Continued from page 2 plays, formal appointments for shopping, brass- trimmed revolving doors and ubiquitous elegance. Simple as that! “The shiny marble floor, the high ceilings, and the banks of elevators that whisked patrons up and down Higbee’s 12 floors were for me the stuff of dreamland,” writes Hunter Morrison in “The Silver Grille,” a book graciously placed at every “Moonlight in the City” table setting at Lutheran Hospital’s fundraiser hosted at The Silver Grille Sept. 19. The Silver Grille was known, back in the days when you wouldn’t think of wearing blue jeans down- town, as a Tea Room. Portions were graciously smaller but artistically presented for refined dining. Nothing supersized in those days of self-moderation and re- serve! “Convention had it that middle class women ate less, ate more slowly and ate foods that were re- fined,” writes Morrison. The Silver Grille today captures the spirit of the Cleveland glory years. You can still enjoy a walk along the red carpet, appreciate the wood overlays in the el- evators and enjoy the ambiance of gracious living. It was a day when afternoon tea held allure. The Higbee-special sandwich consisted of Swiss cheese, Canadian bacon, white meat of turkey Russian dress- ing and garnish of tomato and sliced egg all for $1! Hot entrees? Bet it’s been a while since you’ve seen a menu that offered Welsh Rarebit on Melba Toast with Almonds, or Scrambled Eggs and Cheese with shoestring potatoes and sliced tomatoes on a roll! For dessert, fare called for things like Coconut Ice Cream Ball with Butterscotch Sauce. Yes, it was Art Deco styling and Art Deco dining at its best. But there were casual elements, too, like the Frosty Bar in the Higbee’s Basement Store and the Children’s Party Luncheon for 85 cents that was served on little dishes. “First you set your table from the little sideboard, then you eat – creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh Continued on page 6 Page 6 - THE VILLAGER - October 1 - 7, 2009 Thanks for the Blessing of the Pets High Tea Says “Thank You!” to Memories!Memories!Memories! and Bicycles at Continued from page 5 Rae-Ann Volunteers! peas and carrots, a teeny St. Raphael Church The outstanding Rae- All the volunteers who nate their time and care at give so much to those who tiny whole loaf of bread and Blessing of the Pets and St. Francis will be given Ann assisted living, skilled The Belvedere of Westlake, butter, a pot of cool cola away.

Page 10 - THE VILLAGER - October 1 - 7, 2009 Richard Roberts Comes to Westlake!
Evangelist and Faith Healer, Richard Roberts, made a special trip to Westlake last weekend where he appeared at services hosted by Church on the Rise. Since 1980, Rob- erts has ministered God’s healing power in 34 nations span- ning six continents. In his miracle healing rallies, Richard has ministered to crowds of up to 100,000 people in a single service. The son of famed evangelist Oral Roberts, Richard often has as much as fifty percent of the crowd stand for prayer to receive Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Hundreds and thousands more receive healings and miracles as Richard ministers God’s Word and moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. At his Church on the Rise appearance, Rob- erts urged guests to pray and heal one another through the Word, which is given freely to all who believe.

“We have had fantastic results after only four months!” My wife and I chose Fitness Together in December 2008 to move our fitness routine to a new level. I also needed to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure. We have had fantastic results after only four months! My total cholesterol dropped 15%, my good cholesterol increased 14% and we both lost weight. The team of trainers are dedicated to their profession, and each one brings different techniques to the workout. I highly recommend Rocky River Fitness Together. Marty U.
