I've spent much of last week reflecting on events of the past year. Although there were plenty of good times (I'm in Cincy after all), some heartbreaking moments also occurred. Nevertheless, here's some of my 2011 adventures and reflections that I'm taking into 2012:</div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">1.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">3.

I'll share more about him in a later post; meanwhile, here's an intro to his creativity: <span data-mce-style="color: #99cc00;" style="color: #99cc00;"><a data-mce-href="http://www.darrengoodman.net/" href="http://www.darrengoodman.net/" title="Darren Goodman"><span data-mce-style="color: #99cc00;" style="color: #99cc00;">http://www.darrengoodman.net/</span></a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px;"> </span></div>

I'm getting my party started this final week of 2011 with BoA's <em>Energetic</em> … report to the dance floor … By mid-week I'm sure to be mellowing with some old-school Funkadelic -- <em>Maggot</em> <em>Brain</em>, perhaps? Then by week's end, I'll probably be in the mood to crank up the volume on Parliament's <em>Give</em> <em>Up the Funk</em> (<em>Tear the Roof off the Sucker</em>). On New Year's Eve, you'll find me celebrating 2011's final hours with a cheery crowd on Fountain Square. So long, au revoir, arrivederci, adios, lebewohl 2011! Hello, bonjour, ciao, hola, hallo 2012. Happy New Year everyone!!!</span><br />

The setting - Cincinnati's Central Parkway median strip. The target - every tree, planter, pole, and utility box along the median. The villain - an incognito knitting faction known only as BombShells. In September, the posse, who's spray paint transforms into knitting needles and endless yarn, weaved their mark on Cincy. Like graffiti artists, the BombShells, in hidden identities, knitted their way across Central Parkway in downtown. From yarn puffs and jellyfish hanging from trees to Oz's wicked witch squashed beneath a huge planter, the yarn bomb survived two weeks before vanishing. Nevertheless, it was quite an awe-inspiring exhibit while it lasted!<br />

I was headed to Starbucks at Fourth & Vine when I noticed "free Wi-Fi" on a sign inside a window at <i>tazza mia</i>. In the mood for a bit of change, I ventured inside to a quaint sophisticated coffee bar filled with retro chic ambience. Turns out that tazza mia is brewing more than just java in its three downtown cafes. This Cincy local is brewing a coffee culture in that's also good for the environment; but, for that piece of the story, you'll need to visit tazza mia and discuss the roasting process -- that's where their story unfolds.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed <i>tazza mia</i> so much that my visit lasted all morning. What began with a sign in a window ended hours later, with great java, great fun, and great friends -- I can hardly wait to return!<br />

On a recent Sunday, I took my trusty digital Nikon out for a tour of downtown Cincy. Fountain Square is the heart of my fair city and central to where art deco embraces a business district sprinkled with urban delights. Because of your continued interest in cincydwellers.blogspot.com, here's a sneak peek of downtown Cincy courtesy of my walk-about photos.

As a city built on seven hills, Cincinnati offers spectacular views and many housing options. I have always loved open floor plans, so it was shear delight to discover the area's countless lofts and contemporary home styles. Then one day things got better -- I found my dream home. Dwelling One in Phase I of "The Elite" development on Mt. Adams is the ultra contemporary abode I'd always envisioned for myself. A tour of the home's 3,000 square feet of stunning living space was a spiritual sojourn. I'd place dibbs on this luxurious residence in a heartbeat if $895,000 ever falls into my lap! If you love contemporary living, and aren’t shy about paying nearly a million dollars for a home, "The Elite" is certainly worth a personal tour!

I recently took advantage of that freebie and toured the iconic pop art exhibit of Keith Haring. Where much of Haring's work is for mature audiences, it was amusing to witness a group of high school students react to those images. Also on display was Rosson Crow's uncanny American motorcycles exhibit. Both Haring and Rosson produced some extraordinary works; however, I enjoy the CAC's architecture as much as the exhibits. The ultra contemporary building is itself a work of art. It's the perfect setting for special events that have included a sneaker designer's launch party. For anyone who appreciates uncanny art, the CAC might be for you -- it's certainly for me!!<br />

I was surprised to learn Earlham College, a small Quaker college in Indiana, would host a hip hop concert, featuring Wu Tang Clan founding member GZA. But it was really special to hear that Cincy hip hop artist Ill Poetic would open the show -- quite a coup for a rising Midwest homeboy, who also shared the Earlham stage with hip hop heavyweights' Brother Ali, Freddie Gibbs and Illogic. Check out the musicality of cincy dweller Ill Poetic below:<br />

