The Wishbone Restaurant, north side of Oberlin Elyria Rd, old Rt 20, just east of West Rd, Oberlin. The house is still there but the large building is gone. By 1978 the name had been changed to the Crystal Inn.

I believe my grandmother owned/operated this restaurant, Marjorie Linderman Whitney Bauer (Rebel)

Wishbone Restaurant, "Location, Location, Location" was not true here, middle of nowhere and I have never seen anything like it since. It was the best food around, the constant line of cars just waiting to get into the parking lot, was a testament to their food, a normal sight for many years. After the owner passed and it reopened as the Crystal Inn, it was never able to rebuild that following.
