Here's an old menu from The Wheel printed in 1928:

I remember as a teen, eating at the Wheel rubbing elbows with all of the Cinci political, sports and news people...What a place1

I didn't realize it was such a popular place. My Uncle would take us there in the late 60s. He said back then the fish sandwich was 35 cents. He said he thought they made their money by serving drinks at the bar, but I don't even remember that part.

Actually, it was located about 25 miles east of downtown on Ohio Pike (Rt. 125) out past Amelia. It was a steakhouse with a western theme.

Most people called it the "Raunchy Rankin." Do realize that it was really about the only motel in the eastern part of town (actually Anderson Twp.). Later , there was a small motel near River Downs.

In the early years, it was a decent place with a pretty decent restaurant. However, they had a food poisoning issue in the Seventies and as the property got older, it tended to be more residential for transients.

There were a few other great downtown restaurants that have not been mentioned; Venzenso's, Capronies, Oyster House, up on Reading Road was Loretta's, Stanleys in Golf Manor, Old Jewish Bake Shop and Virginia Bakery. Soul Food, Alex's on Reading Road. I'm looking for the name of a downtown restaurant that was in one of the downtown hotels in the 60's-70-s. Thanks for all the great memories!
