Meet City Editor Mitch Hooper
Q: Describe your perfect day in CBUS in the length of a Tweet.
A: A mid-70s summer morning at the Clintonville Farmers Market, with a cold brew in hand and a bag full of farm-fresh tomatoes.
Q: If you were taking someone on a tour around CBUS, where are the three places you’re going?
A: Spend the morning in Clintonville, shopping around vintage stores. Then, an afternoon in German Village, walking through the park + grabbing coffee. And lastly, finish the night downtown at a sporting event or local brewery.
Q: Hit us with your favorite piece of local trivia
A: It’s thanks to this position that I now grieve a defunct passenger rail that was well before my time.
