readers, there’s a zero percent chance that everything in this guide
will pique your interest, because “cool” means something different to
everyone. Take the time to find what does.
After one of the best summers for music in Cincinnati in a
long time, autumn is going to have to offer up a lot of cool musical
happenings to avoid season envy. Luckily for those of us who live and
love Greater Cincinnati, it appears the momentum of the summer is
definitely going to carry over.
“Pretentious” is a dirty word — we call it an effort to
be perceived favorably by our peers by practicing unnatural behavior.
Does the fear of seeming hoity-toity mean we should avoid all the finer
things in life? Fall in Cincinnati is full of happenings that could be
called cavalier, but there’s nothing wrong with test-driving the
highfalutin life — just because you can.
Summer’s the soggy time of year. It’s steamy, but when fall rolls around, you’ve got a
chance at staying starched. Fall’s the crisp season; fall’s an apple.
One of the great things about fall is that the cooler
temperatures allow humans to walk around outside without getting sweat
mustaches. It’s perfect weather for wandering the city to investigate
Cincinnati’s sometimes-hidden treasures. Let’s start with historic and move our way to weird.
Because art is a subjective interpretation, you can find inspiration wherever you may look this season — but we’ve broken it down
into some fun and affordable suggestions. Take a ride, behold the

cool for the winter.
For too long, being gay meant life on the fringes. There
were certain places you could hang out, certain people you could talk
to, certain ways you could act. Fed up with accepting “how it’s always

there were none before — and finding out they were amongst friends the
whole time.
Rich Sherman moved to the Queen City from
Minneapolis, his hometown, after his partner, Chris, was transferred for
a job. And a year later, his tune — and business — have changed. “I am
happy to say I love it here and am so thankful we ended up here. It is
one of the best-kept secrets, I think. Who knew Cincinnati had so much
going on?”
Cincinnati's 2012 Pride celebration is already underway. This calendar will help you get caught up with all the festivities scheduled for this coming weekend.
