My Ohioan friends from high school and college have branched out across the world. They’ll frequently ask me, “Why stay in Ohio?” Or, more specifically, “Why stay in Cincinnati?” This used to be a hard question for me but as Cincinnati has been evolving over the last few years, the answers have been easier and easier to come by.If I wanted to, I think I could do something new every night. Sometimes I do! At the end of the weekends, my friends and I compare notes and I’m acutely aware that there might have been better events happening than the ones I attended. That didn’t used to be the case, and not because I’m so awesome but because there wasn’t too much awesome occurring. It’s about that feeling of the fear of missing out (FOMO) that I wrote about for The Cincinnati Anthology, a collection art and essays my friend Zan compiled and edited (and promoted and so much more).
The anthology can be purchased online and bonus! – if you get it you can learn Wonder Boy’s real name.

Ah… Cincinnati… I think I drove through there once 😉
Ohio is a bit of a mystery to me, I always use it as my fill-in-the-blank state when telling a story where I don’t recall location details.
Anyways! Stopping by from the BlogHer FB group 🙂
