Lots of Germans moved to Cinci and Louisville. We have one part of the city called German Town. It's an older area, but when mostly Germans lived there it was the neatest and cleanest part of the city despite being of some age. I remember as I kid running into adults who spoke German or had the accent. Not any more.

you can literally eat off the floors in germany…..best farmers in europe (why we brought them here and gave them land)…. never ceased to amaze me how straight their plows were way before GPS…

There's a part of Columbus, Ohio called German Village. A lot of the kids I grew up with had names like Bauer and Schmidt.

most folks over here in the states don’t realize the extent of german influence in our culture and genetic makeup

And the English language.

Great pics!!! That town is just north of the Black Forest area where I have family (Roth) from.

Very nice beer I had recently on my wife's and my 10th anniversary.

My mom drank Manhattans! lol Long before I was of age she'd send out on my Sting-Ray bike to the liquor store to get her wiskey and vermouth. Those really were the days.

That is pretty funny, Scott!

My uncle had to travel for International Harvester in the 70s as and engineer and trouble shooter, and he said there were no dirty streets (among other things). People took pride in their area and if trash was in front of their house or business they picked it up and didn't wait for someone else to do it. Same here in German Town area. The same small houses of equal age in other parts of town looked rundown and those in G-town literally looked new. Self-respect and not afraid of work...and work had to be done right.

you’d be surprised how many villages like these still thrive (in german) between chile and argentina, some until recently only accessible via rail…

So each one on the committee threw one letter each on the table and there it was?

I'm sure the name actually means something to the chemically enlightened. Not as in the 60s and 70s chemically enlightened.

Yes, it was, all drugs are legal here in Peru in small quantities for personal possession and we have a fraction of the problems of the U.S.
