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.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">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. <BR>Phyl Merrick Purdum
