Hyde Park project latest test to see if Mark Twain was right about Cincinnati
The quote about Cincinnati being "20 years behind the times" is commonly attributed to Mark Twain. No one knows for sure whether the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" author really said it, but it's a funny line nonetheless − until you realize how often it rings true. For all of our charm and tradition, Cincinnati has a long history of resisting change. We hesitate. We debate. And while we stall, other cities surge ahead. The proposed redevelopment of Hyde Park Square is our latest test. And if we don't start embracing smart, intentional growth, we're going to fail it. As someone who has spent 13 of the past 14 years living in Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout − and as a lifelong Cincinnatian − I care deeply about the direction of our city. Like many others, I've been watching the conversation around this project with great interest. And I believe it's exactly the kind of forward-thinking investment our neighborhood needs. More: Where they stand: Cincinnati City Council on controversial Hyde Park Square rezoning You've likely heard the opposition to the plan. They've made their voices loud and clear. But there's another side to this story − one that's often quieter but no less important. I, and many others like me, believe this project offers an overdue opportunity to breathe new life into the Square. Because let's be honest: Hyde Park Square is iconic, but it's not thriving. Take a walk around, and the signs are obvious − empty storefronts, quiet evenings, and a general sense that this once-bustling district is coasting on nostalgia more than momentum. Despite living nearby for over a decade, I've rarely chosen the Square for dinner or a night out. Not because I don't want to, but because it simply isn't the kind of destination it should be. We can't afford to be sentimental at the expense of sustainability. If we want vibrant neighborhoods, we have to support the kind of development that brings in people, energy, and investment. Look no further than our neighbors: Loveland, Milford, Mt. Lookout, Over-the-Rhine, Clifton, Newport, Covington − even Norwood with its Factory 52 project. These places leaned into progress and are better for it. Why shouldn't Hyde Park do the same? More: Cincinnati council should respect Hyde Park and reject this oversized proposal | Opinion Opponents of the project aren't rejecting the need for change; they're rejecting how that change is being proposed. And that distinction is important. Because when even the critics acknowledge that Hyde Park Square has lost its spark, it signals a broad consensus: something needs to happen. So, the question isn't if we act, it's whether we'll let disagreement over details derail momentum altogether. Of course, the "how" matters. Thoughtful design, traffic considerations, and community input are all critical. But using those concerns as a reason to reject the project outright is short-sighted. It's like refusing to renovate a crumbling home because you can't agree on the paint color. We can − and should − work through the finer points. But we cannot let perfectionism become paralysis. The longer we wait, the more we risk watching Hyde Park slip further into irrelevance − not because it lacks potential, but because we lacked the courage to pursue it. And let's be clear: If we don't support the Cincinnati-based developers who understand our city, we leave ourselves vulnerable to out-of-town investors who don't have to live with the consequences of their decisions. That rarely ends well. More: Sharing Hyde Park with more neighbors won't destroy its charm. It'll enhance it | Opinion This isn't just about one corner of Cincinnati. It's about how we see ourselves as a city. Are we a place that's willing to evolve, to grow, to invest in the future? Or are we content to live in the shadow of what used to be? The redevelopment of Hyde Park Square is more than a building project − it's a chance to show that Cincinnati can still lead, still adapt, still move forward. I hope we rise to meet the moment.

Eater applauds Graeter's Skyline ice cream, says Travis Kelce can 'eat his words'
Travis Kelce was totally wrong for dissing Graeter's Skyline Chili-flavored ice cream, according to a national dining reporter. Amy McCarthy, a reporter for Eater, the national food and dining brand owned by Vox Media, admitted she was unsure about the new collaboration between the two Cincinnati brands, but ultimately gave a glowing review. She dubbed the treat "a dose of comforting nostalgia for a lifelong Cincinnatian" and "a fun way to introduce a total stranger to the magic of Skyline chili." "In the ice cream, I tasted allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, maybe a little clove. That combo is, of course, also extremely popular in desserts and baked goods, and it makes total sense in a pint of ice cream," she wrote, noting there isn't actual chili in the treat. The Dallas-based food reporter identified a "quite pleasant" savory taste in the ice cream that keeps the treat from tasting too much like eggnog or cinnamon rolls. She also applauded the brands' use of the classic Skyline oyster crackers for a hint of saltiness that "somehow remained crispy despite being smothered in cream and frozen." McCarthy's review, published Wednesday, went on to criticize Kelce, a University of Cincinnati Bearcats alum, for writing off the Greater's/Skyline collab as "disgusting" in his "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. "Perhaps if the Chiefs win their record third consecutive Super Bowl, Travis Kelce ... will also be ready to eat his words and celebrate with a nice, cool bowl of Skyline chili ice cream," McCarthy wrote. The star Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is a documented Cincinnati-style chili hater, said in Wednesday's podcast episode that there was no chance he would try the flavor. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great and fellow UC alum, said he's, "a sucker for these stupid new food item things," name checking Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco. According to McCarthy, though, Graeter's Skyline Spice ice cream sets itself apart from other brand collaborations. "There's a sense with a lot of these 'brand collabs' that they're just marketing stunts ... but that's not the case here." Skyline Spice is currently available in 5-ounce scoops at all Skyline restaurants. It is also available to purchase by the pint or by the scoop at all Graeter's scoop shops and by the pint at select Kroger stores throughout Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville. Availability may vary by location, though, so it's always best to call your local store and/or restaurant ahead of time. The new flavor is also available nationwide through This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Eater applauds Graeter's Skyline ice cream, criticizes Travis Kelce
