...The Mercy TB Clinic is recommending that frequent customers of Boomers Bar, 305 Broad St., or Pudge’s Place, 311 Broad St., both in Elyria, between Dec. 1 and April 9, should be tested.

“To ensure frequent patrons could easily access the testing, the Mercy TB Clinic conducted onsite, free testing at both establishments on Tuesday, April 22,” according to a Mercy news release.

If regular customers could not make it to the testing session, there will be another one April 25 at 1800 Livingston Ave., Building B, Suite 318, in Lorain.

The test will be administered from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and tests will be read April 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the TB clinic.

Tests will be provided at no cost...
