Anybody remember these restaurants? (Loveland, Reading: vehicle, windows, towns)

MrsM and I loved The Taj Mahal before it closed due to the illness of the owner. It was in the strip mall nxt to Outback off Springfield Pk in Forrest Park.

It reopened in Finneytown on Winton at Hempsted.

It is a hole in the wall that serves great Indian food. Nothing fancy at all, but excellent

My wild single girlfriends and I used to get all dolled up and hang out at the Precinct bar.

Grammer's plus is that it has a big parking lot. A big, fenced-in parking lot. That might help draw in people who might otherwise try out the restaurant, but freak out at having to walk a block or two.

Perhaps not the right thread, but Mt. Adams hit its stride far earlier than the 80s. Anyone remember New Dillys? Popeye Maupin? Jimmy (Smith) the Bartender, Ty Williams Craig Le'Mon and all the other fun people who lived there. I, myself, lived on The Hill at 1023 St. Gregory St. Funny, I don't remember any of the females.

Now, THOSE were the good ole days!!!

They missed one Gehio: "Where Paddock meets Vine at the big Indian sign"

YAC, can you move these 2 posts to a new thread Cincinnati Signs?

[Yac]

I can, but I don't really know if you can request that, only one of those posts is yours.
You can simply start a separate thread about it though.
Yac.

Anyway, all three of those restaurants sucked. I'd rather go to Dante's or Maury's Tiny Cove.

Johnny Bench's HOME PLATE restaurant was on Colerain Avenue at Springdale Road in the Northgate Mall complex... after its closing TGIF moved in...

Pete Rose's restaurants were on Northland Blvd near Kemper Road in Springdale, Ohio with his other restaurant on Glenway Avenue in Western Hills.

Frisch's owned Prime and Wine outright. it was never reopened after a major fire destroyed its building at Montgomery and Kenwood Roads.

Johnny Bench's was a Prime & Wine for a short time before Fridays moved in.
