Visiting the BLOC Coffee Shop

Published at January 10, 2008 in 45205, Food, Places and Props. 2 Comments

I’ve had a couple lattes and mochas from the BLOC Coffee Shop and so far I’m impressed. Considering it’s a coffee shop put together by a non profit ministries organization, it’s pretty outstanding. I haven’t tried the straight up brewed coffee; only espresso and milk drink, but I’ll definitely be checking it out more frequently so I can split my addiction between the Coffee Emporium and BLOC.

BLOC is located at the corner of Price Ave and Hawthorne Ave and open weekdays for coffee and espresso drinks between 6:30 and 10:00am. The short hours are probably a good thing since I might not resist a morning and evening coffee.

Rehabbing Olive

Published at October 3, 2007 in Blog, Cincinnati Suburbs, Local Blogs, Places, Price Hillians and Props. 0 Comments

Anyone interested in following an East Price Hill home being rehabbed should check out the Room 113 blog. The house is 961 Olive Ave. It’s very near to the planned new Kroger store on Enright and Warsaw.

It’s fun reading, considering I’m doing the same thing. I can relate to certain aspects, such as the City of Cincinnati Sanitation Department not taking all of my garbage.

I plan on posting pictures of my “project” in the future.

I’ve added Room 113 to my blog role.

Good Loiterers

Published at September 13, 2007 in Cincinnati Suburbs, Crime, Events, Media, Meetings, People, Price Hillians and Props. 1 Comment

I was going to save this for a later post but apparently my Inbox doesn’t want me go to sleep.

Tomorrow, Friday, September 14th, is a scheduled “Good Guy Loiterers” outing for Price Hill.  Meet at St. Lawrence Church at 7:30p to get assigned a street corner.  I wasn’t aware that these events had made it to the local media, but Local 12 has a more in depth article.  The article mentions the improvements and plans for fighting crime in the neighborhood and claims that violent crime is down 7% in West Price Hill and 23% in East Price Hill (not Gill).

…perhaps a local food or beverage company could sponsor these events and provide sustenance for the “good loiterers”?
