Hey Redditors, my niece was accepted into the summer week long program on campus. She’s so excited and it makes my heart so happy. I’d love to get her an outfit or an accessory like a cute backpack, watch or whatever she may want or need. I’m open to flying home to go shopping with her but may not be able to swing it with work.

I know it’s pretty vague but any ideas are welcome. If I need to just have her pick something out and order it I’m ok with that (best for clothes if I can’t come in person) but any ideas around what’s popular for students to wear on campus would be great. Any other ideas of cute things I could gift her would be appreciated. TIA!!

Is there anywhere to buy pops in the greater Cincy area? Looks like high on the hill closed…just visiting for a few days so prefer in person. TIA!

Hey everyone! My spouse has been living here while working as a GC, and I’m finally joining them after landing a new job in the area. We’re officially making the move at the end of May and would love to crowd-source some local knowledge. Here’s what we’re curious about:

Dog care: vet, groomer, boarder

We have a French Bulldog and are looking for someone who knows the breed well and genuinely loves what they do. Bonus points for a groomer who also boards, ideally a clean, smaller facility where a little guy won’t get lost in the shuffle. Flexible boarding options are a huge plus.

Music

I play piano and Native American-style flute, and I love live music across the full spectrum. I’m equally happy in an orchestra hall or a smoky dive bar with an acoustic act. I’m originally from Kentucky, so I have a soft spot for bluegrass, but I’m genuinely open to everything: local school performances, community festivals, you name it.

Is there more of a scene here than I’m expecting? Also looking for any interesting music shops, instruments, gear, equipment, anything worth knowing about.

Food

Every time we’ve visited, we’ve eaten well, and I have a feeling the scene is only going to keep growing. That said, would love recommendations for fresh produce and local markets. Any good farm stands, farmers markets, or specialty grocers in the area? And what are the must-haves we absolutely shouldn’t miss?

Hiking and outdoor recreation

Planning to start local the first few months before branching out. Where do people go for a quick outdoorsy weekend reset? Favorite nearby trails or green spaces?

Also, not much of a fisherman, but I’d love to get in the water. Any good swim spots, or places where you can rent gear and just mess around on the water?

Thanks in advance. Really looking forward to becoming part of this community!​​​​​​​​​​
