Covington's First Urban Golf Tournament

This semester I am participating in a studio class called Tactical Urbanism. With minor interventions in the city we want to tackle or raise awareness about smaller or bigger city problems. I chose to install a mini golf event on the top floor of Covington's City Center garage to point out the annoying and boring empty parking lots and city garages and how we can turn them into real fun places.
More info about the event is to be found under www.covingtonurbangolf.blogspot.com or on facebook.com/covingtonurbangolf

Sneak Peeks

Obama again

Yep, last Saturday Barack Obama was back in Cincinnati. This time at our school. Fifth third arena was the location and he brought Stevie Wonder with him. I was to late to be able to enter the big arena, but before he entered it, Obama came and spoke to the latecomers and shook hands. Two days later he got reelected president of the USA.

Cincinnati Music Hall

It's been a while ago since my last post, but that's because I'm very busy preparing my Tactical Urbanism studio project. Today the River City News wrote an article about it. Read it here.

In the meantime I found some time for having a potluck at our place! It was a wonderful evening!
And last week I went to Cincinnati Music Hall to see my first professional ballet: Alice in Wonderland.
Cincinnati Music Hall is a theater built in 1878 with private money raised from what is believed to be the nation's first matching grant fund drive. It is judged to be among the best and most beautiful concert theaters in the world.

To conclude the day: Bakersfield on Vine
