Rookie120 0 #1 September 18, 2005 To make a long story short I will be in Cincinnati monday afternoon and flying back out friday afternoon. Anybody want to get together and wathch some monday night football and have a few beers at a local pub or anything. The thought of sitting in a hotel room all night is a little sickening. Or is there a DZ close by that I might be able to get a couple afternoon early evening jumps in at? If thats the case I will bring my rig.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

freeflir29 0 #3 September 18, 2005 I think the 2 closest DZ's are SGC and Richmond Indiana. Don't know if they do any weekday jumping there or not. All I know about Cinci is to stay out of that nasty river. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contact Tom Birdwell and tell him you are coming to town, you can exchange a few jump stories...maybe even a beer or two PM sentskydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #5 September 18, 2005 Where are you staying? If your staying downtown or near downtown, PM me and i'll give ya the lowdown on my hood. The cops know all the good places to drink and eat!!!

PhreeZone 20 #6 September 18, 2005 Closest DZ's are SGC and Greensburg. Greensburg is by far much busier during the week then SGC so give them a ring and ask what their schedule is looking like this week. With Fastrax going to the Worlds soon, I got to believe they are flying a lot. There is a Jillians just across the river that is pretty cool.I don't know much more about Cinci other then they have gambling on the river boats.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet, I dont know about gambling but a nice cold beer and a monday night game would hit the spot. I'm going to be at the GE AC engine plant for some classes but am in a hotel on the north end of town. Will call greensburg to see what there doing. Thanks for the input.

BikerBabe 0 #8 September 18, 2005 Things to do in Cincinnati: 1. If you have to beg, borrow, steal or weasel your way...you absolutely MUST try some Graeter's Ice Cream (pronounced "greaters"). I don't care where you are or what you're doing, your life will never be the same once you've had this incredible frozen concoction that was obviously invented by the angels to eat in heaven. Ask anyone from Cincy. 2. Eat Chili. Specifically, you need to try Skyline chili. It's NOT Texas Chili. Go to Skyline. Order a "3-way". Enjoy. =) Glod Star is a cheap knockoff. Skyline is the only true "Cincinnati chili" there is. 3. Go to the Montgomery Inn for ribs. Kansas city ain't got nothin' on these. You will NOT be disappointed. 4. Try to head to Bogart's one night. Still the best live music in Cincy, since before I was in high school. Wed. the 28th is a Social Distortion show...nice! www.bogarts.com 5. Go across to the Covington/Newport waterfront. There's some fun places over there. Where are you staying? Downtown or in a suburb? Have fun! Cincy is really a great little city. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie120 0 #9 September 18, 2005 QuoteWhere are you staying? Downtown or in a suburb? Have fun! Cincy is really a great little city. I'm in a hotel in Springdale. I think thats on the northside. Monday I will probably just find a pub and watch the football game. The reat of the week I want to try to get a couple jumps in. No jumpin down here since the storm. I will check out some of those places to eat and stuff also.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #10 September 18, 2005 yep, north side. Luckily, there's a Graeter's ice cream shop in Springdale! http://www.graeters.com/viewCity.cfm?locID=14. It's close to the Tri-County Mall. There's bound to be a Skyline around there, too. Montgomery Inn is in two places, one in Montgomery (err, duh) and one down on the river called the mongomery Inn boathouse. thouhg maybe you shouldn't try these things, because you may find yourself making excuses to go to Cincy just to buy ice cream... Have fun!Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it better than Ben&Jerry's? Thats a pretty tall order to top. I'll be sure to check this up.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

BikerBabe 0 #13 September 19, 2005 OMG. OMG. Ben&Jerrys is to Graeter's as Big Lots is to Tiffanys. Ben&Jerry's is a chain. Mass produced. Graeter's is made in the store by a different method... www.graeters.com It's absolutely incredible.

Graeter's is the bomb... (oh and I'm from Cincy, or at least went to school there...) Lets see here... Penn Station Subs has the BEST resturant lemonade I've ever had (they make it with real lemons and everything) they're Sandwich's aren't bad either. Check out Barrel House Brewery - Their Greek Pizza is very good and they are an awesome microbrewery. if you need directions PM me and I can probably scrounge something up. Montgomery Inn its a restuant (there's one on the river and one north east of cincinnati) has very good ribs... This is a good time of year to be in Cincinnati... the weather isn't too hot or too cool... ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

lauraliscious 0 #15 September 19, 2005 You must must must try Graeters. I recommend the black raspberry chip, but any of the chip flavors are good. Sometimes you get a huge chunk of chocolate. I used to work there in high school. Good stuff Enemiga Rodriguez, PMS #369, OrFun #25, Team Dirty Sanchez #116, Pelt Head #29, Muff #4091 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everon 0 #18 September 19, 2005 River Downs (SE side along the river) and Turfway Park (across the bridge - in Florence Ky.) are thoroughbred racetracks that race live this week.

lauraliscious 0 #19 September 19, 2005 My friend (skyjenb) lives in Cincy and says she'll make some time in her busy schedule to show you around, if you're hot and single. If you're interested, PM her a better pic and your number. I'm writing on her behalf b/c she won't have internet access until tomorrow morning when she gets to work... Hope you have a good time.
