Summer Sticks in the Mud
Adventure races thrill, challenge weekend warriors
0 Comments · Thursday, June 14, 2012
For many folks, first-person video games
offer all the thrills they need. But others crave the tactile realness
of an actual obstacle course with knotted ropes to climb, mud pits to
crawl through and walls to be surmounted. The typical ingredients of
adventure races include a military-style course, a river of mud and
whatever torture tests a perverse mind can conjure. Throw in a small
legion of weekend warriors and you’ve got yourself a fresh baked
adventure — or a hot mess, depending on your point of view.

10 reasons Cincinnati is greener than you think
1 Comment · Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Cincinnatians just love to joke about
that old, clichéd quip often attributed to Mark Twain: “When the end of
the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it’s always 20 years
behind the times.” The colloquialism is used to exemplify anything
considered remotely backward, from legislation to fashion to potholes.
Signs of life, though, are sprouting up around the city like a canary
dandelion through a crack in the cement.

Hotel bars offer an interesting break from normal nightspots
0 Comments · Wednesday, February 29, 2012
There’s nothing wrong with hitting up
your standby local drinkery, but it’s not always appealing to run into
every old high school jock, boss or college nemesis when you’re just out
hoping for a good time. Luckily, there’s a solution outside of drinking
home alone. Hotel bars are oft-unappreciated gems
with staffs engrossed with hospitality.
