Finding "Short Vine"

Finally, a big, bold, trendy, new, highly visible Short Vine sign

If you live in Cincinnati, you probably know how to get to Short Vine. But imagine coming to Corryville or Clifton as a new UC student or an out-of-town visitor. You crave some entertainment or at least a better selection of food than what's available on campus. You ask a friendly stranger for guidance. "You'll find what you want on Short Vine," the stranger says. So...

• You wander up Vine St and down Jefferson. 
• You get lost on Martin Luther King Dr. 
• You get turned around in the hospital district. 
• You gawk at the beautiful Frank Gehry architecture as you pass.
• You U-turn into UC's campus and get called out by a campus cop for trespassing or parking illegally. 
• You search long and hard. 
• You search north and south, east and west, and yet you never find "Short Vine." 

Until now

While I won't get you all confused with explanations about how there came to be both a "Vine" and a "Short Vine," I can tell you this. After all these confusing years (I remember "Short Vine" from the early 70s when I was at UC) somebody finally had the common sense to put up som great big signs.

Thank You!
