On occasions Grampa would make me
a Cincinnati . at home mind you, not at the tavern.
. . . not at the tavern reeled in his ear how times have changed a boy sipping a cold root beer in a
tavern beside his father
but for that matter he
remembered picking up cartons of cigarettes for his father at the Clark station
on Touhy owner knew his dadknew him a simple transaction same asif he was buying a fivecent candy bar
A Cincinnati Dad
I don know what tha
is
Sure you do.
I don this is the first I can say yave mentioned it
That can’t be right.
Whose memory ya willin to trus .
.
.
. Yours yours, sorry . . thought I would
have said earlier, it was delicious, a foamy head, crazy sweet, cold.
Was it known as a Cincinnati
around the city
That’s what it was called in the
neighborhood, I couldn’t say for elsewhere.
So what is it
Grandpa poured halfglass of
lager the reminder with Dad’s root beer, it was brewed not three blocks from the
house, had a root beer garden too.
No kiddin wha a delightful memory I appreciate you sharing
You’re welcome, it was quite a treat,
as I said, on occasion.

Thought you were somebody I knew from
Cincinnati.
belligerent drunk the man goes to
stand up saying Nobody tells me I look like I’m from Cincinnati . .
Madigan shoved him back down into the
booth Be quiet and drink your milk.
