OVER-THE-RHINE - Though the popular Main St. gallery hop in Over-The-Rhine has endured for two decades, Oakley didn't seem to mind starting its own Final Friday this summer, with the same name, and much the same idea, only instead of galleries patrons can walk amongst overpriced furniture stores.

Recently, other neighborhoods have taken notice as numerous other Final Friday's have surfaced.  There is now a Final Friday Northside (a tour of hipster bars), a Final Friday Clifton (strange clothing stores that nobody ever seems to buy from), a Final Friday Hyde Park (more Asian fusion restaurants than you can count), and a Final Friday Newport, which occurs on the last Saturday of the month.  And Covington announced yesterday that it would be moving its popular First Friday gallery hop to the last Friday of the month as well.

Over-The-Rhine groups have expressed frustration over the newcomers.  "We had it first!" exclaimed gallery owner Liza Doolittle.  "We're considering changing the event name to Finalest Friday.  Let them trump that!"
