At first, I thought this was some sort of prank: the signs are almost too official-looking with their Modern pedestrian icons, arrows and distances. So, basically these are instructions for how to use the sidewalk, right?

New Year’s Eve at The Rake’s End

Recently, I’ve developed this strong distaste for going to bars on what we call “Amateur’s Nights”. You know what I’m talking about… St. Patty’s, New Year’s Eve, Cinco De Mayo… nights were people who rarely go out to bars descend upon them in droves.

Me, I’m [...]

Halloween and RHPS in Cincinnati

How do you see Cincinnati?

I visited Bellevue Hill Park in Clifton the other day with a couple of friends.  As a first-timer, I found the view absolutely beautiful. The sky was crisp, clear, and we had that great fall weather that makes everything that much more enjoyable. Looking at Cincinnati from another perspective was inspiring. Not only do I [...]
