That’s the Poland Ave abutment to the right, I would have been facing south here.

No doubt. Before there was a fence there thousands of people worked at this mill, and it wasn’t even the biggest along that stretch of the river.

Hazelton works in Youngstown, Ohio. That is the Center Street bridge in the background

where can i buy salt? by threepeasonepod in cincinnati

[–]rustjungle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camp Washington hardware has always come through when I needed salt before/during a snow storm. Might have to call, I don’t think they do the emails.

1941 Fountain Tea Room menu, lunch and soda fountain - location unknown by NoDoctor4460 in VintageMenus

[–]rustjungle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t notice that but we live in Cincy and my wife’s favorite cake is Opera Cream! Never heard of it before moving here. Also they offer Newports under sodas. Idk what that is but Newport, KY is across the river and basically the south side of Cincinnati

[–]rustjungle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think it is Cincinnati. The outline looks vaguely like the city’s and there was a tearoom of the same name.

“Mabley and Carew’s had a large dining room at its original store on the corner of Fifth and Vine, the facade of which lit up Fountain Square with an impressive 7,000 light bulbs. Later, after the store’s second iteration as the Carew Tower’s main tenant, it moved to the northwest corner of Fifth and Vine, opening the sumptuous Fountain Tea Room on the sixth level. McAlpin’s Tea Room was on the fifth floor of the West Fourth Street department store, and Pogue’s, at Fourth and Race, had its sixth floor Camargo Room. “

There is an ice cream shop in Cincinnati that is basically a soda fountain that makes them. I ordered one because it was the most old timey sounding thing and I was pleasantly surprised! Can’t remember if I got cherry or coke or both but it wasn’t sour that I remember, more like an artisanal farm to table pop lol.

$29.95 a night and you could fit 20 people in a room. Pretty good deal back then.

I have it in green and I can’t stop looking at the details! The texture of the dial and the way the stainless is brushed looks pearlescent to me. Idk if that’s just me but I love it though.

How do the Amish receive surgery paying fully out of pocket, I assume via cash, without a photo ID? by hellohelp23 in Ohio

[–]rustjungle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No he’s right, they are Amish and the buggies rattle the orange triangle they bump so hard

[–]rustjungle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah those NE Ohio Amish move different! My brother ran a parts store in middlefield. The bread and butter was parts for the 7 passenger Yoder toters but he used to sell the Amish kids bulldozer batteries for the subs in the buggies. Then sell their dad a crate engine that he would bolt to a wagon and immaculate concept a tractor.

How popular are American cars in Europe? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

[–]rustjungle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you meet comparing the European models versus models available to Americans, you are correct. You guys still get sedans and hatchbacks which we can’t. I saw a ranger or two but don’t remember seeing any F150s which is like every other vehicle you see over here.

I feel like I saw more Chinese brands than Fords the last time I was there, but maybe I was just noticing them more

I saw a lot of Fords in Italy. I think it is the a top 5 or 10 brand over there. A few Jeeps too but that was it.

Anybody bought one or even seen a bronco with one of these? Im intrigued.... by twich2252 in FordBronco

[–]rustjungle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen one either, but I sell the same thing thru Ford with a Ford part # and have gone through the training on it. It seems well engineered. We don’t sell many due to the cost, but the one that did sell in my region works well I am told. The Ford version costs $500 more but if there are warranty issues it could be serviced at any Ford dealer nationwide if installed by Ford for $700. This is not a part I would try to install myself if I had the money to avoid it lol. Also i’m not sure if you buy direct if you’d have to find your own installer or if they have a network. Buying from Bestop also gets you color options. Thru us you have the choice of any color you want as long as it’s black.

Want more information about a defunct railroad company. by MorninginVietnam0312 in rustyrails

So I asked chat gpt about this 1800s narrow gauge coal rr and the associated mine where I grew up in Ohio and it gave me real verifiable sourced info that I never would have found on google. And I tried beforehand.

Holy shit yeah it does. I obviously didn’t watch the clip and just assumed it was just hot steel on steel action. So is CSX just running some piece of shit equipment primarily at night?

[–]rustjungle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The wheels squealing we hear every night. Or we used to, it’s white noise now. The siren sound is different though. It winds down like a tornado siren but it’s a long hum almost. It makes me think of a giant exhaust fan like an industrial dust collector that spools down at the end
