I stand corrected. Yes, Alex a great guy and a good neighbor.I just saw the Sebastian's guy (name slipping my mind) sweeping the front sidewalk and picking up cig butts the other day. Few and far between anymore.

Interesting. Glen Crossing sure does seem to be flailing recently. Are there any plans to revitalize that area? Seems like Starbucks is the only place doing well around that area.The Panera Bread in Glenway Crossing has closed.
I guess that Dunkin would be near Race Road by the newer development?The former Bally's Fitness building on Werk Rd. is planned to be converted into--you guessed it--storage units. Details start on page 19 of this PDF: https://www.hamiltoncountyohio.gov/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=18134275
Page 1 of the PDF also mentions that at an upcoming meeting, there will be an item before the Rural Zoning Commission to allow a zoning change from residential to commercial for a Dunkin Donuts to be built on Harrison Ave in Green Township.
I haven't heard anything. I think the only reason that building was torn down is because the building was in such terrible shape Cheviot forced the owner to do it.Does anybody know what's happening at the old Frank's location in Cheviot?
I think they're building something there as we speak. Hopefully, it's not a dollar store.I haven't heard anything. I think the only reason that building was torn down is because the building was in such terrible shape Cheviot forced the owner to do it.
The property was sold this spring to "Takhar Investment LLC" which has a mailing address of 4365 Lisa Dr, Tipp City, OH 45371. According to Google, also located at that address is "N&G Takhar Oil LLC" and according to their website, they're a gasoline distributor. The old Frank's location is the only property that comes up in Hamilton County under the name "Takhar" but in Warren County the Takhar companies own a Marathon gas station in Mason and a Shell gas station in Franklin. So it looks like the old Franks will probably be a gas station.I think they're building something there as we speak. Hopefully, it's not a dollar store.
Hmm. That's interesting. Seems like a good spot for it. Wendell's is right next to that spot and I don't believe they've has pumps there for a decade or more.The property was sold this spring to "Takhar Investment LLC" which has a mailing address of 4365 Lisa Dr, Tipp City, OH 45371.

It was during the Jimmy Carter years when I tried to get my first part-time job. Unemployment was in double digits as well as inflation. I was lucky to start off at about $3.10/hour and was happy about it! Goofy as crap the way the country has totally turned into a welfare state where you get paid more not to work. I hope things turn around quickly! These small franchise businesses need good workers.Unemployment benefits are too high. Take a pay cut if you work.
Local HS/College Students expect to be Paid 20$/hr for slinging pizzas? If that’s truly the case, I’m not sure how that can be corrected.The Jets Pizza in Delhi has been closed due to staffing issues. What needs to happen to get this corrected? The pay expectations are way too high for an entry level job. Everyone wants $20/hr. Just crazy!
What States are still giving out Unemployment under the regular rules®ulations, not the Pandemic stuff? Ohio is not one of them. Max Unemployment in Ohio is still around 450$ a week?Unemployment benefits are too high. Take a pay cut if you work.
Adjusted for inflation, your $3.10/hr in 1970 is worth about $22.65/hr today.It was during the Jimmy Carter years when I tried to get my first part-time job.

If other entry level jobs are offering near $20/hr, why would any kid take a job at a pizza joint for like $12/hr plus tips?
My first actual paid job, besides mowing lawns, was umpiring knothole games as a freshman in high school. 20 bucks a game cash.I have a question for you all..........
What was your first part-time job in which you pulled your first pay check?
Mine was a bus boy, food runner, chef assist, etc. at the one and only Mohr's Buffet on the intersection of Glenway, Race Road, Bridgetown Road, Harrison Ave, (you all know which one I am talking about) way back when. I think it is now a Sherwin Williams paint store now correct?
The recession was in full swing back then and it was very difficult to find a part-time job back then.

If you are talking actual paycheck, then that was a bus boy in the restaurant at Deer Run Country Club.
They aren't working those jobs anymore because they have to get at least minimum wage. The companies like Murray that operate those rides cut every cost humanly possible and labor is definitely one place to cut cost and dodge paying taxes...... pay them under the table.At 13 I was making $1.95 an hour working as a gardener and heavy housecleaner. I was glad to have the job and four years later bought my first car with the cash I had saved. My kids run from 40 years old to 21. All five of them were working by the time they were 16 and two of them were doing so by the time they were 13. I have no idea why others in their generation and younger have no desire to work. We were at a farm festival a few weeks ago where Murray Brothers had some ride set up. Until recently those rides were set-up and ran by high school and college kids. Now they are run by Hispanic men in their twenties and thirties. I do not begrudge them working those jobs, but wonder, why aren't high school and college kids doing those jobs anymore.
BS. Minimum wage in 85 was $3.35.Adjusted for inflation, your $3.10/hr in 1970 is worth about $22.65/hr today.
