Stories and trivia from a beloved Kent Institution Meet Me at
Ray’s celebrates more than seventy-five successful years (and
counting) of Ray’s Place, a restaurant and bar located near the
Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio. Once referred to as the
place “where the hustlers meet to hustle the hustlers,” Ray’s
Place has survived decades of trends, changes, and events. Hundreds
of students have worked there, thousands of customers have dined
there, and millions of glasses have been raised there. In Meet Me
at Ray’s, author Patrick O’Connor features the stories,
memories, and experiences of the legions of customers and employees
who have made Ray’s Place what it’s been since 1937. Rooted in
the hearts, minds, and experiences of the people who know it best,
it is an “organic” story. Through humorous and poignant
personal anecdotes, readers will come to know what makes Ray’s
Place special and how important that is to the surrounding
community. O’Connor has collected stories dating from 1943 to the
present, including one declaring Ray’s Place the first sports bar
in the United States. This book features the history of the eatery
and its owners, including Charlie Thomas, the owner since 1978.
Through the long history of the restaurant, four different owners
have sustained the connections between local residents and Kent
State University employees, students, and alumni. For literally
thousands, Ray’s Place is synonymous with Kent State University
and Kent, Ohio. A wealth of Ray’s Place trivia, traditions, and
fun facts are complemented by photographs and original artwork that
help tell the unique story of this Northeast Ohio institution.
