GREATER CINCINNATI<br />

Robert J. Slattery<br />

PUBLISHER<br />

On July 17, 1902, Willis Haviland Carrier designed the first<br />

modern air-conditioning system, launching an industry that<br />

would fundamentally improve the way we live, work and play.<br />

I’ll admit, there’s nothing like coming in from my garage on a hot afternoon,<br />

after working in the yard or playing a game of tennis and being welcomed with a<br />

blast of cold air as I walk through the door. But I try to not let the temperature<br />

keep me inside for too long. There are so many reasons to get out of the house<br />

this time of year.<br />

Speaking of tennis, I love the energy and excitement surrounding the<br />

<strong>Cincinnati</strong> Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. Several of the world’s best<br />

tennis players will be on the courts <strong>August</strong> 11 through <strong>August</strong> 19. Having served<br />

as past president and board member with Tennis For Charity (TFC), an organization<br />

instrumental in the development of the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Open, I am proud to<br />

have played a part in this event as well as all the amazing local programs funded<br />

through TFC. Learn more at: tennis4charity.org.<br />

Then there’s an annual favorite, HOMEARAMA ® . Ellen and I are getting ready<br />

to expand our outdoor living area and we know we will be inspired touring six<br />

incredible homes priced as high as $2.2 million. (Preview on page 31)<br />

My son Bobby is also behind another great reason to get outside in <strong>August</strong>—<br />

Tour de CROWN—a bike ride for all abilities with three distance options starting<br />

and ending at Fifty West Brewing Company, right off the Little Miami Scenic<br />

Trail. Proceeds benefit Tri-State Trails. (See calendar of events on page 42)<br />

And finally, there’s the hot food fans’ favorite: Jungle Jim’s Weekend of Fire,<br />

which celebrates all the hot and spicy foods we love. It’s a hugely popular event<br />

which draws thousands of hotheads each year. (Details on page 25)<br />

By the way, cool beverages will be available at all of the above Greater<br />

<strong>Cincinnati</strong> summer events. Thanks for reading…and feel free to get in touch:<br />

Checklist<br />

Ten ideas to help create<br />

an inviting first impression<br />

We’ve all walked or driven past those homes that just call to us like sirens. Sometimes the<br />

call is strong enough that we actually dream of living there. At the very least we want to<br />

be invited inside and meet the people who surely must be as charming or elegant as their<br />

home.<br />

Maybe it’s the perfect splash of robin’s egg blue paint on the front door. Or it might be the<br />

overflowing planters that hang like jewelry from the windows. If you are passing by at night,<br />

it could be the inviting landscape lighting that turns each tree into a work of art.<br />

Chances are, it’s multiple layers such as this that give a particular home a more welcoming<br />

vibe than its neighbors. We invite you to take a step out to your own curb, turn around and<br />

face your home and see which of these ideas might work to make it more inviting—or if<br />

