We Need Your Feedback!

We’re working behind the scenes on some new ideas for future episodes of Explore Cincinnati. Please help us by giving some feedback on these questions:

  • What are your favorite local blogs? Cincinnati’s bloggers cover everything from development news to food to “oddities.”  Which do you like?
  • What locally-owned businesses do you like? Maybe you get your music at Shake It Records, your everyday supplies at Park + Vine, and your coffee at Sitwell’s.  What else?
  • What are your favorite Cincinnati-based bands? We have a great original local music scene, but you do you like?
