Why I'm Supporting FC Cincinnati
Our first meeting had gone well, but there was something different about our second meeting, the one at Rhinehaus. I left work in the suburbs and headed downtown to park. I walked through the Over-The-Rhine, the ever-evolving historical neighborhood on the edge of downtown, with streetcar tracks under my feet and skyscrapers in the distance. I walked into the bar on the corner Clay and 12th, greeted by friends both old and new. We sipped good beer, introduced each other and it was clear: we're going to be a part of something special. Not just a new pro sports team with bold ambitions, but a community that champions the team, the sport and the city we love.
Monster Trucks at the Gardens
January might as well have been "Monster Truck Month" in Cincinnati. For three weekends straight, the Cincinnati market was saturated with three different touring circuits of over-sized pickup trucks that drive around and crush cars. Last week there as an event at the US Bank Arena downtown, next week there's one at the Bank of Kentucky Center on NKU's campus, but this week there were monster trucks at the best arena in town: the Cincinnati Gardens.
