Elsie Harmon received word (October 2005) from a friend who lives in Dixon
that the Memri Motel was on the Southeast corner of North Galena Avenue
and the Lowell Park Road.
It was owned and run by Art Benson who sold
it and it then became a restaurant with still some rooms below. She and her husband ate in the restaurant about 1956/1957.
It wasn't a
motel in the end before it was torn down - not sure when.
