What a difference a week makes. The snow is a melted memory, and overeager daffodils are more than an inch tall in the front bed. If you were perfectly willing to wait winter out, you’ve succeeded. Time to get out and see what Cincinnati has to offer. Turns out it’s a lot. Read on.
It’s time to roll off the couch and stop moaning about dirty snow. There’s plenty to entice, including some interesting plays, Cajun and Latin jazz or J.S. Bach.

The smoke may have just cleared from this year’s Labor Day weekend Riverfest party, but plenty of fireworks are ahead this week, with a mix of still-summer outdoor fun and fall arts seasons gearing up.
