quicko: downtown

Living outside of cosmopolitan Cincinnati, I have to say it never once occurred to me to pack up and head into the city for a night of luxury in a hotel 30 minutes away from my own comfy bed. Sydneysiders, though, clearly have more creativity, or possibly disposable cash. They do it with surprising vigor, they make a day of it and have a ball while I'm curled up under a blanket with a book. Guess they're not in Cincinnati anymore.
