Design, Cincinnati-Style

- A week at Easter with the most glorious weather around, we headed towards Findlay's Market. Oh, I wish we had one up here in the mountains! Including the beloved Busken Bakery, Meat stands, fresh produce, seafood, and more, it's a treasure in the area known as Over-the-Rhine. The spice collections alone are worth the trip.

Then we headed for Ohio Bookstore. New, old, used, rare. 4 stories high. Drat, it closed at 4:45. Next time. Besides the normal restaurants, including Skyline Chili (the Greek Salad is amazing); and Graeter's Ice cream (thankfully now nationally distributed via Kroger/City Market!) we enjoyed Maribelle's on Riverside Drive, and the yummy Bangkok Bistro - so much bang for your buck.

Gaze at the amazing Cincinnati Public Library (downtown) - it's crazy to find little gems of architecture (either old or new) in the "Queen City". I look forward to checking out more of the sights, whether the Gwynne Building or the Union Terminal.
