10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Norwood, Ohio 

I grew up in Norwood.. ask me anything.. I know every nook and cranny about that place..... I've partied in those over passes you showed, old tunnels.. also used to party in the now closed up subway tunnels under the old Zumbial Box plant right next to Water Works Park (Shea Stadium)... I know areas of that town that nobody knows about unless you're in your 80s and 90s.. the police and city council don't even know about these areas to this day... some are within the city limits and others are just right outside and very hidden.... I've spelunk the drainage tunnels and other tunnels over near Oakley.. I walked the drainage ditch/tunnels all the way up to Madeira and Milford to other spots to party off of Woosrer Pike..,... I know my grandparents spots to party when they were kids which are still there to this day.... very hidden areas but I keep those spots to myself.. was down there drinking a few beers just last summer by myself.. We were partying kids.. we liked to explore the little tiny city and look for new places to drink beer and have a good time and play some music..

Dancer/actress Vera Ellen who costarred in White Christmas and many other films was from Norwood.

I’m surprised you guys didn’t even mention the GM plant and the Bicycle playing card factory. You guys should do another ten things.

This is my new favorite channel!!

I have always lived within 5 to 7 miles from Norwood, Ohio. Used to work on Highland Ave and passed under the B&O tracks every single day and never knew about the rich history of the city. Big into history and nature so definitely going to be checking it out. Thank you History in your own backyard!!!

I am in Norwood several times a week and had no idea about any of this! Thanks for a great video

Really cool that a town would have so many historical places and loved hearing the details of each one. The drone footage was awesome by the way!!! Good job Susie, very well done!!! ❤

Nice Video! A mention of the massive parking garage that exists on Montgomery which served the General Motors plant would have been cool.

wow - enjoyed this one of the best ones you guys have done - congrats

Surprised that you didn't cover the US Playing Card Company! My grandpa worked there for many decades.

Nice top 10 ! Enjoyed the drone footage and the location maps also! Thanks for the tour of Norwood!

Bonus! #11 Worst streets in Hamilton county. Home of the largest pothole known to man! Come and see! But make sure you have your vehicles suspension inspected before and after you visit! See ya soon!

Awesome

What about Vera Ellen from White Christmas? She was from Norwood. Allison was my elementary school. They are tearing it down now. Breaks my heart.

Great job as usual !

My favorite video yet,Susie.Very interesting .Some of the best on U Tube.Thanks

Great Video

Interesting 👍

I love in Norwood right now and this was so informative. Thank you

My favorite house too.

I remember as a kid, my parents told me that Norwood, OH was one of the largest cities completely surrounded by another city in the world. Don't know if that was by area or population. Do you know this to be true?

My hometown. Loved the drone footage of The former Mount St. Mary’s Catholic Seminary which has been lovingly remodeled now called Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Conference Center. I am so glad someone stepped up to preserve something of such significant and serious historical value. I lived right around the corner as a child and it was always shrouded in mystery. I longed to go inside to see what was hidden there. I finally got my chance recently. It is open to the public for tours as its being used as a retreat and conference space. Fantastic architecture, artwork and gardens. A hidden gem in the middle of Norwood for sure.

My parents grew up there , attended Norwood High school. Grew up across the street from eachother and were married for over 50 years

YOU FORGOT ABOUT VERA-ELLEN !!! CO-STAR IN WHITE CHRISTMAS !!!

I've lived in Norwood my entire life only two houses from the historical Floral and Hudson home. I've always been fascinated by that house and living so close for over 50 years, it was awesome to see it pictured in this vid.

This was a really nice video. How about those crazy water column towers? They're everywhere but hard to find. Thank you, The Newmans

Glad to see so many views in just three days. Great job Susie. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸😊

Love my Hometown

can't remember if it was when i went to norwood view or north norwood but which ever we had field trips to lindner park was pretty cool. that was in the 80s

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the VFW building and right by that there was a UDF (no longer there) my sil and I used to work at. This was back in 2008. I got robbed at that UDF.

I grew up in Norwood from 1965 to 1981 on Atlantic ave. Which doesn't exist anymore. My great Grandpa, Dad and 1 of my uncles are worked for Norwood Fire Dept. I went to Sharpsburg primary and elementary schools also Norwood junior high till my freshman year. Moved to Anderson my sophomore year. There is still alot i remember from my childhood there ! Including the Old firehouse that used to be CO1 Next to city hall along with alot more! Thanks for the video!

Quite Interesting. How about White Oak, Colerain, Westwood, Mt Airy, etc? :) Thanks for the history lesson!

Can you all do drone video of each Cincinnati neighborhood?

A love the music. Was the OLD Ted's Pawn a KROGER long ago?

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about some of the places where you can still see the subway that was never finished. It was going to go through Norwood.

Ah Norwood. So historic, so gentrified. Grandparents and great grandparents lived for over 50 years on Elsmere, cousin went to that Williams street elementary, mom went to Norwood high. Still remember when showcase cinemas was there off paddock, and Gold Circle was across from what used to be John Nolan Ford. I think one neat thing you missed on was the original home of the Bicycle Playing Card company there off Kenilworth and Beech. Parents were even married at the Immaculate Conception church!

Graffiti is vandalism. Vandalism is a felony. I wish more younger folks understood that. Vandals, especially those who deface historical artifacts including buildings, structures etc, should be dealt with harshly - financial restitution, community service and in some cases, incarceration. Once historical artifacts have been defaced, they can never regain their original patina. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but it's true, and I'm sure many will agree. Thanks for video. Fascinating.

Most of us know enough to stay out ☺️

One of Cincinnati original sundown towns, as of today it's no longer a sundown town.

My Dad's railroad tracks.

I thought that tunnel was actually part of the great old Cincinnati Subway system plan before the railroad got the tunnel

Is it weird that I just moved to Norwood a month ago, and RU-vid suggested this video today?

My father went to Norwood high school in the 20 s

11:50, St. Matthew is where I went to grade school in the mid-80s! I suspect it is no longer a Catholic Church or school anymore. Thank you for the footage of my home town!

10:13 I know that house would be on their my grandma used to live across the street and I always thought it was hunted.

what is the music used for this series, i like it very much .

It’s LindNer. They started the United Dairy Farmers 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

its really weird seeing the street that i grew up on in a you tube video, even if its a panoramic drone shot

I believe part of a never used subway tunnel still exists along the Norwood Lateral

What about the Cincinnati subway there’s part of it in Norwood.

You really had a way of making it look not like Cincinnati

Who would have thought? Not me.

I have nevee seen my house from a drone like that. Lol man my roof needs some work lol. Embarrassing

Tartarian building structures

There is a section of Norwood with some truly awesome old houses. Some of them are being brought back to life, but a lot are rental properties and losing their beauty (tis the case in most of Cincinnati). Come on billionaires! Spend some of that $ in Cincinnati and restore all of the structures that our people poured blood, sweat, and tears over in the area's hay day!

My hometown of Norwood also has the weird fact that if you start at City hall, you cannot leave the city without crossing above, or below a highway or railroad. Weird Norwood facts! There were also some serial killers, professional athletes, and even a girl who married into royalty.

I’m surprised that the mention that Norwood is the birth place of Charles Manson… hmm strange..

I grew up around Norwood it was not kind to minorities it wasn't integrating to the 80s that's what I remember! Tell all the history if you're going to tell it!!

Narrative fake news

At 6:27 there are a massive amount of bullet impacts
