We had a beautiful morning to check out City Flea for the first time! We picked up a cold brew and…read morefresh donuts then people watched as we waited for our family to arrive. Everyone we encountered from attendees to vendors were all friendly and laid back. There were plenty of cool flea market clothing finds but we were mostly attracted to the art, much of which had Cincinnati themes. Our daughter and her boyfriend just moved into a new place, and they got a few pieces of unique art, including a Findlay Market painting, to hang on their walls. Washington Park was well maintained and clean. There were lots of park benches and the shade from the big trees added to the ambiance. The flea market was a great way to spend an hour or so.

While in town, I visited the I Love Cincinnati shoppe to pick up a few souvenirs. This is…read moredefinitely the place to go as they sell all types of souvenirs and apparel. You can find a lot of local sports team merch here too. I picked up a couple of magnets and a WKRP sticker. For those not in the know, WKRP used to be an old sitcom from the late 70's-80's about a radio station in Cincinnati. The shop is located on the 2nd floor of the historic art deco style Carew Tower. This tower is also home to the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland. The interior although grand was sparsely occupied by businesses. Ghost town vibes for sure however the grand architecture within the building is worth walking around in. The only difficulty we had was finding parking. This shop is in the downtown area and parking spaces are hard to come by. My husband ended up driving around and picked me up when I finished shopping.

My hubs dropped me and my son off at what looked like an abandoned mall. As we walked around I…read morejoked how it was like dawn of the dead, my son did not get the reference and wondered what we were doing. No signs, nothing, just abandoned space, you keep walking and then you're like well should we try going up these stairs? We finally found someone and asked how to find the gift shop. Up more stairs! So we went and it was really hot up there. I see another review from 2022 about it being hot so I guess they never did fix that AC :P anyway the guy was nice who worked there, friendly and I felt bad he has to sit in that hot store all day. We got our stuff and left. The little expedition made me think to just grab stuff in the airport on our way home from now on :P It's not only Cincinnati but lots of towns it can be hard to find a shop like this.

These are not your everyday sneakers! There are so many designs you won't find anywhere else. I have now been back to the Unheardof store multiply times. Each time finding more cool shoes and some very unique shirts as well. The customer service is always excellent! What also makes me recommend the store is the reasonable pricing. Quality high end items at prices that one can afford.

After discovering and following Unheardof on Instagram and often seeing shoes and sometimes…read moreclothing I liked, I finally stopped into the shop. Now I wish I had known about them years ago! But that probably would have cost me a lot of money over the years. A specific pair of shoes brought me in and even though they didn't fit the way I liked I quickly found another pair. I ended up purchasing a nice pair of brown leather Nikes. The selection of shoes consists of skater and hip hop style sneakers from brands like Vans, Nike, and Adidas. They appear to carry limited edition styles from all the brands. Before I left the store I looked around at some of the clothing. There were t-shirts, hoodies, jogger pants, and jackets that followed in the same athleisure style as the shoes. There was even a small discount section in back where I found an awesome Alpha Industries flight jacket for half off. As soon as I tried it on I knew that I couldn't live without it. They carry both men's and women's merchandise, however, the selection for men is noticeably larger. The women's selection is similar to men's in both brands and styles. Unheardof also has it's own brand of clothing. I noticed that one section of the wall was covered in skateboards so I assume those were for sale as well. The store is clean with a hip boutique feel and lots of colors and open space that feels welcoming and makes it easy to shop. The employee that helped me was nice, helpful, and polite. I had a great experience and will definitely be back.

And lucky enough for my bank account, it is such an amazing price point! I have found that similarly styled boutiques are often 3x that than the price of The Native One. I was so happy when they opened expanded their online site to a storefront.. its so adorable!
