Hey, Cincinnati sports fans! Landon Bartlett here, sports intern for The Enquirer.

Have you had enough of Reds mania yet? FC Cincinnati mania? Neither have I. Though I’ve spent my time primarily on the FC Cincinnati beat, I’ve had the pleasure of riding the wave that is the entirety of sports in the Queen City.

All the buzz surrounding baseball’s hottest team inspired me to look back at the last time the Reds were this fun to watch: 2012. Legends such as Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Aroldis Chapman made for one of Cincinnati’s most electric teams of the past 30 years, leaving so many memories on and off the field.

Take a trip down memory lane to relive all those moments and learn where some of the players from the 2012 Cincinnati Reds are today!

Looking for a new Cuban American-style restaurant? Look no further.

Enquirer food writer Keith Pandolfi recently visited Amador and had plenty to rave about. The restaurant opened in early May at Newport on the Levee inside what used to be Claddagh Irish Pub, which poured its pints there for about 15 years.

Keith enjoyed the tostones, which are served with a bright cilantro sauce. He also praised the cigar-shaped croquettes, stuffed with applewood-smoked ham.
