Today's location is less "I go here often" and more "I run past here at least once a week." But places on my running route totally count as discovery, especially given how terrified I was of getting lost the first time I went that way.
Owl's Nest Park is near O'Bryonville, and I'm not clear if that's a real neighborhood name or just what we call the short row of shops up the road. I tried Googling to find out what neighborhood the park is in, only to discover that the internet is every bit as confused about Cincinnati neighborhoods as I am. (For example: I've heard at least three different takes from the locals on what neighborhood I live in. I have given up on knowing that.)

On Saturday, there were bunches of families out enjoying the nice weather and hunting (term used loosely) for Easter eggs in the park, so I did my best to avoid taking pics of the kids, because people tend to freak out a bit about that. Plus I was midrun and already exhausted with about four miles still to go, so I didn't walk around a lot. As a result, I missed out on the hiking trail (seriously, I don't know where it's hiding--I could see most of the park, I thought, from where I was standing) and didn't get a close look at the pavillion, which was built by CCC. Y'all, Cincinnati has so much cool stuff. And I've barely seen any of it. Sharlie and I will have to take advantage of the upcoming long summer evenings to go do a lot more exploring.
