I have enjoyed this thread immensely and would like to second the White Castle and Trader Joes nominations. I am surprised that some of the Cincinnatians did not suggest Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. I'm currently near Dayton and travel to southern Indiana on a regular basis and always try to arrange lunch or dinner time breaks, with a quick exit off of I275. It would provide stiff competition for Bone Fish Grill. Tough to mention food and the Cincinnati area without a second also to Cincinnati chili - grew up on it at the original Skyline on Glenway Ave. We'll be full timers after mid-summer so preparation for my wife's hobby - eating out - needs to kick into high gear. Just noticed 50 degrees in TV and we are single digits and in a snow travel advisory so summer can't get here too soon. St Charles here we come....:cold:

How about a Winter Clothing & Accessory Shop? A shop that sells warm jackets, shoes, mittens, hats. Ice skates, sleds, snow shovels, salt for the ice etc.?? Sorry I couldnt resist :1rotfl:.

Back to the original thread....so many great ideas from everyone, I've enjoyed reading them. :thumbup:

What? Only 2 votes for a good pizza place? I though pizza was one of life's staples. Either people have had their tastebuds desensitized and are accepting what is offered around here as "pizza" or they have found something which we have not yet found - a good place for pizza. If the later, where are they?

This thread prompted my local search for a good Greek pizza-pie (see Takis review), we've been craving a good pizza since moving to TV a little over a month ago...suffice it to say, our search will continue.
PS. we had an ongoing similar search for the best burgers when living up in MA. and never really found that ultimate burger...so we may resume that search down here also. Maybe that's what TV needs; a great burger & pizza joint - no elaborate menu with 100 choices, simply the best burgers & pizza around.

Heavenly Ham
 
Isn't there a Heavenly Ham in the Shopping Center at 441and Rolling Acres?
How about Red Robin? Best burgers by far.
Baja Fresh, great fresh Mexican food.

Imax would be great, too. Would beat driving an hour and a half to Orlando, which I am doing tomorrow.

Needed intv
 
:coolsmiley:Another vote for Trader Joe's and a great fast food, semi authentic "Mexican" like "Baja Fresh".

WCDANCR 01-09-2010 02:02 PM

Yes, dance shoes are at "All about Feet" but expensive and cobbler does lousy work

golf2140 01-09-2010 08:10 PM

We need a Tony Luke's, South Philadelphia cheese steak joint.

Red Robin in Massachusetts has a great burger....Five guys here has a great burger!! Still haven't found a pizza that I like here. Dominoes(which isn't very good) would be an improvement over any pizza here!! Please Please someone open a good pizza place!!!:22yikes:
