CityBeat’s 2016 Love List will introduce you to, in a strictly platonic way, 10 passionate Cincinnatians in various service, creative and philanthropic industries who have turned what they love into their lifestyles. These are portraits of lovable locals striving to make a difference in the world by pursuing a path that celebrates the best in humanity — art, music, kindness, creativity and the ability to dream.

If you haven’t planned for a full-blown getaway this long holiday weekend, there’s still time to design a regional road trip — something a little closer to home, but equally as interesting. We’ve compiled a list of drive-worthy finds within a couple hundred miles of Cincinnati to satisfy all types of people (or at least some types). With selections spanning art adventures, epicurean escapes, interesting oddities and tiny towns, you’re bound to find a reason to buckle up and go.

We’ve curated a few quick trips for resident film buffs, music enthusiasts, sports fans and young wizards to drive to this season; there are even a couple road-trip-worthy destination hotels which are adventures in and of themselves, like a replicated African safari near Cumberland, Ohio or a haunted jail.
