Anybody remember these restaurants? (Cincinnati, Norwood: construction, license, farmers)

They were originally in Over the Rhine, off Plum Street, I believe. They did move to other locations at some point.

Here is something else I found:

But so were their prices. I remember the Friendly's in Madeira. Ice Cream was OK, but everything else was overpriced for the quality. When it folded the building was converted into a bank.

Can anyone confirm or refute this? I was told years ago when UDF started they were refused a license to operate in Cincinnati by the then powers that be. Norwood, their founding location is of course not Cincinnati. I am told this is the reason their stores ringed the City.

Interesting that UDF and Trauth in Newport are the only remaining locally operated dairies.

Speaking of UDF, how many remember the years of the local strip center housing a UDF, a Thriftway, and a Hunter Savings & Loan, all owned and operated by the Lindners. To me one of the best examples of business sense I have experienced. As they grew, were smart enough to buy into a construction company and build their own buildings. Used the casualty and employee group insurance requirements of these businesses to catapult into the insurance business.

recycleD bin: Senior Project: An Introduction

For many years, until the owner retired, there was an ice cream manufacturer/wholesaler (Mayfair) on West Wyoming Ave on the same block as the Golden Point. I never quite got a handle on what that business's niche was, for they apparently made their own stuff as well as distributed competitor's products. Mayfair Ice Cream - similarly to Klosterman's Bakery (the latter still very much in operation in Bond Hill) - principally sold to restaurants, caterers, etc. Unlike Klosterman's, though, you couldn't find their label on anything in grocery stores. So it could be that they had agreements with UDF, French Bauer, etc to share their client base and marketing knowhow. Untold thousands of wedding celebrations, restaurant dinners, etc in the Tri-State featured Mayfair ice cream for dessert for some sixty-odd years.
William Schuchardt did well with Mayfair, if his family's 12-room house with a gorgeous wraparound porch in Wyoming is any indication.

LOL, the Nightrider did it again--got all confused.

Is the house you are talking about located on a Burns Avenue corner? I have seen a house fitting that description before. I was always told that it belonged to the man who founded Stearns & Foster.

[goyguy]

The Schuchardt house (it sold a coupla years ago for around $900k) sits a block west of Burns, at 749 Stout Ave (corner of Pendery, opposite the high school.) It's a big wood-frame house, painted white, and more inviting porches are few and far between.
Mr Stearns' mansion is on the street named after him not far south. Dunno which the Foster house might've been, but my folks would probably be aware. I'll ask while I'm in town next week.
But this thread's all about food!
From my long-ago childhood I also remember Sealtest ice cream, but I think that was a national brand.

Yeah, Sealtest was a national brand. We used to buy it in the small Kentucky town that I came from.

"Red necks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer!"
And RC Cola and a big Moon Pie.
And Sealtest ice cream!

Where the dessert treat's concerned, we've gone over Graeter's and Aglamesis and UDF (there was even a poll about that) and now Mayfair. Who-all remembers the Ice Cream Bridge at Pogue's downtown?
