Nick and Drew helped teach my Sunday school classes at the church we used to go to. Their whole family is very nice and down to earth.

I believe Andy Williams and his brothers at least passed through here on their way to stardom. Of course back then WLW was an absolute beacon on radio.

Great info! I did not know Bootsy was from the area. I'll be moving out there soon myself (from NY). I looked at a house out in Adams Co. Imagine him for a neighbor! Hey, if you ever hear of him playing local, let us know!

Word's out that he will soon be releasing some new material, which I can't wait to hear. And lovers of R & B should be ashamed of themselves if they weren't aware that the immortal Isley Brothers were raised in Lincoln Hts.

Something interesting that I came across today. Peg Entwistle is buried in Glendale. If you are wondering who she is, she is the actress who committed suicide by jumping from the letter 'H' on the Hollywood sign in 1932.

Okay, maybe not that exciting, but kind of interesting.

William Henry Harrison was president for 31 days! I heard once that he caught pneumonia while giving his inaugural speech.
