Top 5 things to do in Cincinnati this weekend: April 30-May 2
1. Free First Day at Great Parks of Hamilton County
While any day is a good day to commune with nature and celebrate the great outdoors, Great Parks of Hamilton County gives you even more incentive the first day of each month, when the park system allows access without the need for a Great Parks Motor Vehicle Permit. On
Saturday – and every first day of the month through October – you can experience over 17,700 acres of natural habitat, nearly 80 miles of trails, lakes and river access, playgrounds, dog parks, golf courses and more without the need for the permit.

Remus and his wife Imogene threw lavish parties at their Westwood mansion, which some believe helped inspire F. Scott Fitzgerald s Jay Gatsby in
The Great Gatsby. The King of the Bootleggers eventually was arrested, found guilty and jailed for two years, during which Imogene filed for divorce and fell in love with federal agent Franklin Dodge. On the way to court to finalize the divorce in 1927, Remus shot and killed Imogene in Eden Park – and then beat a murder charge by pleading temporary insanity. Long before O.J. Simpson, the Remus trial was called the trial of the century, Friedman says. Many people don t know about Remus, but hopefully more will know about it after this weekend.
