[ March 7, 2009; ] The Cinciditarod is a wacky shopping cart race through the city. It’s named in tribute to the Alaskan Iditarod – a brutal 1,100-mile dog-sledding race – but instead of dogs, it’s people; instead of sleds, it’s shopping carts; and instead of Alaska, it’s Cincinnati.
…While physically attached to their grocery carts, teams push through a nearly [...]
It looks like Cincinnati Santacon 2008 did not disappoint. Dozens of boozing Santas hit Fountain Square and surrounding areas. Hey, can you spot the Santa in black? It’s like black Spider-Man.
You can see all pictures from Santacon on Zipscene.

I really like the title, "Living In Someone’s Game," over on CinciPulse.com, about the mysterious spray-painted street markings that appeared briefly on central streets recently.

Design firm FRCH Worldwide staged a flash mob of sorts on Fountain Square. The goal was to film it occurring and use the video for their annual holiday greeting. You can see the raw video below. You can also see some photos of the event on the company’s Flickr.

The Red Bull Soapbox Race was back in October. Man, was it crowded. We arrived fairly early, and still couldn’t really get a decent view. Fortunately, some of the people up front left as the race went on, allowing us to take a sideline spot.

[ October 4, 2008; 1:00 pm; ] On October 4, Red Bull Soapbox Race will come screeching into Cincinnati’s Mount Adams area as 40 teams put their skills to the test driving homemade human-powered soapbox cars down the urban 1/4-mile “track”. They’ll be challenged with steep descents, turns, and ultimately, the clock as they strive for soapbox stardom and a place at [...]
Well, if you were like me, you didn’t make it out of the office at all during Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day 2008. I heard that all of the PARK[ing] spots were north of Central, with only one exception – at 5th and Walnut – right smack in the middle of the CBD!
This PARK[ing] spot lasted [...]
[ September 19, 2008; ] I have heard about PARK[ing] Day in other cities somewhere before. So imagine my delight when I came across Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day scheduled for next month (I’m always the last to know)!
From the Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day blog:
“Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day” call for entries (Posted: Aug. 6, 2008) — Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day announces a call to citizens [...]
