Want Cheap Airfare on Delta? Move to Cincinnati

We never thought there'd be a single strong argument for relocating to Cincinnati, that limbo land which is not quite Ohio and yet not quite Kentucky. As always, leave it to the airlines to topple our belief in the big hubs with moves like Delta's new reductions on ticket prices out of Cincy's Covington Airport.

Apparently both leisure and business class fares from the Delta hub have been reduced by up to 58%, such as the Cincy-LAX route which used to be $310 one-way but is now $130, which means more money for the in-flight drinks you'll need to oil up for the transition from midwest to west coast.

Although a rate decrease is always great news for travelers, we can't help but think back to the days of Skybus and their cheap-o deals for those (un)fortunate enough to be based in Columbus. This rate decrease, being almost like a sale without no void date, is a plea from Delta to make their Cincinnati presence worth their while. So please, for the sake of the residents of the Ohio River valley who enjoy taking vacations further afield than Gatlinburg, fly Delta out of the Cincinnati and remind the airline why they have a hub there in the first place.

Southgate House

It may not be as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside, but Southgate House is still one of the Cincinnati area's premier rock 'n' roll venues. This old mansion, located across the river in Newport, Kentucky, hosts locals bands and big touring acts alike. It's right across the street from the consumer hell of an aquarium and bustling shopping complex, but you wouldn't know it once you step inside. What Southgate House lacks in interior architectural character, it more than makes up for with slacker charm. Concertgoers head straight for the Ballroom, but there are other interesting sections to the House: Junies Lounge, the Parlour, and the Gallery. The place has a storied past, and, haunted or not, it's a fine place to spend your night in town.
