365CIN Newsletter Dec. 12

Goodnight, Tuesday.

Did you know we have a list of Neighborhood Christmas Lights?

Cincinnati Neighborhood Christmas Lights – Making the Season Bright!

I started this list of neighborhoods with lights YEARS ago. I go through it each year and update as much as I can.

We have a lot of ground to cover in Cincinnati, however! If you can confirm any of the addresses around you, I would GREATLY appreciate your help!

Have an update for me? Or maybe your own house is list worthy? Either reply to this email with the address OR you can send an email to me at [email protected].

ESSENTIALS FOR WEDNESDAY (12-13-23):

Weather: Wednesday’s forecast is for morning clouds and sun in the afternoon with a high of 45° | 5% chance of precipitation

Fitton Art Center has some great classes coming up. You can take an Afternoon Mini Mosaic Sampler (3 Week Class) in January. In this intro to stained-glass mosaics, students will learn the steps for crafting a mosaic - transferring an image, cutting and shaping glass, and grouting the finished design.

Get registered for Anderson Park District’s Puzzle Palooza! Create a team of 2-4 people and race against time, and other teams, to complete your puzzle the fastest. Teams have two hours to try and complete the provided 500-piece puzzle.

Drake Planetarium (Norwood) has some openings for upcoming shows: Destination Space, Let It Snow, and Two Small Pieces of Glass.

GOOD TO KNOW:

The Brickery Cafe and Play recently opened at Newport on the Levee.

Located in the main building at Newport on the Levee (where the movie theater and mall-like shops are), this is a locally owned and operated shop that sells LEGO, allows you to play with bricks, and….

My favorite is their rentals! You can rent a number of sets to build while you’re there. Take your favorite LEGO fan and rent a set to build at one of their tables.

Current rental prices are $3 for a small set (estimated completion time: 15-30 minutes), $5 for a medium set (estimated completion time: 30-60 minutes), $7 for a large set (estimated completion time: 60-120 minutes).

In addition to the rentals and the play tables, they have new and used sets you can purchase as well as a large selection of singles to choose from. They have bins full of small figures and packages for purchase as well.

AND they have some fun specialty drinks, soft drinks, and snacks for purchase too.
