Since the start of Price Hill Blog I’ve debated if I should post news regarding Price Hill, save room for user commentary and leave it at that, or, chime in with my opinion and make that the conversation starter, rather than the news item itself.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I find my comments most interesting–granted they are my thoughts. Isn’t this really the nature of a blog? Otherwise, I’m just filtering various newspapers, blogs and other media sources into a digestible stream for a niche audience. So, in the future look forward to more commentary on my part (when time and reason permits.)
Todays earlier post has inspired me for a more in depth explanation of how $500,000 isn’t really a great thing for Price Hill. I’ll post it shortly.
On another note, I have various ideas and segments I’m working on for the blog so stay tuned.
Another couple notes that are way off topic…
Lately I tried a (new?) Thai restaurant in Western Hills, Thai Taste. It’s located on Crookshank, near Applebee’s and O’Charley’s. This isn’t Price Hill, but it’s close. The menu includes plenty of entre choices and at least two pages of sushi rolls. This is the only place on the west side I know of that serves Sushi. If I’m wrong please comment below. The building doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I was impressed with the food. Both the Chicken Pad Thai and sushi choices I ordered were great. I would rate the food somewhere between Thai Express in Clifton, and Teak in Mt. Adams or Thai Cafe in Clifton.
Also, over the weekend I dropped by Findlay market to hang out, get some food and taste the new Christian Moerlein Fifth & Vine Oktoberfest Marzen. It’s excellent!
I’ve struggled with the same question myself, and decided to add some commentary. I think if you make it clear to readers what is “news” and what is “opinion” then everything is fine.
A blog ain’t crap without opinions I don’t think. Even if its just your take on an issue. You don’t have to create controversy on every post. Since you have a niche, be a cheerleader. The city needs more of those!
Love the look of your blog and I was wating for a little more history then I’m adding you to my blog roll. keep up the good work.
Hey I was at the Moerlien Ale House saturday also with the “Beer Goddess” and I guess our expectations were running way too high after the OTR ale. But we had a good time anyhow.
Commentary is good. News feed sites are good too, but commentary is better for discussion’s sake.
My wife and I just bought a house in East Price Hill. We are looking forward to living where our heritage is.
5chw4r7z, the beer was great but I’ll admit I expected more people. Cincinnati always takes baby steps so I keep faith.
Welcome to the neighborhood Scott!
I visited an interesting and apparently undiscovered place in Price Hill, the Warsaw Project Gallery, at 3116 Warsaw. One’s taste in art can certainly us in different directions, but an art gallery in Price Hill is worthy of a visit. Sara McMasters can be reached at 545-8832.
It is across from the police station.
Mark, I’ve made note of this and added it to my rmtm To-Do list.
