Price Hill Saloons and Much, Much More! - Paperback

by Larry "Froggy" Schmolt (Author)

Over the years, Price Hill, perhaps more than any other neighborhood in the Queen City, has been home to a large number of saloons. Germans, Irish, and other nationalities found places to congregate and talk about the news of the day while drinking beer. The ownership of these saloons was often passed down from generation to generation. That was also the case for those who frequented these establishments-sons following in their fathers' footsteps to the nearest welcoming watering hole. Larry Schmolt is a lifelong resident of Price Hill. He grew up on Purcell Avenue and still lives in the same house on Rutledge Avenue where he and his wife settled in 1952. Over the years, Larry has served his community in many ways. He was President of the Price Hill Civic Club for ten years, during which time he was instrumental in founding the Price Hill Historical Society. And for the past five years, Larry has served as the Coordinator of the Price Hill Historical Society and Museum.
