We are having party on Saturday May 21st at our house with our car friends. 3pm until whenever.

Hopefully the weather will be great that day, we could do some cruising too if anyone would like.

If for some reason it wants to rain that day we will still have the party to visit with everyone, but it will just be indoors.

Everyone bring a little side dish or dessert to share. We will be grilling Metts, Bratts, & Hamburgers, and drinks will be provided.

By the way, we have driveway parking for at least 10-15 cars (15 if we cover sidewalks).

We hope to see you there!

Mike Sells are OK, but Grippos are the king and made right around the corner from my house!

It is time for some serious disclosure. At 117 years of age, most people don't seem to care where someone is from. They care more about where they are going to!

In any case, a little known fact is that I am from Cincinnati and used to live in a hamlet called Amberly Village (prior to the tract houses and the the sidewalks).

Hearing about them vittles makes my innards start to twitch as I remember oh so well both Skyline and Empress. If someone is bringing Graders (sp) for desert I might just have to fire up the racing machine and head on out to Cin City.

One the serious side of things, I find it interesting that there is such a large contingency of Prowler owners in the Cincinnati area as I also own a Delorean and they too have a large representation in the City of Cin.

I gotta run as I am headed down to the beach to participate in the suffers triathlon and chase the young fresh stuffs. They sorta count on me to provide them with the encouragement to contniue to particpate in body building events as they see my supple and fit body.

Dew Drop gave me a four hour hall pass and I gotta take advantage of the opportunity. Afterwards, I'm a gonna eat a Hungry Man TV dinner and watch the re-runs of the Lone Ranger. I just love that Tonto and Silver.

Good luck with your shin dig in Cincinanti and, if you get some extra vittles, pack them up and send them to the Old Man in California.

It's very nice of you to issue such an open invitation - reflective of the GREAT people on this site.

I must comment, however, on your "marketing" approach to this year's event. As a communications executive, I spend much of my time trying to lure people TO events.

The photo in the bottom right contains an image that - to some - may actually DETER them from attending.

Discretion prevents me from mentioning any names. But take a close look. Who is that guy, and what is he doing at your house?

Granted, I have never met this unnamed gentleman, but if legend is true, well, let's just say I won't be coming this year.

In short, that you for your hospitality and your generosity.

And, in closing, let me say that I'm found dead in an alley some time during the Dells event, I know if a certain Cincinatti resident who may be the prime suspect!!!

(P.S. Just pulling your chain, Ed. Looking forward to a GREAT time in the Dells!)

I used to live at 2590 Section Road which is near Fair Oaks Drive I think. That is in the older part of the area.

The Country Club, I believe was called Crest Hills and I actually belonged to it. It moved from Reading Road near Swifton Village, a Shopping Center, to Amberely Village in about 1970.

Henry Rollman Jr. was a year or two younger than me and went to school with me. I remember the Estate and those were some nice homes.

I also remember Rollman's Department Store before it was sold. It too was in Swifton Village Shopping Center across the street from Crest Hills Country Club and Woodward High School on Reading Road.

You see, I really am from the area.

Thanks for the update.

mettwurst = metts Pronunciation: MET-wurst OR MET-vursht Notes: At least two kinds of sausages answer to the name mettwurst. People in Cincinnati use the name to describe a kielbasa-like sausage that's made with beef and pork, seasoned with pepper and coriander, and smoked. They like to grill it and serve it on a bun. Elsewhere, mettwurst is soft like liverwurst and ready to eat. It's usually spread on crackers and bread. Substitutes: kielbasa (for Cincinnati's mettwurst) OR bratwurst (for Cincinnati's mettwurst) OR teewurst (for spreadable mettwurst)
