Local restaurant write-up/review
This summer, try the chilled espresso cocktail at 1215 Wine Bar & Coffee Lab
Excerpt:
The friendly bartender explained the drink to us: espresso, Baileys, Kahlua, Tito’s, and—the thing that makes it shine above the rest—house-made dark chocolate mocha.
We immediately ordered two and tasted it for ourselves. Let me tell you. The boldness of the espresso mixed with the sweet creaminess is a perfect balance. It's smooth, cold, and does a delicious chocolatey dance on the tongue. But the sweetness isn't overpowering.

The Terrifying Alien Encounter at Disney World
Excerpt:
The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was a darkly humorous experience that used binaural sound to achieve many of its effects. It was a team effort between Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm, which was not yet a part of the Walt Disney Company.
The ride closed down in 2003. Apparently, it was far too frightening for children. Park officials placed a warning sign outside the ride to let parents know that it was appropriate for ages 12 and up. But parents still took their little kids in. And then parents constantly complained that their children had been traumatized.
I was one such child.
Community events, Pride month, things to do
Activist artists raise their voices along Cincinnati's Wasson Way trail
Excerpt:
The messaging along the city's new bike path is clear. Be kind to everyone. Raise your voice to change the world for the better. Lift others up. End racism.
It all resonates, and it's all very relevant. I'm happy to say that it's also playing out in reality—not just in pretty artwork. Last month on June 30, the city hosted a Pride Parade on Wasson Way, and the turnout was incredible.
Live theatre review and promo
Outdoor Theater at Its Best in Blue Ash
Excerpt:
The Broadway Showcase is a new endeavor as the group pivots and adjusts to how the pandemic has hit all members of the arts community. The hope is to raise some of the money the theater has lost during the shutdown with a smaller production—but one that packs just as much of a punch when it comes to fun and entertainment.
It’s a totally different vibe from their usual big sets and elaborate costumes, but the intimate setting only enhances the vocal performances, and the professional-level sound crew, lighting team, and performers make it a must-see.
