Aunt Mary, and the Mainliner

Family

One of the delights of any visit to Cincinnati is to spend time with Karen’s Aunt Mary. We share an interest in genealogy and love swapping family stories. We also share a passion for Cincinnati cuisine. It was her choice that we lunched today at Frisch’s Mainliner on Wooster Pike, a location rich not only in the taste of Frisch’s like the Big Boy Hamburger dressed with Tartar Sauce and the Hot Fudge Cake but in family associated memories. Uncle Bob and Aunt Nancy used to come here on dates back in the early 1950’s. We’ve come here many times on our trips to Cinti. In July 2012 we walked into the Mainliner with Greg & Rachel and several members of Steve’s family to discover Karen’s cousins Phil & Jill and several members of their family were there for brunch the day after their daughter’s wedding. We have other cool Frisch’s stories but we’ll save them for another day!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
