Bramble Ave, Madisonville

Bramble Ave is on the southeast edge of Madisonville. It begins at Erie Ave, runs through Madison Place and ends at the edge of Mariemont. Along the way you'll see mostly single and multi-family buildings. Most of them have been around for a while, but they are pretty well maintained.

Bramble has always had a small business area that's changed a lot over the years. It's located on a section of the street that intersects with Whetsel Ave. Several businesses have come and gone, but there are always a few replacements trying to make a go of it. There's an an auto repair shop, a few bars, a hair salon and several other small businesses. A few commercial buildings in this little strip are usually unoccupied, but they are still pretty well maintained.

Bramble Ave is minutes away from Madison Rd. where you'll find several small stores and a bank. It's equally close to the Red Bank Expressway shopping/fast food/business area. A little further to the west is Oakley and Hyde Park shopping/dining areas.

For recreation Bramble Park is just east of the street's little business strip. There you'll find picnic and play areas and baseball fields. It's not far from Stewart Park and the Madisonville Recreation Center. Madison Bowl is 5 minutes away.

There are several schools and churches in the area and Christ Hospital has an emergency medical location on Red Bank.