you are considering selling anytime soon—more marketable. ➻<br />

home & leisure <strong>2024</strong> 15


1<br />

Seating on the front porch, perhaps<br />

in the form of two rockers<br />

or a swing is a great way to add to<br />

the inviting feel of your home. Plus it<br />

encourages you to engage with neighbors<br />

and the activity on your street.<br />

If you don’t have a porch—or even if<br />

you do—a bench placed farther out in<br />

the yard or along the driveway is another<br />

great option.<br />

2<br />

Whether it’s a cluster of ceramic<br />

pots at your front door,<br />

or window boxes framing your<br />

windows, containers full of your favorite<br />

flowers and greenery offer a serious<br />

amount of charm and color. Mix<br />

and match your selections to suit your<br />

lighting conditions and color scheme.<br />

3<br />

Start right at the curb with<br />

your mailbox. If your mailbox<br />

door won’t stay closed or the<br />

post is tilting like the Tower of Pisa, it<br />

might be time to replace it with a new<br />

version. A bed of drought-tolerant<br />

flowers around the base or a climbing<br />

clematis begin the charm streetside.<br />

4<br />

Clean is simple. No need to<br />

hammer this home. Clean windows,<br />

and power-washed siding,<br />

driveways and walkways are hard<br />

to beat when it comes to that wellcared-for<br />

look.<br />

16 home & leisure <strong>2024</strong>


5<br />

If your door needs a bit more than a paint<br />

refresher, you might consider replacing it.<br />

New doors, typically constructed from steel<br />

or fiberglass, will most likely be better insulated,<br />

more durable, more secure and require less maintenance.<br />

6<br />

If your doorknobs, knocker, or street numbers<br />

are dingy or outdated, think about<br />

replacing them with something fresh and<br />

modern. If you don’t have street numbers, think<br />

about adding them either at the mailbox or near<br />

your front door. Oiled-bronze finishes work well for<br />

a traditional style, while brushed nickel adds a more<br />

contemporary vibe.<br />

7<br />

Lighting, in layers, adds to the nighttime<br />

charm of your home. Create a clear path to<br />

your front door by placing fixtures in trees<br />

so that they shine down on the walkway. Uplight<br />

a specimen tree for a dramatic effect. Incorporate<br />

a variety of lighting fixtures to create a feeling of<br />

warmth and provide a sense of security. If you<br />

aren’t able to use lights that require wiring, think<br />

about solar fixtures.<br />

8<br />

Stairs, walkways and driveways all will benefit<br />

from a fresh coat of paint or sealer. You<br />

might want to cover your front steps with<br />

an exterior grade tile. Or, if the budget permits, consider<br />

reshaping your front walkway from a straight<br />

concrete line to a curved paver approach. This adds<br />

visual interest and often serves as a free-form type<br />

of edge for your planting beds. ➻<br />

Exterior lighting by Nite Lites<br />

home & leisure <strong>2024</strong> 17


9<br />

Add splashes of color in<br />

planting beds placed strategically<br />

around your home—<br />

the front of your yard near the street,<br />

along driveways or walkways, and<br />

immediately in front of the house.<br />

Choose plants to frame, rather than<br />

hide, your façade. Include a mix of<br />

sizes, colors, and textures with a<br />

blend of annuals, perennials and evergreens<br />

for year-round color. Prune,<br />

weed and mulch for that well-caredfor<br />

look.<br />

Photo by Ross Van Pelt<br />

In homes with frontfacing<br />

garages, garage<br />

doors make up a significant<br />

portion of what passersby see<br />

from the street. Similar to your front<br />

door, these can be painted and hardware<br />

can be replaced. A color that<br />

matches your siding will make garage<br />

doors blend in, while a contrasting<br />

color—perhaps the same as your<br />

front door—will make them stand<br />

out. And again, should it be time to<br />

replace, newer garage doors are often<br />

more durable and better insulated.<br />

They’re available in a bevy of styles<br />

ranging from traditional and classic<br />

to minimalistic and contemporary.<br />

THE<br />

IS ON<br />

If you’re one of the some who like it hot, you’ll want to join fellow enthusiasts at Jungle<br />

Jim’s Weekend of Fire: Hot Sauce and Hot Rides, taking place on <strong>August</strong> 24 and 25.<br />

In its 15th year, the largest fiery food show in the Midwest returns to the international<br />

market’s Oscar Event Center in Fairfield. In past years, over 2,000 people have attended<br />

the annual two-day event.<br />

Hot sauces, salsas, mustards, rubs, marinades, beef jerky and plenty more of the spicy<br />

foods you love will be available to sample—and purchase—if you find that favorite pick<br />

with a kick.<br />

“If you ever wished to try a wide variety of spicy or hot foods, this is the event for<br />

you,” says Zack Cobb, Jungle Jim’s creative director. “I compare this to a public version<br />

Enter the Arena of Fire<br />

Do you consider yourself a champ at taking the heat? Sign up—if you dare—and enter the Arena of Fire!<br />

That’s where participating vendors will compete in spicy recipe challenges. It might be hot pickles or flaming<br />

pizzas, or who knows? Go head-to-head with family and friends in a battle of wills to see who beats the<br />

burn! Keep an eye out for sign-up booths at the show to join the fun. Spaces are limited.<br />

Refresh in the Cool Zone<br />

If you can’t take the heat…even for a few minutes, it’s time to visit our all-new Weekend of Fire Cool Zone!<br />

