    Not to the point where I'll watch reruns of 2019 games yet... but it may simply be a matter of time.

    I've gone to watching the greatest Cleveland Indians games on STO, last night the Cleveland Sunday Night Baseball comeback vs Lou Pinella and the Seattle Mariners.

    Tonight three great Indians playoff games.

    ........oh please come back football, we miss you !    😍

    Ex In-laws used to live in Blue Ash(?) IIRC... about 20 traffic-free minutes or so up the interstate from downtown.

    Saw a few games in old Riverfront in the late 70s and 80s. The baseball was good, but the Brats and Hudys were better.

    I work a few miles away from Blue Ash, which is one of the nicer (richer) suburbs of Cincy.

    Riverfront was a dump, but I think you'd enjoy catching a game at GABP. I know the Indians come down here for Interleague play every year; i've been to several Reds-Indians games. I've also been to a couple Reds-Astros games, but that was before the Astros switched to the AL. Haven't been to a Reds-Rangers game at all.

    I never noticed that... 😉

    Ex-Dad-in-law was a biggish wig with Allied Chemical where he "fixed" broken plants... Day 1 arrive and fire Plant Manager... Day 2 figure out who else needs to be fired type stuff.

    He retired early to study Industrial Hygiene at U of C. At the time he was certified he was one of only a thousand or so in the nation. He joined Sloan-Kettering as an Adjunct Professor and mostly did field work consulting with small Ohio businesses who couldn't afford a full-time IH person.

    He was a gruff, intense, WWII vet (part of the German occupation force and survivor of a torpedoed troop transport). He loved food and would sweat when he ate... he loved dark beer... He passed maybe 20 years ago...

    I miss him.

    GABP was a pretty good place to catch a game. I didn't like it as much as Progressive Field or PNC Park, but it still is a nice park. Great location. Surprisingly great spicy mustard! (Unlike PNC, which only has generic yellow mustard). Biggest surprise was that Big Boy's has concession stands in GABP. Big Boy is a thing of the past here in NE Ohio, but they are still kicking down near Cincinnati. Stayed downtown, really enjoyed my time there. (2018)

    I knew Manner's was long gone, but doesn't seem that long ago that I stopped at what looked to be a new Kip's(?) somewhere around Youngstown. Maybe 7 years ago?

    There used to be a Kippie's  restaurant chain....but as far as I know they have been gone around here since the 80s.  Don't know if there is a holdover there in Y-town.

    It's like Isaly's....thought they were long gone,  but one hung around forever in Stow.  Not sure if it is still there or not.

    None in the Youngstown/Warren area that I know of.

    Ohio has always been a good test area for franchises, new foods, etc.   Has to do with the Midwest style and tastes.  Also big in call centers because of our "non-accent" area desired by companies......no kidding.

    Yes, I guess.  In fact, there was call center that took up an entire floor of the building where I had my office for years, before I shut it down.

    Was it your diet?  Should have tried less gassy food.

  • Meanwhile I'm watching the STO replay of the 1997 ALCS Cleveland in Baltimore followed by cruse-in car shows and Monday morning 7am Cleveland Indians replays Begin again.

    Retro sports is here!

    I have no clue what you are talking about.   I was referring to a call center in my building.
