I love ending the year with a look at why people visit this blog, and these 10 posts got the most hits in 2013. There are some repeats from 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, plus a few surprises, including a big one at the end.
10. Above, the glorious Liberty Tire ghost sign in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati.

8. The Lilly’s State of Mind Patch print by Lilly Pulitzer [which has now been retired, BTW]:

6. City illustrations by Fernando Volken Togni:
5. Angelina Jolie’s geocaching tattoo, which lists the coordinates for her children’s birth places:

1. Ugh, in a major shakeup, my answers to the quiz You Know You’re from Cincinnati If… went viral this year, garnering by far the most hits. Comments include the gem, “I hope you get the hell out of my city and never come back.” And people say Cincinnati is unwelcoming to outsiders!
