Vine-L Friday July 24th

So if you don't know by now, the Gateway Quarter is the main focus of OTR revitalization lately. They have a lot of wonderful shops there that are well known (Park + Vine) and lesser known (Little Mahatma). My favorite garden shop is in the middle of it all (City Roots) and this Friday all of the shops in that area are having a big sale. Before you go to the Bad Veins CD release party on Fountain Square, check out the other side of downtown and see if you can score some goods!

When you're done with shopping, take a break and have a bite to eat at Lavomatic or walk down another block to Venice on Vine, a wonderful pizza shop run by the non-profit Power Inspires Progress. Its run by a couple of nuns and staffed by people from the area trying to start their lives over. Not only do you get a great slice of pie, but you get a warm fuzzy feeling when you dine there (and its a lot cheaper than Lavomatic!) Website is: http://www.powerinspiresprogress.com/vporder.htm

Here's the dish (yes, that is a pizza pun):

OTR'S "VINE-L FRIDAY MARKDOWN SUMMER CLEARANCE" - JULY 24Take advantage of the huge mid-summer sales in Over-the-Rhine Gateway this Friday, July 24. Stores will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Park in the lot at the corner of 12th and Vine streets, then cruise by the shops, looking for clearance tags and huge end of season discounts. Participating stores include City Roots, Iris Book Café, Joseph Williams Home, Switch, A Lucky Step, Metronation, Mica 12/v, Outside, Park + Vine and Urban Eden. In addition to shopping, have your Tarot cards read at The Little Mahatma from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and stop by Lavomatic at 1211 Vine Street for a delicious meal.

I personally have been eyeing some furniture @ Joseph Williams, which already has some pretty reasonable and tasteful stuff, so i hope they have some good sales! To clarify, Urban Eden is on Main St, and definitely worth the 3 block walk!
