This includes their NKY location, which surprised me. Apparently, an admin from Eggs came over and was irritated they were relegated to the back corner of the store. The store acquiesced and moved them towards the front.

HHI might as well be suburban Cincinnati as many Cincinnatians (myself included) vacation there.

Hilton Head is Ohio South. Its always been a popular destination for people in Columbus as well.

Stopped at the Love's in Ohio just before entering PA and noticed shelves of college ball-caps that included Bearcats, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Penn State and others. The notable omission was Ohio State. That's right. There was not a single OSU cap on the shelves. I made sure I stopped there to gas up on the way back.
Gas is also a LOT cheaper in Ohio than PA or New York, so you should stop there for that reason as well.

Yet before Christmas, the downtown Cincinnati Macy's had O$U gear lining its most prominent walls at the 5th and Race entrance, while UC gear was relegated to less noticeable islands in lesser quantities. This really annoyed me, especially since I just left a UC game at Paul Brown. WTF? Bengals gear also took a prominent spot.

I compliment buyers or managers when possible and buy from stores that stock and prominently display our University's merchandise. It supports UC and builds the brand.
