green trees, black Fridays and white Russians

If downtown is about anything, its about the holidays, think of every classic holiday movie and where did all the magic happen?
Downtown.
The stores, the holiday displays, the crowds. That intensity and sharing of cheer can't be recreated anywhere else.
And the annual tree lighting is no exception. Yes, they light the tree which if you think about, big whoop.
But toss in a party band, ice skating and a thousand little girls screaming for Josh Hutchenson and there's some magic in the air.
As far as Thanksgiving and the first holiday of the season go, mission accomplished.
Now the bad news, if you want to call it bad, we have four more weeks of Christmas parties to go.

2/3rds of the UrbanCincy crew are some of(but not the only) my favorite Cincy bloggers.
The hot chocolate high above the square at Via Vite was thick enough to spoon and oh so rich, the views spectacular.

On to High Street for Black Friday White Russian.
High Street is one of those shops, where do they find this stuff? Out there on the edge of design, I want to buy everything in the store.
OH, and those guys can throw a party.
