What started out as the Dixie Tea Room (left) later became the Greyhound Grill at then end
of the trolley line. You know it as the Greyhound Tavern. You can read the history of the
Greyhound - and their menu - at their site: here. These two pics are from that site.

  From a Facebook post by Lesa-Rennee Williams    
Retschulte's operated a restaurant on the south-western corner of Dixie and Turkeyfoot under a variety of names.  Originally the Five Mile House, its name was changed in 1921 to Dixie Inn, but later changed to just Retschulte's, the proprietor's name.  It later became Barleycorns.

That's the Greyhound Grill to the left, c. 1960. from a Facebook post at Old Photos of Northern Kentucky The original Fort Mitchell Frisch's (Frisch's sixth overall location), opened in October 1, 1952. They moved to the new building on the right in 1965, and eventually abandoned the site because of the lack of room for a drive in, and a salad bar.
