Stacy and Gulia

If Friday night showcased a 75 year old, then Saturday answered with two young friends fifty years younger. Stacy, my old Russian teacher visited from Chicago. Here she is with Gulia who stayed with us for the last couple of months.

Robin and Kristina

Where would we all go dinner with Stacy's energetic daughter? To Sis's Family Affair On Monmouth St. in Newport. Kristina got to sprinkle salt on the floor (and in the grates) so the dancers could slide across the floor and then she went from table to table offering potato chips. Robin is the new barmaid. She is not a bit shy either.

Outside Sis's

Happy customers along with Clay the proprietor.

Schwartz's Point

This weekend we got an invitation to hear an old friend of ours, Eileen Brownfield, perform at Ed Moss's jazz club, here at his building, Schwartz's Point, in the heart of Over-the-Rhine.

Schwartz's Point

Help! I need my fact checker. Schwartz's Point was originally a pharmacy(?). I have been up to the attic and all the original clockworks are still intact. There are all types of wild unchanged details throughout the building like the trapdoor that opens to the winding steps to the basement.

The grand entrance to the Jazz Club. Roof and door have recently been painted.
