It's July People!!!

As a Cincinnati native, I've attended several "Octoberfest Zinzinnati" celebrations. Three blocks long right in the middle of downtown Cincinnati for 3 days. This year, its September 19-21. Many years ago, German immigrants settled in Cincinnati north of the Central Canal (now Central Parkway). That area was soon known as "Over the Rhine". They brewed beer and kept it cold in caves dug into the hills above the downtown area. Sam Adams brewery is making their several branded beers in the traditional way that those Germans did, except for the caves. One of my several summer lobs from college was at Schoenling Brewery. There also was Hudepohl, Burger and Moerlein, to name a few. When I started college at Univ. of Cincinnati in 1964, There was still a german language daily newspaper.
BTW, us natives will often say "Please?" when we misunderstand what you said. It's because the Germans say "Bitte?", short for please repeat.
