What can you find at NVISION? A better question might be: what can't you find? The wares run the gamut from vintage to locally-designed, from clothing for men, women, and babies to home decor and all points in between. The best part?

After a couple month hiatus, Enzo's, the OTR coffeehouse/lunch spot is back up and running. The menu looks very similar to the old one (mmmm....paninis), but still no evening hours: 7:00am to 2:00pm.

The Rohs name is all over Cincinnati, but there are two things you might not know. First, it's pronounced "Russ," not "Rose." Second, and more importantly, you can still buy from the Cincinnati family's hardware store on Vine.
