Exit Five: Now Open
Welcome to Exit Five: your one-stop destination for discussion of all things Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati--and beyond.
I'm Nattie Hattie. Maybe you've read my posts on the Drinking Liberally in Cincinnati or Wine, Wenches, Books and Biznatches blogs... then again, maybe not. But it's not too late to get to know me.
I live right off the aforementioned Exit Five in Newport, KY. Originally hailing from Central KY. (Richmond, to be precise), I am fascinated by the cultural differences not only between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, but also between Northern and Central KY. In the seven years I have lived in this area, I still feel somewhat of an outsider to Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. Still, being an outsider does have its advantages in that you can take an open, unprejudiced view of your surroundings.
Sometimes it seems that there's more than a river separating Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. And, as someone who appreciates things about both sides, I started this blog as a way to try to bridge the cultural gap between the two.
In addition to discussing news and topics pertaining to Northern KY/Cinti, I'm bound to gab about my other interests, both personal (politics, pop culture, feminism) and professional (quality assurance, usability, accessibility). If any of these interest you, too, by all means join in the conversation.
Please keep in mind that this exit is still somewhat under construction, and may undergo some changes over the next few weeks. I welcome your feedback on the look and functionality of the site.
Finally, I want to give mad props to Michael Wilson, who pimped the Exit Five template (and purchased the domain name for me as an Xmas gift); Julie Hucke (a.k.a. J. Star, who took the photo of the Exit 5 sign on 471 N. (in a speeding car, no less); the unknown individual responsible for the spray-painted heart on the Exit 5 sign; and last but not least, to y'all.Posted by Nattie Hattie at 1:07 PM
