Speaking of dance studios, WASP east-siders (is that redundant?) learned their foxtrots and cha-cha's from Dorothy Potts for years n' years. She had her own instruction/performance space on Ohio Ave (Silverton, not Clifton) and took her show on the road to Wyoming among other places.
The first Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor I remember in Cincinnati was in a small older strip mall on the west side of Montgomery Rd as you headed into Kenwood.
P-Ridge Chili is still there, still open until 4 in the morning!

Was your orthodontist at 7777 Montgomery Road?? Cause that was where mine was - cannot remember his name but he later moved north on Montgomery near Moeller, retired and turned it over to his younger partner. The partner's son is now an orthodontist too!

Dr's Hissett and Fry were at 7740 (?) Montgomery, on the east side of the street. The playground of the Silverton elementary school was right-angled to the back of the building. But it may be the same practice, since Hissett did retire and turn over the practice to Dr Fry, who went by the first name Chalk.
I remember another business that was more towards, and perhaps within, Pleasant Ridge. Untold numbers of directionless Cincinnati teenagers (mostly girls) must've learned their first cosmetology lessons at the Larry Moore "Université" of Beauty Design. WSAI advertised them endlessly, along with other long-gone businesses that targeted their audience such as Bick's Driving School.

I went to Logeman and Lang and Dave Lang is the doc who moved closer to Moeller. Chalk Fry was my step-father's dentist!! I remember well Larry Moore, Bick's and WSAI - long before FM radio!
