Things In Cincinnati I Will Miss

Oh, Cincinnati. We have come to the end of our time together. It's been real. VERY real. First off, I would like to say thank you. You've been good to me. Xavier was the best four years of my life and I'm sad to be leaving behind some of the things, and people, I've grown attached to.

Sure, there is the fact that it's ridiculously expensive to fly in and out of your airport. You also have neighborhoods without sidewalks and this blows my mind. And it's true, I'm not a fan of humidity. And sometimes it makes sense that Mark Twain would want to come to Cincinnati when the world is because it's ten years behind. I know I carry on and on about how I'm excited to move back to Colorado, but there are things I will miss here in the Queen City.

Skyline's

So yummy. And the only way you can get it in Colorado is if you order it off the Internet and it comes in a can and that just doesn't taste the same. Oh well. I'm pretty sure that for the rest of my life, whenever I hear someone sing "what can make me feel this way?" I will sing back "Skyyyyliiinnneee....talkin' 'bout Skyliiiiine."

Hyde Park

So many of my favorite restaurants and hangouts in one convenient place. Arthur's, Indigo, and Teller's are my top 3...not to mention Graeter's!

Mt. Adam's

I never have a terrible time when I go to the many hot spots. Summer nights in this little neighborhood so wonderfully nestled on a hillside are highlights of my plus 21 memories.

Xavier

I will miss going up to campus for basketball games and just the general happy sight of seeing a beautiful blooming spring campus.

Having a "crisis" and my family is there to help

My family has saved me from the following problems:

-My dress for Senior Ball will not zip up. Can I borrow a dress?

-I am freaking out about schoolwork. Can I come to your house and study?

-I have no clean underwear. Can I come to your house and do laundry?

-I'm lost. Where am I?

-I have no where to live. Can I stay with you?

-It's hot. Can I come swim at your pool?

-My flight get in at 8. Can you pick me up from the airport?

-the list goes on...

(They also forgive me when popcorn gets burned while I'm babysitting.)

Hofbrahaus, Oktoberfest, Labor Day Fireworks

Pretty sure Denver doesn't have either of those things and if they do, they are probably very lame.

Clifton: Indian Food and movies at The Esquire

Clifton boasts two of the best Indian food restaurants, Amol which has fabulous naan and a great lunch buffet, and Ambar, which is classy Indian food cooked to perfection. The Esquire, the indie movie theater, not only brings good movies, both mainstream and independent, to Cincinnati, but it has really good deals. Tuesday night tickets are $6, and the student discounts are great. I will really miss an affordable movie-going experience.
