UPDATE: Amy Clark of Elyria, the creator of the “Creatures of Lorain County” Facebook page, is kinda upset with the social behemoth’s decision to shut down her page.

As of yesterday, Facebook took down the page, citing violations of community guidelines.

“I’m just going to make a new page today and make it a private group page,” she told the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. “That way people will have to ask permission to be on it and I can delete people and add people when I want. That way Facebook really can’t touch it…I don’t understand what the big deal is with my page because there are way worse pages out there.”

We’ve long been a fan of our neighbors to the west in the Lorain area here at Scene, but the level to which the characters (put loosely) of that fair geographic region are celebrated (and, yes, mocked) at the Facebook page “The Creatures of Lorain County” is some next-level dedication and research.

Presented without comment, one of the page’s entries.

  1. To be fair, the stroller full of dogs was a part of a parade float from the festival…

  2. Although I admit there are some funny pics on there for Lorain “area” but it is ridiculous that there are some pics on there making fun of overweight people that are just attending their child’s school concert. There is also pics of mentally challenged people, homeless people..this is a prime example of no morals and plain BULLYing!!- The Creatures of Lorain County, awful!!!!

  3. @Sandy, you either like the page or you don’t. If it’s funny to laugh at one photo but not another what kind of hypocritical example are you setting?

  5. The ones that claim to hate the page are hypocrites. Some pictures are funny to them, but others aren’t?! You either love it or hate it. You can’t have it both ways. That makes you a hypocrite.

  6. Oh yeah? Well, well, well…you’re a hypocrite for calling out other hypocrites as hypocrites when you yourself are a hypocritical hypocrite!!!!! So there!

    Yeah, I don’t care, lol.

  7. Oh yeah? Well, well, well…you’re a hypocrite for calling the hypocrite out as a hypocrite when you yourself are a hypocritical hypocrite! So there!!!

    I don’t really care, lol.

  8. If people are upset because they are being posted on there maybe they shouldnt go out in public doing the embarrassing stuff thats being posted!! I think if your out in public acting kooky or doing kooky things then your fair game!!!

  9. The whole page is just made up by a pathetic loser who has no life and gets a kick out of making fun of other peoples lives. GROW UP!!!

  10. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain!
