When I lived in SC, I went to bike week with my Air Force buds. From what I can remember Bike week was pretty fun.

Oh I forgot, besides the Cincy Skyline Chili (never had this), what other local restaurants/pubs do you guys recommend?

Oh man, Cincy has great food! Try gold star chili, montgomery inn, the precinct, and larossas, those are a few I can think of off the top of my head...

We lived in mason and really liked the area

I will look those up Brandon!

^Ha! I do not think I will be going to any clubs in the near future...unless I decide to start djaying again. I have been thinking about this and Cincy is probably not saturated with electronic music Djays as SoCal is.

Thanks for the Bar and Restaurant guide! I will def check those out when we get there.

There are 4 decent House, Electronica, Disco DJs in the city. I happen to be buds with 3 of em. If you need some part time gigs hit me up, Ill put you in touch with the groups.
Most of the establishments around here frown on that type of music calling it too progressive.

Thanks! I used to spin House/trance and might buy 2 boxes of vinyl house/electro from my friend, just to take to Cincy. I know what you mean, hell my terrorcore that I use to spin scared the crap out of kids here in SoCal. :icon17:

I thought of a couple of other questions.

Besides the Carmax in Cincy, where is a good dealership that I could buy a used Armada?

Anybody also recommend a good firearm dealership that sells firearms/educates people. (I want my wife to learn to shoot a firearm from an expert, also I could use some education on new firearms.) Thanks!

Can't really answer question #1, haven't bought a car local in years. I hear mixed reviews of Kings Automall. Some love it, some hate it.

As far as guns, I would highly recommend one shot in newtown. Very knowledgeable and very nice guys. They are in the process of building a range, until then a few of us on here make the drive down to northern kentucky and go shooting at shooters supply. Don't go to target world unless you wear a kevlar vest.

+1 on what ryan said, One Shot is my spot for guns. They are priced fairly and extremely knowledgeable.

Ive bought cars from jeff wyler and won't do that again.

Thanks guys for the info!

Wow it really has been since Feb since I updated this!

Well, progress finally. My wife got the job in Cincy and her company is ironing out the details on her transition. We do not have a date yet, but we are thinking by Oct or a little later in the month. I am really excited to move out of CA and to be in a new place for next year.

She actually visited Cincy for some training and she liked the areas she visited, including Cincy. She also found a great Sushi place called Joann (I think) near the Toyota plant in Ky. We are still looking at homes, but now we have to sell our home in CA first.

Let the insanity of relocating begin!

ZOMBIE!!!!111!one

Just be aware that you're moving in just in time for the snow...

Lol!
Thankfully we are using movers and driving in the snow is going to be interesting. It will probably push us to buy that Armada.

I drive a corvette with ultra performance summer tires year round. There are maybe 5-7 days total out of the year I cannot make my way around without something more well rounded. Now if I was further north it'd be a different story.

Yeah, that is what I told my family here in CA. I know Cleveland gets some snow though. I rarely drive the Z and the wife will be driving the TC to work, it has all season Kumho ASX tires. She lived in Boise Idaho so she knows how to drive in the snow, me I have only driven during a snow dusting in CA:icon17:. Also we will be buying a Armada for moving the family around.

Yea, I've always had a gf with a car that could get around on those nasty days. I'm newly single, so will need to line someone up at least to get me through the winter months :icon44::D

Just saw this thread, so I figured I'd drop a line. I'll be moving to cinci around the beginning of December. Look forward to hooking up with you guys!

I had no idea there were forum people that lived in Cincy, if anyone is planning a meet, send me a PM and let me know, I'm over in West Chester, close to 747