Take a break from the heat with refreshing drinks and treats to sample for between-fire cool downs, then<br />

dive back into the spice you love!<br />

Do a Tabasco dash<br />

Craft your own hot and spicy cocktail at The Singe Bar! Jungle Jim’s bartenders will provide the spirits for<br />

you to make what you deem to be the perfect Bloody Mary. Try something new and make it as mild or as<br />

wild as you want.<br />

Hang out with the hot rides<br />

On Sunday, over 50 hot rides from Cincy Cool Cars Club will shine in the Oscar Station parking lot. Touring<br />

the car show is free and open to the public, but a ticket is required for full access to the Weekend of Fire<br />

festival next door.<br />

Fun for the whole family<br />

Showgoers of all ages will love the live music and creative entertainers including stilt walkers, fire performers,<br />

balloon twisters, LED performers, and more. A 360 Photo Booth will be available to capture the day’s<br />

fun memories.<br />

Show hours are 11am - 6pm on Saturday and 11am - 4pm on Sunday.<br />

Tickets are $2 for children ages 5 and under, and $15 ages 6 and up. (plus tax and service fee)<br />

healthy pets<br />

Smart solutions for today’s busy dog lovers<br />

BY BLAINE BACHER<br />

Amidst countless commitments and the demands from our careers<br />

and children, the well-being of our furry friends remains paramount.<br />

So how can we merge their needs with our bustling lifestyles?<br />

More than movement:<br />

The cornerstones of canine health<br />

Exercise as a ritual: An average dog requires<br />

30 minutes to two hours of activity<br />

daily. Factors like breed, age, and<br />

temperament play a role. For instance,<br />

while a Golden Retriever or Labradoodle<br />

might chase the wind, an elderly<br />

Chihuahua might prefer a leisurely<br />

walk. Start with gentle strolls, gradually<br />

intensifying the regimen based on your<br />

pet’s health and enthusiasm.<br />

Nourishment tailored to activity:<br />

Just as exercise is tailor-made, your<br />

dog’s diet should be too. An active dog<br />

might require energy-rich food to fuel<br />

its adventures, while a more docile one<br />

might benefit from a balanced diet that<br />

prevents weight gain. Always ensure<br />

they get the right nutrients post-exercise<br />

to aid recovery.<br />

Hydration, the silent hero: Water is<br />

as crucial to dogs as it is to us. When<br />

your dog exercises, especially during<br />

warmer months, ensure they have constant<br />

access to fresh water. Dehydration<br />

can quickly escalate from lethargy to severe<br />

health issues. Position water bowls<br />

both inside and outside the house for<br />

easy access during their escapades. On<br />

hot days especially, you might consider<br />

taking a water bottle and folding bowl<br />

with you on walks to give your pup a<br />

much-needed drink.<br />

Traditional to tech-savvy solutions for<br />

your pet’s independent exploration<br />

Traditional fences: Time-tested security<br />

fences provide a tried-and-true method<br />

of keeping your furry friend safe and<br />

secure. These physical barriers not<br />

only prevent your pet from wandering<br />

off but also offer a visible and tangible<br />

boundary for them, ensuring peace of<br />

mind for busy dog owners.<br />

Boundary bliss:<br />

Underground pet fence<br />

The underground pet fence, a blend of<br />

innovation and safety, stands guard,<br />

ensuring your pet’s freedom. A gentle<br />

nudge reminds them of their safe confines,<br />

allowing them to enjoy their autonomy<br />

securely. Boasting containment<br />

success of 99 percent or higher with<br />

proper installation and training, an<br />

electric dog fence is a safe and affordable<br />

solution to help serve your family’s<br />

needs.<br />

The gateway to freedom: Dog doors<br />

Empower your pet with a dog door, allowing<br />

them to weave in and out as they<br />

wish. Amidst conference calls or school<br />

runs, they can embark on spontaneous<br />

outdoor adventures. Modern solutions<br />

cater to varying pet sizes and are effortlessly<br />

installable, fitting every homeowner’s<br />

capability.<br />

By understanding your pets’ needs<br />

and meeting those needs with a mix of<br />

traditional and tech solutions you can<br />

ensure their well-being while having the<br />

joyful experience of seeing them enjoy<br />

their freedom.<br />

Blaine Bacher has championed superior<br />

pet solutions with Pet Stop Dog Fence<br />

Systems since its birth in 1994. For a<br />

more profound insight into canine health,<br />

safety, and state-of-the-art solutions,<br />

delve into petstop.com/blog. Celebrate<br />

every bark, every wag, every joyous moment!<br />
