It reminded me of the two other nonuments that I know of, perhaps the two best examples of them.  These are the two restaurants in the parking lot of Cincinnati Mills mall, which was featured in a Queen City Discovery post.  Here’s the one which was a former Roadhouse Steakhouse or something.

Could turn it into condos I guess.

Segway Of Ohio conducts 90-minute tours around Eden Park on their unique two-wheeled transportation devices.  Have fun tooling around the park while learning from an experienced guide.

Much appreciation should go to the city Park Board.

Cincinnati Park Board Director Willie F. Carden Jr., whom I’ve noticed likes to innovate in order to make things better, gave Jenkins the go ahead to roam Segway-mounted through the city’s parks. He also provided a closet to put them in at Eden Park, with an electrical outlet to charge them. For free.

Below is the tour brochure, and a 4:35 long video.

Dance breaks out on Fountain Square

Just after 12:30 p.m., as the song “Bop ‘Til You Drop” by the Nylons blared from the square’s loud speakers, a few people emerged from the lunchtime crowd and began dancing.

More joined in. Then more, until about 150 people – some wearing suits, some in T-shirts and jeans – were moving to the music in unison on the southern edge of the square.

Then as suddenly as it began, it was over. The song ended. The dancers dispersed. Fountain Square was back to normal.

Read the Enquirer article, and watch the video below.

After a successful 2008 PARK(ing) Day in Cincinnati, it hopes to be even bigger this year!  Mark you calendars.  On Friday, September 18, 2009, creative types from all over the region will descend upon downtown and OTR to reclaim some of the parts of our concrete jungle dedicated to the automobile — at least for a day.

San Francisco art collective REBAR first created “PARK(ing)” in 2005 to re-imagine the potential of the metered parking space. In 2006, it went global.

For details, check out the Cincinnati PARK(ing) Day blog, and follow @CincyPkgDay (Cincy Package Day?) on Twitter.

Before there was Las Vegas… there was Newport, KY.

Jerry Gels and his cohort have put together one of the more original attractions in the region.  A presentation and walking tour of Newport, KY, once the real sin city of America. 

Rising from the profits of bootlegging, Newport would quickly grow to become the premier gaming destination in the US.  Walk the streets where gangsters made their millions, gamblers lost their lives, and ladies of the night earned their living.  See the buildings that housed casinos, brothels, and speakeasies.  Explore Newport’s connection to some of the most well known crime figures in our country’s history, and discover the individuals who gave the town its infamous reputation.

Originally, this was a one-time event, I believe.  But due to popular demand, they are now offering the tour every Saturday for the next few months.  Check out details on schedule, tickets, and a short Fox19 news feature video over on the website, http://www.newportgangsters.com.

Jacques Munkey writes to us about National Soul Patch Day on May 29th.  (I guess any buffoon can declare a National anything day on the internets.)

What is National Soul Patch Day?  Well, besides the newest, best holiday, it is also a contest with real prizes (well, real t-shirts)!

The soul patch is the very foundation of unshaven awesome. That’s why it’s my choice for getting the most bang for my self-expression buck.

The time has come for everyone to experience this kind of cool. WonderGroup is declaring May 29th “National Soul Patch Day.” To inaugurate this auspicious day, we’re holding a Soul Patch Contest.

There’s not much time!  Facial hair comes more slowly for some of us than for others. For more information, read The Soul Patch Contest Details.  You can also follow Messr. Munkey on Twitter and Facebook.

This is a rare opportunity for the right person or persons to purchase a fully operational and well established profitable nudist resort. The current owners are retiring and wish to speak only with serious minded buyer(s) who would wish to maintain or improve on this outstanding facility.

I’m thinking birthday gift.

So where does Cincinnati come into all this?  In one of his videos (Video #3, “I’m New”), he uses a dude in a Cincinnati sweatshirt freestylin’ out.  Sweet.

Watch that video below.  Then go to THRU YOU to watch the rest.
