Posted March 21, 20223 yr Took a road trip this weekend to celebrate a BFF's 50th birthday in Cincinnati. Thanks to Ultimate Air Shuttle's halting operations (restarting in April), instead of a 40-minute flight to Cincinnati we had a several hour drive and a layover in Columbus. All in all it wasn't a bad trip but I was painfully reminded that unlike the Cleveland-Columbus leg - I-71 between Columbus and Cincinnati has a painfully long stretch that's only two lanes wide. That said, here are the photos (Cleveland shots are from St. Patrick's Day, cross-posted in the random photos thread): One day it'd be great to see that gap between LeVeque and William Green filled in. The new Hilton expansion is rather handsome. It was cool to see the arches lit in support of Ukraine. View from Lincoln Social - no tripod so excuse the quality. The bulk of the tower is alright but that tiara 😏 Imho, it's not a trip to Cincinnati without a stop at The Orchids at Palm Court. This block could use some TLC but easy to see the potential. Not sure why but when I upload photos here, they're rarely in the order I'm hoping for. Ah well - photos of OTR and the morning after (sun was out, temps were a little brisk) Tafts, brewery in a former church. OTR - would you Cincy forumers mind if I snagged some of these to fill in spots in Cleveland? 😁 Lincoln in Lytle Park. Tafts - out of order but you get the idea. Phelps - Residence Inn - home away from home. Rooftop bar wasn't open unfortunately. Christ Church Cathedral and First Financial Center (formerly Chemed Center) Did I hear someone say Western & Southern is planning something for this site? Another block needing TLC - if Cincinnati doesn't need them, we'll take them! 😁 Scripps - not my favorite of the post moderns. Covington and the Roebling Bridge. Not going to lie - I love the Poke Nachos at Yard House. Cincinnati's City Club apartments. Another "if Cincinnati doesn't want it..." 😉 Ahh, after the soul-sucking drive through whatever those counties were, this was a sight for sore eyes. Next trip to Cincinnati, hoping to see this from several thousand feet up 😁 clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

Otherwise, great shots! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
March 22, 20223 yr you know how you have dreams and most of the time you forget them right away? i once had a dream about getting up and singing at the cinci palm court for some friends. i woke up pretty confused, for one thing because i can't sing a note. i dk why that one stuck, but it did. 😂 anyway, thanks for the trigger -- and the grand ohio tour -- so much going on in columbus!
