Cincinnati is just about as vibrant and hip as Portland, yet without the prowess of the Pacific Northwest's ecological consciousness. A town which prides itself on cultural diversity, the city has recently re-engaged its trolley system through its narrow horse and buggy streets. The newly revamped Washington Park is filled with the joyful cheers of young families, and in order to recapitulate my sense of childhood play, I chose to join in on the afternoon foray in the multicolored fountain. Looking forward to the MidPoint Music & Arts Festival this evening, in the under-appreciated city of Cincinnati.
