Close up of Ehrlich's shoes sign:

[Where: 1600 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202] nec Liberty and Main UPDATE I originally made this blog post in August 2009. Over past few years I have been contacted by people who used to shop here, and by the Ehrlich family. Below is a great picture sent in by the family. In the photo is Emil and Otto Ehrlich in July 1943. The photo was sent in by Otto's son, Ron. Thanks Ron

Ehrlich's Shoes was my grandfather's shoe store. He and his brother inherited it from their father, Emil Ehrlich. The store was opened in 1893 and Emil's family lived above the store. Eventually, the family moved out of the valley and up to Mt. Auburn. I believe the shoe store remained opened into the 1960's.
