Loveland is one of the most unique small towns in the Cincy region; the Little Miami River flows around town while the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail cuts right through. Loveland’s iconic restaurants and shops, from Ramsey’s Trailside to Plaid Room Records, line the trail, and the nearby water plays host to kayakers all summer. All the things to see and do in such a small, scenic neighborhood make it one of my favorite spots in Cincy to return to over and over.

Tucked away in the hills rising to the east of Downtown, Eden Park is one of the most beautiful, and most historic, parks in Cincinnati. Much has changed over the years, from the old reservoir to the bridge over Eden Park Drive, but many things have also stayed the same - most notably, that iconic view from the park over the Ohio river. Here’s a look back at the Eden Park of the 1940s compared to the Eden Park of today ➡️

Cincinnati has a long history of talented Black musicians who’ve shaped the story of American music, from the first Black blues recording artist to legendary soul singers. This legacy prompted the creation of the Cincinnati Black Music Walk of Fame and, each year since its founding in 2021, the Walk honors four new inductees.
Current members of the Walk include monumental artists such as Bootsy Collins, James Brown, The Isley Brothers and more acts whose impact lives on in the cultural consciousness. These Cincinnatians’ songs are legendary in their own right and, through fresh samples and interpolations of their work, the songs gain new life everywhere from Tiktok trends to Beyoncé’s smash hit Renaissance album, and even find purchase in KPOP and beyond.
Check out our Spotify (link in bio) for playlists featuring the music of (and inspired by) Cincinnati Black Music Walk of Fame inductees.

"What did you do for Juneteenth?" Oh, nothing, just being extra Black✊🏾 Juneteenth in Cincinnati was a vibe! From the Paloozanoire block party, Cincinnati Young Black Professionals cookout, Freedom Center Juneteenth celebration and more! I got to swag surf with the city and eat goooooood. But beyond the fun, Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of where we came from and a celebration of our ancestors’ resilience. It’s about acknowledging our history, recognizing the ongoing struggle, and celebrating our achievements. In Cincinnati, Juneteenth holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a day to unite, uplift our community, and honor the legacy of those who fought for our freedom. Being Black is a joy, a responsibility, and a celebration of our culture, strength, and freedom. What does Juneteenth mean to you? #cincyexperience #cincinnati #cincy #myblackcincyexperience #juneteenth #thingstodoincincinnati

Tucky is putting you on and you have to check this one out! Grab your crew and check out an Afromeals cooking class at Findlay Kitchen! Afromeals focuses on African and Caribbean cuisines and teaching about the culture through food and cooking classes. I’m far from a Master Chef (however did you see that plating?!), but we had a tiiiime and the chef made everything easy to follow along. They have multiple options and we booked the Evening in Jamaica class. We cooked up plantains, calaloo, and Rasta Pasta with jerk shrimp.🤤 The atmosphere was perfect with the class not being huge and allowing the chef to pay attention to each person. Plus, we learned so many cool "did you know" facts about each dish like putting a bit of salt on plantains brings out their sweetness. And AfroMeals’ jerk seasoning? A game-changer! So if you’re looking for something different and a unique experience, this is it! They have ton of classes coming up, which would you book? #cincyexperience #cincinnati #cincy #myblackcincyexperience #thingstodoincincinnati #otr #overtherhine #findlaymarket
