Bob Roncker's Running Spot in Glendale.

There's a new fitness trend every minute, but if you can't find time for a spinning-fusion-hot-yoga class, nothing beats a run. And when you're on that daily, weekly, or (in my case) semi-monthly run, it's key to have the right equipment.

With the opening of the fourth "Bob Roncker's Running Spot" in the Cincinnati area, there's another, local, place to get it. ]]> http://www.buycincy.com/2008/09/third-bob-ronckers-running-spo.html http://www.buycincy.com/2008/09/third-bob-ronckers-running-spo.html Stores 45140 45208 45246 Bob Roncker's Running Spot Loveland running shoes Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:12:35 -0500 Circuitastrophe: circuit bending comes home, again. Circuitastrophe - circuit bending symposium, gallery installations, and performances continues through the weekend and into Monday. The CAC is involved, as well as art performance spaces of new and old - Semantics, Murmur, The Mockbee, and ArtDamage Lounge. But I suggest you just go - instead of giving more hits to Myspace. In short, - tehe - circuit bending is a type of aural experimentation that seems to follow the mantra: If it can be made it can also be taken apart...

Tomorrow 8/29 is a big day for BuyCincy as we turn One year old.  Spurred on a year ago by the development happening in the Gateway Quarter, Sean decided to create BuyCincy as a way to bring light to these new businesses and other locally owned businesses throughout the city.  A few days later I joined him, and together we have spent the past year trying to do our best to bring you information about locally owned and operated businesses. Today we are fortunate to have an all volunteer staff of five additional Contributing Writers, and a Sales and Marketing Coordinator.  Over the past year we have seen steady growth in readership, have won two Best of Cincinnati Awards, and have received lots of positive press, none of which would have happened without You, our faithful readers.  For the past 12 months you have supported us and spread the word about our little venture, and for that we thank you. 

We would also like to thank the businesses that have supported us and that have allowed us to support them.  We hope that we have been a help to you over the past year, and we hope to be of even greater help in the future.

This next year promises to be a big one for BuyCincy as we continue to grow.  Stay tuned for exciting changes, events and a greater focus on what got us here, supporting locally owned businesses and the people who make this city a wonderful place to live.

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.  Now get out there and shop, eat and participate!  Take advantage of all that this great city has to offer.

All the Best to You,

Kurt and Sean

A couple of weeks ago, the Iris Book Cafe opened quietly on Main St. in Over-the-Rhine, and the positive word-of-mouth is already spreading. Owner Julie Fay, who also owns Urban Eden up the street, has transformed this storefront into a sleek, sophisticated space with a very open feel. The muted tones of the interior lend themselves perfectly to the black-and-white photography exhibit lining the walls and contrast well with the eclectic used book selection, with its ratty, multi-hued spines.

Scary, isn't it!  Summer is the time of year when outside critters start to seek the cooler inside temperatures of your house as a place to live and make their babies.

Thanks again to all who participated in the BuyCincy Survey and Drawing. Earlier today we randomly and unbiasedly (sorry Sean's mom) selected a winner of the BuyCincy t-shirt and the gift certificate to Greater Cincinnati Independents. And the lucky reader...Michelle Mueller of Covington.

Michelle, we will be contacting you shortly so we can get your shirt preferences. For everyone else trying to do a little celebrity spotting, Michelle will soon be dining at one of the many great restaurants associated with the Greater Cincinnati Independents, so get out there with your cameras and your appetites and help her celebrate. Maybe she'll even show up in her awesome new T.
