On tomorrow’s show, I’ll be discussing Mayor Mallory’s State of the City address and his top priorities for the city. We’ve got news on The Banks, Clifton Plaza, Trinity Flats in OTR, and a few of UC’s residence halls. There’s some news on our transportation infrastructure in the city, and one proposal on a new way to fund highway projects.

Our friend Dave Keaton from the Bearcast Sports department will be stopping by for an update on Cincinnati’s teams, from the Bearcats to the Reds. And we may be getting a call from a friend of the show who’s currently visiting a certain city in the Pacific Northwest!

Also, stay tuned to Bearcast Radio after Explore Cincinnati is over — I will be interviewing one of Louisville’s up-and-coming rock bands, The Broken Spurs, who are playing at The Comet in Cincinnati on Friday night.  And if you need something to do this weekend, check out the two events sponsored by Bearcast: Brews and Bands at Baba Budan’s on Friday (free!), and a Neutral Milk Hotel tribute show at Rohs Street Café on Saturday ($5).
