This was recently in our local newspaper (The Lancaster Eagle-Gazzette)
"40 Years Ago" column:

March 13, 1964:

The Buckeye Mart discount department store, 121 N. Memorial Drive,
(Lancaster, Ohio) offered the album, "Beatle Mania" for 87 cents.
It had Beatles hits performed by The Liverpools.

[The site where Buckeye Mart once stood was later converted into
The Charlie Horse Palace Night Club and is now the Sheriff's Office (!)]

*_*_*

April 02, 1964:

Local Restaurants advertised their menu offerings and specials. B-W
Drive-In, 540 E. Main St, had "Spanish Hot Dogs" for 15 cents; Dairy
Queen, 1150 E. Main St., had hot fudge sundaes for 24 cents; West Side
Pizza Shop 323 Washington Ave., sold a large Pepperoni and mushroom pizza
for $1.75; Boyer's Restaurant, corner of Main and Cherry Streets, offered
chicken and noodles with four side dishes plus cake and coffee for $1 and
Burger Chef, 1105 E. Main St., was having the un-hamburger/
non-cola offering of a melted cheese and large orange drink for 35 cents.

[Dr. M sez: Dig those crazy prices. Dairy Queen is still in the same
location!
Boyer's was where The Bike Shop is now. I ate there with my grandma and
grandpa when I was about 5. In 1977-78, this address was briefly
Tumbleweeds Records, one of the last mom and pop record stores in town,
where I bought many of my first rock albums. Buzzard's Nest- part of a
chain
of record stores opened at Hocking Mall by K-Mart and put them out of
business. The Burger Chef location is now Vanity Cleaners.]

Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end,
