was our haven when 
the meals in the hospital cafeteria became too boring to  contemplate.  Dells 
in Medford was a special treat if I had been good  when I was a child in the 
30's and early 40's.  Dad worked for my  grandmother at the Merrick Motor Inn on 
the east side of Riverside at 6th, so  he ate lunch at Dells quite often.  
Also Dad ran a dance hall across the  street (Main) from the theater.  Was it 
the Roxy or Roxy Ann?  I  know I saw Gone With the Wind there in the 40's.
