2nd Forgotten Cincinnati exhibition tonight

While you’re out and about for Final Friday this evening be sure to swing on by Park+Vine, Joseph Williams Home and Atomic #10 for the second Forgotten Cincinnati photograph exhibition. There will be abandoned photography from around Cincinnati by Ronny Salerno, Zach Fein and Sherman Cahal.

The Forgotten Cincinnati exhibition will start at 6pm and run through 9pm at the aforementioned Over-the-Rhine locations. The exhibition will actually run through Sunday, February 21 so that those interested will have plenty of time to make their purchases – but don’t wait long because these powerful photographs will sell quickly.

This morning Ronny Salerno and Zach Fein were on Fox 19’s morning show to discuss their work.

New street wear boutique to open in OTR

Cincinnati’s freshest business and Over-the-Rhine’s newest neighbor, Original Thought Required (OTR), will open this Friday, January 29 on Main Street for Final Friday. The street wear boutique will be one of the first of its kind for Cincinnati and has an owner that is very excited to be a part of the renaissance taking place in the historic neighborhood.

“I really believe in what 3CDC is doing and I’m really excited to be able to make my dream a reality,” said Original Thought Required owner James Marable.

On Friday, the store will be open for Final Friday from 5pm to 10pm, and Marable encourages people to just come and check out the store even if they are not intending on buying anything. “I wanted to create a space where people come in with an open mind and where people can just be themselves.”

Original Thought Required (map) will be much more than just a street wear boutique, and will eventually include regular events and be representative of the larger street wear culture where people focus on individuality, personal style, and music. Visitors on Friday can expect a small mixer atmosphere where they can get a peek of the new place and hang out.

Emancipator Doppelbock keg tapping at Arnold’s – 1/28

Christian Moerlein will be tapping the first keg of their Emancipator Doppelbock this Thursday, January 28 at Arnold’s Bar & Grill. Lasting from 4pm to 7pm, the event has no cover charge and will feature $4 Emancipators in a Moerlein Lagers & Ales pint glass (that you get to keep) with just $3 refills.

Arnold’s is located in downtown Cincinnati (map) and should get quite crowded for this event. When Christian Moerlein last hosted an event at Arnold’s on January 16 they sold out of all Moerlein Lagers & Ales and packed Arnold’s to the gills. So be sure to get there early so you don’t miss out on the great pint glass special and keg tapping.

According to Christian Moerlein:
Moerlein’s Emancipator Doppelbock is a German-style Doppelbock featuring six varieties of uniquely blended malts creating a robust dark lager with a toasted character and complex hints of caramel and toffee. Brewed in celebration of the repeal of prohibition in Ohio, Moerlein Emancipator continues to be a celebrated seasonal brew leading in to Bockfest in Cincinnati.
