Cincinnati, Ohio

On Thursday, the nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the final phase of its Request for Proposal (RFP) process to host the Sundance Film Festival starting in 2027. Cincinnati, as well as Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah, and Boulder, Colorado, were chosen to move forward in this process. The winner will be announced sometime in early 2025, after the 2025 Sundance Film Festival has concluded.

Next spring, Air Canada will establish a nonstop flight to Montreal, the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec, starting May 22.

Hopefully this one sticks around.

TL:DR- this is from the creator of Wodka Bar up at 13th and Main in OTR. Food has always been delicious so curious how this pans out.

It’s a nifty little feature not unlike the phone’s tap-to-pay service, but while the virtual card is handy for getting through TSA checkpoints, in many other circumstances — like voting or a traffic stop — it just won’t cut it.

Metro, the region’s largest transit agency, has released a request for proposals to examine whether it is feasible to move its main Government Square bus station to the Riverfront Transit Center underneath Second Street or elsewhere downtown.
