At 11 seconds into the video is 2138 Hatmaker on the left where I lived until I was 11 years old. The church on the right was just a basement then. We called them "Holy Rollers". They made a lot of noise on weekday nights. Oyler school is up ahead on the right where I went to school K-6. We had no hot running water until I was 8 and shared the commode with the people across the hall. Once a week on a Saturday night my dad brought up a circular galvanized tub and my mom heated water on the stove and I sat on a wooden board and I took a bath once a week whether I needed to or not. The building was full of rats and roaches. I did not know we were poor until Leave It To Beaver came on TV. 2138 had 6 families in a total of 15 rooms. I slept on a roll-away bed in the kitchen. I have often joked that eve Everybody that I went to grade school with is either dead or in prison. At 1:11 at the top of Price Hill stands a radio tower. I recall watching it being built from my baby bed. At 2:58 on the left is St. Michael's Catholic Church where my parents were married in 1947. At 6:20 on the left is State Avenue Methodist Church were my mother attended. At 11:18 on the left is the Fifth Third Bank. Every night from about 8 a one legged man sold hot tamales from a cart in front of there. That corner, Eighth and State, had 6 bars I do believe. At 13:05 on the right in the vacant lot was "Howards Market". He was a butcher and sold some other packaged foods. He had penny pretzels in a jar and took pop bottles at 2 cents each. That was how I got my baseball card collection back then for a nickel a pack -- five cards plus bubble gum. I picked the bottles up off the street.
When I lived there until 1960 it was mainly poor German Catholics and poor city whites -- all white. We spoke with a "Cincinnati" accent but not Appalachian.
I live on a beautiful clean street and a clean neighborhood with beautiful homes on the west side, where do you be going? And why? You can't just lump all the west side of Cincinnati dirty its obvious you haven't been in Green Township or Delhi or even Covedale as a matter of fact to make that comment
I grew up here in the 60-80's, it was a clean poor neighborhood, but within a 6 block radius everybody knew everybody. Many worked in the now gone factories, all the mom and pop stores gone, restaurants gone. Lots of buildings are gone. This place is a drug heaven, gun fights. Unless they get rid of public housing, welfare, food stamps, maybe people will take pride in themselves instead of the government owes me. And work for a real living.
I am sitting in my mom's 10th floor condo in upper price hill. Where the incline restaurant is overlooking the entire city. This little area is extremely gentrified. 2 blocks away it is homeless everywhere.
Is that over near Bushnell Street, like 2600 Bushnell apartments. Looking at that area but now I'm really reconsidering. Price Hill seems to be an absolute shit show.
To think that the Mayor is running for Senate, Governor(?), I don't recall on the back of having turned that savage hellhole around ... Politics, right?
@@charlene6676 You are a whole 100% lie. LPH has always been a rundown hillbilly ghetto. If you're talking about back in the day being the 1940's, I wasn't around for that but I've been going to and through LPH since the mid 80's and it's always been crappy.
I lived in lower price hill from 1993 till 2020 now I live in Pennsylvania and I do come back to lower price hill to visit with family and friends here and there
Democrats have turned things around for the better. Under the Republicans, trickle-down economics doesn't work very well for the middle-class or the poor. Sorry to hear you didn't get a good education.
Its a terrible neighborhood but not our worst. This is what happens when dems have been in office. Guns, criminals, gangs, drugs They destroy once nice areas all over the country.
@@263sparky3 Lower Price Hill runs from the Mill Creek to the foot of Price Hill. Back in the day (1955) the Mill Creek was the white-colored dividing line.
