color me surprised
I have to give it to you, Cincinnati: you really surprised me yesterday. We’re a city that’s often forced to divide our attention and pick a side. East or west side. Gold Star or Skyline.

The wait is finally over. 2014: the summer of the World Cup. We made it! Well almost… though we are less than two months away from the big production kicking off in São Paulo on June 12th.
