Shameless Plug – Best of Cincinnati

January 29, 2008 in About

It’s that time of year again – CityBeat is rounding up nominations for their 2008 “Best of Cincinnati” issue.  In addition to adding all of your favorite local businesses, there is a nomination field for “Best Blog.”  With so many great Cincinnati blogs out there (many of them in our blogroll on your right), the competition is stiff.  But, we hope that a few of you like us enough to nominate BuyCincy as your favorite blog in the city.  Please take a second (or two, you must fill out 30 categories for your vote to count) either way and let CityBeat know what you think is the Best of Cincinnati.

Joseph Williams Home Preview Party

January 28, 2008 in Stores

What’s the deal?

The only thing better than a showroom full of snazzy furniture is a showroom full of snazzy furniture you might actually be able to afford.  Well, maybe one thing is even better than that – free beer and wine at such a place.  So, yeah, we had a good time at the Joseph Williams Home preview party last Friday.  The atmosphere was great, the DJ kickin’ and the couches, well, comfortable.  We can’t wait to go back.

Visconti & Lechler Pharmacy Closes

January 27, 2008 in Stores

I have the misfourtune of reporting my second set of bad news in a week.  Visconti & Lechler Pharmacy in College Hill has closed after 42 years in business.  After decades of chasing chain pharmacies out of College Hill the competition from chain stores in other communities just got to be too much.  Visconti & Lechler has been an institution in College Hill for decades and was still run by Ralph Visconti Jr., the son of the founder.

What’s the deal?

 Looking for high quality textiles and beads?  Look no further than Cincinnat’s own world renowned, St. Theresa Textile Trove.  Founded in 1994 by two sisters (Terrie and Becky) in Over the Rhine, St Theresa is owned and operated only by women who are all highly knowledgable in and passionate about quilting, sewing and beads.  St. Theresa offers a wide selection of fabrics, the owners say, the chain stores are “too scared to carry” including fabrics from Japan, India, France and Guatamala, and an international selection of tride and true beads with a large selection of African beads.

Embrace Sweets to Open Store

January 23, 2008 in Stores

According to Park + Vine’s latest newsletter, the all-natural bakers at Embrace Sweets are planning to open a new retail store in the Gateway Quarter.  Word on the street is the mother and daughter duo in charge of Embrace are looking at a 12th St. location, just west of Vine St.  Fans of their whole wheat scones (which have somewhat of a following) can now stop in and get them straight from the baker’s themselves.  Me?  I’ll be munching on some vegan buckeyes (and I’m not even vegan…they’re just plain good).

New Furniture Store Opening in Pendleton

January 23, 2008 in Stores

Joseph Williams Home, a contemporary furniture store selling everything from upholstery to end tables to barstools, is set to open soon at 550 Reading Road in Pendleton.  The last we heard, the official opening will be during this month’s Final Friday activities (but don’t hold us to that!).  However, the store is having a sneak peek this Friday, and you gotsta know we are going to be there.  So, be on the lookout this weekend for initial reactions, the final word on Joseph Williams public opening date and hopefully even some sneak peek photos of the new store.   

Edit: This is why we love our readers.  Maya brought to our attention that this Friday IS Final Friday, so after this weekend’s preview party, it should start normal operating hours soon!
