The list goes on and on. This is Ron Coden at Comedy Crossing, downstairs at Red Cedars, Telegraph and Nine Mile Rd . . . who has been singing his way into so many hearts for 25 years. The Ron Coden Show being pre- sented by Jack and Lenore Freed, Comedy Crossing and Red Cedars owners, is pretty much of every- thing . . . with this fine young gentleman flanked on each side by guitarists Steve Fava and Ron Blight. Sitting and strumming his guitar, Ron weaves melodies as his rich, discernable voice por- trays a conceptual meaning which is highly appreciated by the many people who follow this little giant . . . coming from far and near. Celebration time was on the evening we were there . . . a two- fold fete . . . for Ron's 25th year in show business and his 43rd birth- day. Even his three-week-old daughter, Kimberly Casey, came to hear dad . . . carried by Ron's wife, Renee . . . But she felt more like sleeping, so they didn't stay long. Folks who came to first show were given a treat . . . cake and coffee between performances .. . and an invitation to stay for sec- ond session ... without charge. Sixteen years ago, Ron did his first benefit performance for Focus Hope . . . and Father William Cunningham was at Comedy Crossing laughing robustly . . . and making pre- sentation to Ron. Evening before, Councilman Arthur Frolich took over for Oak Park Mayor Charlotte Rothstein, away at a mayor's conference, with proclamation-giving to Ron . . . Also Sen.' Jack Faxon with state resolution . . . plus his former English/social studies teacher at Oak Park High, Aaron Goff . . . Next night was Barry Levine, director of education for Cong.

GOOD CHANGE has been made at Rodo's Restaurant, Southfield and 12 1k Mile, next to Restaurant Duglass in Farrell Shopping Plaza. • It's aptly called "The New Rodo's" . . . by new ownership, who has kept the Greek favorites . . . but also added some very fine MiddleEastern dishes. Everything is fresh now .. . with the cleanliness of both kitchen and dining room a pleas- ure to see. About the Greek favorites, like lamb chops for example, top- choice quality is now being used . . . and the difference is very evi- dent. IF YOU PLAN on doing any bowling this summer, don't go to Ark West Lanes on Northwestern . . . unless you like rolling your ball in an empty building . . . That is what Ark West Lanes is now .. . as the locale becomes Embassy Suites and office structure. Expected to open by first of the year, Embassy Suites will be nine stories high . . . with 480 rooms and 240 suites.
