I will be in Cincinnati July 17-20. What should I do with my Evenings?

You’re just a short, four-hour drive away from Cleveland. You could visit the birthplace of Ukulele Ike. And have a platter of ribs at the Tick-Tock Tavern. And mail a bottle of their BBQ sauce to me here in Brooklyn.

Man, are you still floggin’ that horse? I’ll take this as a personal challenge–I’m off next Friday to taste their wares. You’d better be correct about this one. And I cut you no slack just because you ate there last in 1975.

This in no way obviates your appreciation of John Thorne. Of course, you and I are the only ones who know about which I speak.

I went there 20 years ago. Their idea of ribs and mine weren’t the same. But don’t take that as a review.

Don’t forget to order the sauerkraut balls.

As an appetizer.

First the sauerkraut balls, then the spare ribs.

And plenty of Stroh’s.

I apologize for hijacking this thead, but anything you can get in Cinci was stolen from Cleveland.

Ukulele Ike & **samclem **: Well, apologies to those that live near Cincinnati, but I would actually rather go to Cleveland. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a place I would like to visit one day.

Sounds perfect, I will not have a lot of time to burn and it is relatively near the Hotel I am staying at.

Thank you all,
Jim
