My family was originally from there, you see.
I wonder why we ever moved away. I was told there used to be lots of pubs there serving 5 cent lunches, (consisting mainly of salty foods hence getting people to buy more 10 cent beers)
My great , great, grandfather, one Frank Harff founded and owned the "Highland House" in the 1870s, a brewpub and restaurant and an outdoor beer garden located atop Mt. Adams. They had this incline railway going up to it, too.... One landmark Jewish League meeting was held at Highland House in the 1880s, leading later to the founding of Israel. Ah historic Cincinnati
Then it all disappeared. Now my father always bitches and asks why I can't be more like Frank Harff, Go figure... Do you think it is possible to do it all again in Over-the-Rhine, or is it too gone and too late?
