Don't Tell Me That There's Nothing To Do In Cincy

Today my brother and I decided to just go and hang out today and take a walk through Cincinnati. He and I drove down to Eden Park, and sat up to talk about the "good ol' days." I said to him, "hey lets walk down to Friendship Park down on the river."

Mt. Adams
"The Heels at Hatch & Louden"
We began our voyage to Friendship Park and took a detour through Mt. Adams to check out the beautiful houses, and walk past the bars, and see the art from the local art shows for the weekend. There were so many people out just looking at the art work and hanging out at the local bars and pubs along St. Gregory.

Friendship Park
We made our way to the city and then to Friendship Park were we walked and spoke of the days when our dad would take us there to feed the ducks at the river. While sitting at the river we heard live Jazz and Salsa music coming from Newport on the Levee.

We then decided to walk across the Purple People Bridge to check out what was going on. Apparently the Jazz Fest is in town. I'm not sure how well it was advertised because there were few people that paid for admissions. We walked around Newport and even got to see a man dressed like a robot doing a performance within the Newport AMC shopping center. There were little groups of people performing for cash, while there were many people walking around, socializing, and simply enjoying the atmosphere.

Downtown Cincinnati
Fountain Square
 We walked another bridge back to Downtown Cincinnati, surrounded by Reds fans dressed in Red for the game. In great admiration of the City buildings, we made our way to the Carew Tower to go to the lower floor food court to buy some Cajun Cuisine. From the Carew tower we walked to through Fountain Square where there was a live Jazz band performing on the stage. From there we walked passed Mynt Martini were I saw a buddy and a large crowd inside. It looked like a very fun atmosphere. We made our way up Walnut Street and passed the Arnoff Center where the Opera is this weekend. We walked up east 8th street to gilbert and finally back to Eden park. There is no way that you can tell me that there is never anything to do in Cincinnati.
