"Newly Revitalized" and "Renewed Dynamism"

Check out this press release, from a New York City firm, touting next week's Oktoberfest:

Dear Jane:

Cincinnati, at one time the nation’s “first boomtown”, is using its arts and culture to rebuild and to prosper once again-- attracting residents, businesses, and tourists alike.

We invite you to come and see for yourself this September—while celebrating the nation’s largest Oktoberfest!

On September 22-23, Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati will attract more than 500,000 attendees eager to enjoy the rich German heritage of Southwestern Ohio, as well as sample of German-style music, food and beer. Every year, the world’s largest Chicken Dance also takes place at the festival, with a soon-to-be-announced celebrity leading the way…

The festivities will take place in Cincinnati’s Fountain Square, which underwent a $42 million renovation last year. Lined with restaurants, retail storefronts, and nightlife, Fountain Square has been a catalyst in the rejuvenation of downtown Cincinnati.

New arrivals to the scene will include the Bootsy Ruby nightclub and Buddakhan’s Classic Rock Café. New restaurants such as Minneapolis-based Oceanaire and Boca Restaurant Group’s Mexican restaurant Nada have opened within the past year. In all, Cincinnati is home to more than 4000 restaurants - and the largest concentration of chili restaurants in the world!

In addition to Fountain Square, the city’s recently renovated and new museums – all within walking distance of each other - offer a singular experience for visitors:
The Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art was designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid.
The Cincinnati Art Museum is consistently ranked a top national museum alongside the Met in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, opened in 2004, guides visitors through the legacy of the Underground Railroad.

I’d be happy to share more about the exciting development that is attracting increasing numbers to Cincinnati- raising average occupancy rates to 92% for downtown apartments and nearly 87% office space.

I look forward to following up with you soon to explore opportunities to share the city’s renewed dynamism with your readers.

Regards,

Karolyn

What?!

Why is the Greater Cincinnati Chamber using a New York PR firm to distribute releases?

That really smacks of hypocrisy since they are charged with creating economic opportunities in the region and yet outsource what many Cincinnati PR firms could do as well, if not better.

You folks at the Enquirer should really get paid extra for being a PR firm for companies and politicians, as you always post their press releases here.

Posting press releases isn't blogging.
