After another stressful year of school, summer is the time to relax and have fun. But with work and internships, it can sometimes be hard to relax or find the time and money to go on a vacation. The truth is that you do not need to go far away from Cincinnati in order to have a great summer vacation. This city has a lot to offer so you never run out of new adventures. Here are just a few of some of the great things you can do in Cincy this summer.

1. Shop at City Flea in Washington Park

Once a month during the summer and fall, City Flea is put on in Washington Park. There are great food trucks for a delicious lunch and an abundance of vendors selling a variety of products. It's a great place to shop for something unique!

2.Visit the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

As the second oldest zoo in the United States, the Cincinnati zoo is a great place to visit for people of all ages.

3. Salsa on the Square

Every Thursday night enjoy free salsa dancing downtown on fountain square.

4. Have a picnic in Ault Park

The fourth largest park in Cincinnati is beautiful and the perfect place for your next picnic.

5. Go to the Loveland Bike Trail

The Loveland bike trail follows along an old railroad line and is a great option to get outside in the summer and get some exercise.

6.Visit Kings Island

With rides and attractions for all ages everyone is sure to enjoy themselves at Kings Island.

7. Go to a Red's Game


Show your hometown pride by cheering on the Red's at Great American Ball Park.

8. Go to the top of Carew Tower

For the best view of the city, visit the observation deck at the 49-story Carew Tower.

9. Have brunch at The Echo Restaurant in Hyde Park

Great for breakfast, brunch or lunch, this diner has been around since 1945 and will sure to satisfy your taste buds.

10. See a Concert at Riverbend Music Center

Riverbend is a great place to enjoy the summer weather while seeing a concert. With lawn tickets available it won't break the bank.

11. Visit the Cincinnati Art Museum

General admission is free so there is nothing stopping you from going to appreciate art you cannot see anywhere else.

12. Eat at Montgomery Inn

You can only get barbecue like this in Cincinnati. I would also recommend treating yourself to some Graeters after dinner for a true Cincinnati experience.

Cincinnati is a city that truly has a lot to offer. These are just a few suggestions to start your summer off right, but keep exploring the 513 even more!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
