When I first saw this rendering of a small parking lot on 4th I got excited and thought, "how awesome would that be" But the reality set in I and realized people a printing too much money with parking to ever give them up.
But then this Flea Market sponsored by Trick Dog happened Sunday, so baby steps and never say never.

I haven't been on one of these downtown home tours for years but a bunch of new apartment and condos have come online lately and well, I'm as nosy as anyone about how other people are living.
The one big take away? Dogs! Almost every single apartment building had a dedicated pet area and a couple of them had dog baths.
Two of the new places have small pools and they all had incredible community spaces.
My favorites were Seven at Broadway, ENCORE Urban Living, and Eight One Three Broadway. The first two had mind-blowing views and Eight One Three had some interesting spaces.
There has never been a better time to live downtown!
Seven at Broadway, they had a really cool simulation that was used to zoom in and out and around the four properties they manage. Seven at Broadway if you don't know is the one built on top of a parking garage on the eastern edge of downtown.
In recognition of the milestone, the community is invited to share in all the activities that can be found along the route – from shops and entertainment in OTR to the ballgame at Great American Ball Park.

This time it really does feel different, people aren't letting the shootings go like they used to. Part of it is due to a few social media heroes who have stepped up, heroes like Emma González a well-spoken and articulate young adult who is a breath of fresh air.
And just like mothers have made an impact on drunk driving laws, moms are now joining the cause to prevent their children from being shot at school with Moms Demand Action.
Corporations are beginning to step up also, requiring background checks and 21 to purchase.
Change is coming.

If we've learned anything from Gorilla Cinema, the creators of Overlook Lodge and Video Archive, its that we can expect one thing.
The unexpected.
And they didn't disappoint with Tokyo Kitty. Tokyo Kitty is a Japanese style karaoke bar. One can sing on the big stage in front of a large audience or reserve one of the seven private rooms and perform in front of your friends. An interesting feature of the private rooms is once nestled inside it's not necessary to ever leave. Drinks can be ordered through an app and they are delivered through a clever system of overhead cranes that lower the order through the ceiling. Tokyo Kitty calls it robot delivery, and I guess it is, but not in the traditional sense that you would imagine.
So for all the extroverts out there who wished there was a bar where they could be just a little more extroverted, a little more flamboyant, this bar is for you.
If any bar in Cincinnati was created for the instagram selfie generation its Tokyo Kitty!
