Cincinnati Food Trucks: Awesome or Not?

If you’re downtown during business hours at all (and hey, who isn’t?  What?  Lots of people?  BUNK.), you’ve probably seen a food truck or three posted up in various spots around town.  They seem to be all the rage or whatever, and folks seem to like the food a lot.

Pros:

  • Adds another layer of urbanistic flair to our downtown area.
  • The food’s pretty dang good.
  • Finding out where they’re gonna be is actually sort of fun.

Cons:

  • FOOD?  TRUCK?  WHAAAA?
  • If you’re a food hater, you probably won’t like this.
  • Since food trucks aren’t beholden to the same rules as everyone else (this isn’t true), the food is probably rife with disgustingness (also not true).

Fountain Square: Awesome or Garbage?

It’s more or less the center of iconography when it comes to Cincinnati.  It’s the town square, the place people return to, a center for events downtown, and as it turns out, quite a place for a free concert.

Pros:

  • Quite beautiful, isn’t it?
  • Cincinnati has put a lot of time into that place, and it shows.
  • It’s a true city center, something that not a lot of places have anymore.

Cons:

  • Cincinnati has put a lot of money into that place, and it shows.
  • Yawn.  I’ll go somewhere else for my kicks.
  • They just put a lil’ barricade around the fountain.
