New Year, Same Great Rookwood
New Year, Same Great Rookwood Happy New Year, Rookwood community! Now that we have officially welcomed in a new year, we have our eyes set on what the future might bring. After living through one of the most unpredictable and unusual years in recent history, we are now ready to shift our focus to the future. It’s safe to say that we’re all running toward the new year at record speed, filled with cautious anticipation. But we’re also taking the lessons we learned in 2020 into the new year. We all had to adapt in ways we could have never imagined for situations we could have never predicted, in everything

2020 Wrap-Up We’ve made it to the last month of the year! We’re not quite sure how we got here, but we are so glad to be wrapping up 2020, a year that was synonymous with “uncertain.” But even with every struggle we worked through, every challenge we faced, we at Rookwood Commons and Pavilion still look back on this year and smile. It’s those very adversities that have got us to where we are today. This year, our community learned how to pivot when unexpected circumstances arose. Take CycleBar, for example, who took the same energy of their in-person spinning studio to livestream workout sessions with their brand new

[Read More]Giving Thanks To Our Community
Happy November, Rookwood family! We can’t believe we have made it to the second to last month of the year, which means that the Thanksgiving holiday is right around the corner. On the one hand, this year seems like the fastest of our lifetimes, a complete blur of irregular schedules and unusual habits. On the other hand, it seems like 10 years wrapped into one, filled with countless hours of livestream calls, social distancing in public, and unique staycations. This time of year, we all tend to be a bit more sentimental as the Thanksgiving holiday nears. Of course, this year’s celebrations will most likely look a little different. But

[Read More]Fall Back Into Fitness with CycleBar
If you’re like many of us here at Rookwood Commons & Pavilion, you’ve gained the dreaded “quarantine 15” this year. It’s a relatively common phenomenon that has plagued people nationwide, given the fact that there has been a lot less daily movement and a lot more visits to the fridge from our home offices. If you’re ready to fall back into fitness, that “quarantine 15” can be worked off at our very own CycleBar indoor cycling studio. CycleBar Hyde Park, located right in the Rookwood Commons & Pavilion shopping center, is more than an indoor cycling studio. In each ride, attendees take a journey of self-discovery, uncovering inner strength and

Crisp autumn air has begun to grace our fair city. We are so eager to welcome this early autumnal shift after one muggy Midwest summer. We’ve loved seeing an influx of shoppers stroll in directly from the Wasson Trail. September is sure to be no different, especially as the leaves on the trees lining the trail begin to turn.

[Read More]Back To School Shopping: 2020 Edition
Summer has come and gone and we are still unsure where time has gone and where we will go next, especially as we enter a new school year. Schools across the city are starting back up again. And while each school’s and each student’s plan looks a little different compared to the other, parents, students, and teachers are grateful to get back to some sort of routine after a summer of uncertainty, even if the long-term plan is still to be determined. Some Cincinnati-area schools are keeping everything in order with cohorts in which students and teachers are divided into distinct groups that stay together throughout the entire day of

This past weekend, Americans celebrated the Fourth of July. We hope you were able to enjoy some free time with family and friends, doing everything from watching your neighborhood’s fireworks in the sky to enjoying a bar-b-que in your backyard.

Our community of shops and restaurants have been eager to reopen since closing our doors to help flatten the curve. And now, many at Rookwood Commons & Pavilion are reopening, with caution, of course. While things have been changing rapidly in Cincinnati, across the state, and throughout the world since March, one thing that won’t be rushed during this time is the process of reopening at Rookwood Commons & Pavilion. Some of our shops and restaurants have stayed open over these last few weeks as “essential” businesses, including Whole Foods and The UPS Store. With Governor Dewine’s approval, retail stores that fell in the “non-essential” category were permitted to reopen

Discover the history of the site that has built our community since 1918. Rookwood Commons & Pavilion is well known for its luxury stores, high-caliber restaurants, and iconic “Le Blond” tower. Places like Starbucks, Nordstrom Rack, and Cyclebar are expected sights to the average visitor. But where did that tall Le Blond-adorned structure and vintage-looking building come from? Before busy shoppers flocked to the center, the 20 plus-acre corner location was once home to the nationally recognized R.K. Le Blond Machine Tool Company. Previously located in the eastside Linwood neighborhood, the then small-but-mighty machine tool manufacturer began with just two lathes, a milling machine, and a few tools. Its first

I, Paul, traveled around the world as an engineer for many years; always returning home to Marlene with new and interesting chocolate. The more chocolate we tried, the more interested we became in how chocolate was grown and made. When my travel stopped early 2013, Marlene and I soon finished our supply of chocolate. We were sitting at the kitchen island when the idea struck–let’s make our own world-class chocolate right here in Cincinnati. After transforming our kitchen into a chocolate factory, we invited our friends over for a number of chocolate tastings. Everyone was impressed and the demand for our chocolate grew. Now we are the proud owners of
