What financial crisis?


We want slides!!!

According to the Enquirer:

"On Memorial Day weekend, Coney Island will open what president Vic Nolting calls “the biggest single project we’ve done” at the pool – a $2 million, four-slide structure that nearly triples the length of its predecessor."

What they don't mention is the 98% chance of you contracting a flesh-eating bacteria by spending more than five minutes at Sunlite Pool. (Is that harsh?)

High and Low: Beer vs. Steamboats


Welcome to a new feature we call High and Low, where we round up recent news stories and pick two, one that makes us feel so very happy/high, and one that makes us feel very, very low.

High: Hudy Delight is back in cans, and available at Burbank's for $1!
The best way ever to rack up your "oh, I totally eat local all the time" points?

Low: Cincinnatians will cry over a steamboat, but are taking forever to make this streetcar thing happen.
Right, because it's 1898?

Score (yet another) one for Kenwood...

The first sentence in this story says it all:

"Tower Place has signed a dollar store to occupy the mall’s high-profile corner location, a spot once controlled by The Gap."

Also, once controlled by creepy cut-out, larger-than-life images of men, women, and children shopping in over-the-top generic preppy clothing. (You guys noticed those too, right?)

Get Excited Cincinnati!

Remember those great times you and your friends had at the lunch buffet and getting crazy at the Rookwood Bar and Restaurant in Mt. Adams?! 

Oh wait, us neither.

But holla! Another restaurant is opening that same space you never went to in the first place. 

Some Bengal, (safety Chinedum Ndukwe, whoever that is), and some other folks looking to sink money into a black hole, are going to reopen the Celestial Street eatery. 

Obviously the Bengals (0-7) have been getting crunk there before games. See you there! 




It's a new day
