Sin-Sin Natti

So I was all up in the Cincinnati this week. After three days, I have pretty mixed feelings about the whole ordeal.

First off, CVG is actually in Kentucky. From what I hear, the best parts of Cincinnati are also in Kentucky (colloquially known as Cincitucky). It was part quaint collegy bar town and part Baltimore ghetto. It sorta reminded me of a less sprawling, not quite so industrial Milwaukee.

Evening 1 - arrive at hotel, shocked to find a Springhill Suite that is in awesome conditions. Showers have three faucets, one main head and two jets, eat your hear out bitches. No room service/restaurant, who needs it - full bar. nice.

Leave hotel, go to college bar area. Quaint restaurants, boutiques, and bars. Pizza at The Tavern on the Hill - pretty good food for a place that is bumpin' Brothers-style. Sleep.

Day 2 - work 14 hours. Dinner at Mitchell's Seafood Market at Newport on the Levee (Newport, aka Cincitucky). Crab cake and shrimp - that's what ohio does. Not bad, tried a Cincinnati local brew, some sort of amber, nothing to write home about.

Day 3 - sorta get lost on way to work. Stop to pull out GPS and get back on track. Stage left, a hooker enters. "Boy, whatchoo doin'?" Silence. "Roll on boys. ROLL ON." I roll up the window and quickly drive out. Work again. Dinner at Skyline Chili, apparently world famous chili chain in Cincinnati. I mean, it was pretty sweet, chili on f'ing everything - dogs, fries, salad. I went with the standard 4. Served on noodles, like Old Fashioned - interesting?

Day 4 - last day at work, verify directions prior to departure to ensure there won't be another hooker incident. Work more, then drive to airport. Shift/flight time don't align well - 3 hours til departure. Food at Max and Erma's in CVG. Reuben, mmmhhh. Tried a local Kentucky beer, again, nothing to write home about.

I'd consider going back sometime. My favorite part was driving into the city. From the airport, the country is like the rest of Kentucky or Tennessee, it's a pretty drive. The city itself is pretty cool driving into, especially over the bridge from the airport.

good times. shout out to the hooker.
