Stickers: The Sticker ShopGen X mom/author/blogger/disability activist Amy Webb had a brainstorm in January 2023: She wanted to open a sticker shop. It might have seemed out of the blue, but digital fatigue, nostalgia, and a desire to connect with her daughters over creativity inspired her to sign a lease on a Wyoming storefront and transform it into The Sticker Shop.

Seafood Boil: Cincy CrabWhile the Buckeye state may be far from any ocean, dinner at Cincy Crab gives the impression that you’re enjoying a feast right off the coast. Its seafood boils are by far the stars of the menu and come fully customizable. Customers can handpick one pound each of their favorite seafood—from crab and lobster tail to shrimp and crawfish to clams and mussels, and everything in between—served with potatoes, sausage, and corn on the cob, all coated in a sauce of your choosing.

The skating rink and humongous Christmas tree on Fountain Square might feel like a multi-generational holiday tradition for many of us, but the downtown favorites aren’t even 20 years old. The seasonal rink followed 3CDC’s renovation of the square and its underground parking garage in 2006, adding activity downtown during winter months. Andi Schultes, 3CDC’s director of event logistics, is starting her 12th season in charge of the rink and knows more about making ice than almost anyone in town.

When ArtWorks leaders toured a potential new headquarters building on Gilbert Avenue in Walnut Hills, its origin story was almost too good to be true. It was constructed in 1909 to house the Bolce Paint Company, which at the time was the third-oldest paint store in the U.S. and the largest west of the Allegheny Mountains. The three-story building, plus basement, later became home to Race Refrigeration for 50 years.

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park replaced its larger theater with Moe and Jack’s Place–The Rouse Theatre last year for multiple reasons, mostly to use state-of-the-art technology and staging. The new space was designed with a proscenium stage, rather than the old thrust stage setup, because that’s the configuration used in the major Broadway halls—and Producing Artistic Director Blake Robison wants to mount new shows in Cincinnati that eventually head to Broadway.
