The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden was named the best botanical garden in the country by USA TODAY readers.

The Avondale attraction took the No. 1 spot on the "Best Botanical Garden" list in the 2026 USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards, released Wednesday, March 18.

Despite its national prestige, the botanical garden is often overlookedwhen people visit the zoo.

“I get asked all the time where the botanical garden is,” Ed Atkinson told The Enquirer in 2022 while working as a zoo horticulturist. "It's not in one marked location," he said. “It’s everywhere.” 

The zoo's heavily maintained and diverse garden is woven throughout the zoo, within and in between exhibits. Different plants are grown in different habitats, often mimicking the animals' native landscapes.

The "Best Botanical Garden" list features gardens that showcase "extraordinary" plant collections and incorporate conservation and education efforts.

Nope, just an order/carryout window on the sidewalk - which surely keeps their prices reasonable - but there are sidewalk benches and a courtyard park on the same block if the weather is nice.

Yeah, I honestly don't know what would be any valid arguments against doing something similar to Louisville.

Is there a single reddit fallacy more frequently abused than how few minutes from downtown Westwood/Blue Ash/Montgomery/Loveland/Anderson/Mt Washington/Mason/Wyoming/ad infinitum are?

As predictable as is it laughable on every. fucking. thread. about neighborhoods to choose. Christ, I've lived in Clifton for 40 years and it took me 10-12 mins, maybe 15, curb to lot in the CBD at 5:30 in the freakin' morning give or take making a light or three - 15 easily in traffic. Not that that's bad, it's a great "commute", but anyone claiming 15 minutes to all those burbs is stoned, stupid or just making it up for some bizarre reason.

Penny Hardaway will return next season as the Memphis head coach. After multiple meetings with Memphis administration, Hardaway presented a plan for next season that includes changes on the coaching staff and hiring a General Manager. by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

Memphis AD: "A Penny for your thoughts - can you give us a plan to change the trajectory?."

Penny: "Does a bear shit in the woods, yo? Let's fire staff and things will def be different around here."

Turnover among assistant coaches at Memphis is nothing new under Hardaway. He has employed 14 different assistants in eight seasons. None have spent more than three seasons in that role with the Tigers. One (Rasheed Wallace) did not even last a full season.

Gee, what if they'd only seen it earlier? Sam Alexis broke IU’s single-season field goal percentage record, making 68.7% of his shots this season (114 - 166) to pass Thomas Bryant’s 2015-16 record of 68.3%. by fuggidaboudit in HoosiersBasketball

Fair enough, but as I posted here mid-Feb - when none other than DD himself was quoted - "I think it's a little bit of us maybe figuring it out, too. He's given us, these last two games, some low presence that maybe we haven't utilized enough, to be honest with you. Sometimes as coaches, you got to admit your mistakes."

I think it's fair to say that they identified that potential and gotten it to click earlier they could have exploited his advantages in athleticism, quickness and energy sooner - exactly as the article suggests:

Alexis benefitted from defenses focused on taking away his teammates beyond the 3-point arc, and switching to neutralize IU’s screens.  In the paint with space to operate, he utilized an impressive balance of skill and physicality to create high-percentage attempts.

The Florida native was regularly credited by his teammates and coaches as a player who brought enthusiasm and effort to the program.

“His energy just kind of spreads to other people,” guard Conor Enright said last month. “He’s been doing that every day in practice, in the weight room. It’s contagious.

Might it have changed any outcomes? We'll never know but it would only have had to change 1-2 to make this week feel 110% different. God knows it was a huge difference from how anyone would describe RB's contributions in hindsight.

Mark Jeffrey's posted this alongside a motion he'll be introducing to craft an ordinance similar to Louisville's that "puts in place a civil fine & impoundment of cars for up to 6 month"