Over the course of today - 2/23/11, I saw baseball great Pete Rose at a local grocery store event, witnessed actor George Clooney on Fountain Square, filming his new movie "The Ides of March", toured the extraordinary "Cleopatra" exhibit at Union Terminal, and photographed Art Deco in downtown Cincy. Afterward I received a message from my nephew via Facebook, reminding me of one of the funnest day's of my life -- when he, my daughter, and me drove to Jacksonville, Florida, while listening to Everlast play in the CD player. So in remembrance of that trip and the last 24 hours in Cincy, I end my day chillin' to "Eat at Whitey's" and other Everlast tunes!<br />

</tbody></table>At first glance, it is easy to miss "take the cake". But once inside, the unassuming exterior gives way to a quaint cafe that easily lives up to its name. Next to a decadent display of cupcakes and other yummy desserts, on which I focused most of my attention, is a wall of design and fashion magazines. I'm enchanted by the lunch menu cleverly displayed on a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard mounted across from the cash register. Local artwork that lines the walls is a real pleasure. Simple seating fills the cafe, with mix-matched chairs and wooden tables that provide a homey yet chic feel. "take the cake" is a great place for a quick pickup of quality, unique, and delicious food. The only thing that might take awhile is deciding which item to order! But with affordable prices, you won't feel guilty enjoying a spot of tea with a cupcake or two (or three)!<br />

<br />
Cincy's music scene is a plethora of genres; however, I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge our music legend and cincy dweller Mr. Bootsy Collins. In the mid 1970s, I attended a P-Funk concert at Hara Arena (Dayton, Ohio), in which Bootsy handed long-stem red roses off the stage into the excited hands of a few lucky girls: I was among those recipients. Fast forward: after traveling the world, performing for Funkateers everywhere, Bootsy opened a fabulous restaurant produced by famed chef Jeff Ruby. Although Ruby recently acquired the restaurant space, Cincy's beloved Bootsy continues his philanthropy and local public appearances. For my P-Funk fans, take a journey back to these old-school Bootsy hits: </div><br />

After a full day's work, didn't I deserve to have an attendant pump my gas, check my oil, and clean my windshield? Then to my dismay grocery stores installed "U-scan" do-it-yourself checkouts. Wasn't it enough that I was trading my hard-earned cash for the grocer’s products, but now I have to cashier for myself? Always one to support library levies, I'm no longer feeling the love for them since my dear library has become another self-service entity. So where does it stop? Profitable self-service has replaced customer service, takes more of my valued time, and increases my stress level. So it's up to me and you to go old school if there is a chance of reinstating that valued commodity known as customer service. I’m doing my part by grocery shopping at Whole Foods and IGA where I'm guaranteed a cashier at checkout. Also, I utilize the Internet for audio and video and Kindle my books. I hope we remember that even though these "U-Scans" are technically savvy, the personal experiences are what make simple tasks like pumping gas and buying groceries special.

</tbody></table>Every December 31, thousands of locals converge on Fountain Square in the heart of Cincy to ring in a new year. The event, dubbed the "Blast", is among my favorite winter festivities. I, personally, look forward to the very cool "ice bar", which will again be serving spirited drinks. But I especially enjoy the camaraderie and embracing high hopes for the coming year. My city likes celebrating, which might explain our high number of fireworks displays during winter months. This year's "Blast" starts at 8 p.m. and includes free ice skating, music by DJ Pillo, hot food, and, of course, plenty of merriment. Then close to midnight, we'll count down the final seconds of 2010 amid cheers, sing Auld lang syne, and, in customary Cincy fashion, enjoy a fireworks display above Fountain Square.<br />

</div>Last Christmas, my daughter Elle was preparing to embark on a four-month stay in the United Kingdom. She returned from her trip in the spring, but left her heart abroad. So to counter her melancholy, I looked for British experiences in Cincy to embrace her faraway love. We begin our excursion with <b>High Tea. </b>Instead of The Brown's Hotel in London, we take our tea at The Cincinnatian Hotel <a href="http://www.cincinnatianhotel.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">http://www.cincinnatianhotel.com/</span></a>. Next, <b>shopping </b>at High Street<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> </span>for "fierce objects, studio designs, and <i>London<b> </b></i>style." We recently attended High Street's "Black Friday, White Russian" party and had a blast ... another place high on my list of Cincy favorites. Our shopping continued with a visit to Hyde Park Square. Unlike London's Hyde Park, Cincy's is a haven for specialty shops. <b>Pub fare</b> at Rookwood Commons follows. I drink for the two of us - since Elle's of Pub age in the UK but underage in the States. For our <b>nightcap, </b>we watch the British movie <i>Run Fatboy Run</i> while enjoying an ale (ginger ale, that is). Our night concludes with recounts of her life abroad, including her 20th birthday celebration in a church turned Pub, events via Pure Groove Records, shopping at Miss Sixty, French Connection, Harrods, and Topshop, hanging out at Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge, visits to Oxford, Wales, Edinburgh, and then Paris (EU) pour Easter, traveling on the Tube and international culture. The lesson: experience our world wherever you live -- Peace and Love!!!<br />
