Rode to nowhere
The first real full ride of the season is in the books! Did you know it is possible to ride downtown? And that people do it all the time? If you'd like to check out Cincinnati's amazing downtown and OTR neighborhood by bike you can do that every Tuesday with the Urban Basin Bicycle Club.
What is the Urban Basin Bicycle Club? Every Tuesday at 6:45 UBBC leaves Queen City Radio (at 12th and Central) for a ride around the urban basin. They are themed rides and they usually end at a local bar for refreshments. No special bike, clothes or equipment is needed, pump up the tires, jump on your creaky bike and head downtown.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not in charge of this group, just a big fan of riding bikes.

May the Fourth Be With You: An Art Tribute Show
May 4th at The Brewhouse in Walnut Hills, Episode III of the Star Wars fan art show debuted. The quality of the art is amazing, I figured there would be some really good stuff and a bunch of, well, fan art. But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work all the way across the board.
The show runs a couple weeks so if you're a Star Wars fan make sure you swing by grab a beer and check out the incredible art.
EDIT: I just realized there was little to no Ewok art at the show. Those little guys turned a battle and helped drive a stake in Darth Vader and the Empire's heart. You woud think people would show them a little more love. I always wondered about the lost potential of Ewoks, everyone saw what those little bastids could do with logs and rocks, why didn't anyone ever hand them a blaster?
Reble or reBEL?

Cincinnati Bike Month
May is actually National Bike Month, but we're talking Cincinnati/NKY here here. If you need a reason to get on a bike this month, I really hope you get on one this month, there are multiple events almost every single day in May.
Don't have a bike? That is still no excuse, every Tuesday you can ride a Red Bike for $2!
There are long rides, short rides, beginner rides, beer rides, flower rides, donut rides!!. And if you find an event you like, they've made it easy to remember with a link to auto add the event to your calendar.
Browse the long list of events in cronilogical order on Cincinnati Bike Month's CALENDAR.
And some pictures from the Cincinnati Bike Month kickoff party and ride last night.

Wynwood
Wynwood, a neighborhood in Miami, reminds me a little bit of OTR. Except Wynwood was an industrial neighborhood that sat abandoned until artist began moving in and recreating the place. Redevelopment began happening in the early 2000s and there are many high-end retailers although they are a little spread out.
The big attraction is the street art.

Cincinnati streetcar hits 1 million riders
The streetcar despite obstructions from city leadership continues to chug along recording its one-millionth rider over the weekend.
I wonder how many more people would ride if they could actually purchase tickets, as of last Saturday I still see people struggling with the ticket machines. But even with those issues, the streetcar is doing its job development wise with over $657 million in new investment on the route. That is just the money I know about, I'm sure I've missed a rehab or two.

Akron Art Museum
John S. and James L. Knight Building was completed and dedicated in 2007 after I moved from NE Ohio and I never got a chance to check it out. The last trip back I had some free time and finally made it up to see it. While I was too late to visit any exhibits I did walk around the outside to take it all it.
I love how it seemingly has its arms thrown wide in a welcoming manner while at the same time embracing and shielding older surrounding buildings. Amazing stuff in a rustbelt city.
