Cincinnati, Ohio: Unexpectedly, It's Pretty Awesome

We visited Cincinnati, Ohio. There I explored the lovely, but quiet downtown. Afterwards I drove up Vine to the Over-The Rhine urban district, one of the largest in the United States. In 2009, it was named the most dangerous neighborhood in the country. Then the city began a massive redevelopment of the area south of Liberty Street, which splits the district in two. This area became the focal point of gentrification, and many low income residents were displaced, but the area became a thriving apartment/entertainment destination, the best in the city. North of Liberty Street, however, is a different story, as you'll see when I drive through it. Later, together we visit a local restaurant and have the city's signature dish, Cincinnati Chili.
We stayed at the Comfort Inn Cincinnati

Gentrification has been going on for years in Cinci. They are pushing up the hill and soon Over the Rhine will be just dandy too someday. On Vine street at 17:30 is Tuckers. A well known cafe operating since the 50's by two generations. Now closed. Time marches on. The owners feed the needy when asked. Never asked for anything in return. But when a fire hit the place a few years ago, the neighborhood came out in droves to help anyway they could. I might have been dangerous up there from time to time. But it was family. Cheers.

Ah, but you know that's a part of Cincinnati, too! I lived in several areas, but my heart is in Dayton, Kentucky where the Levee (as in Newport on the Levee) begins or ends (however you see it). Even though my address was in KY, I worked in downtown Cincinnati and drove across one of three bridges each day. I look at it like the rooms of your home. Dayton may have been my "bedroom" but downtown Cincy was my "living room!" Both sides of the river happen to have been my "kitchen!!!" :D

The restaurant is more high end and is gorgeous! Carew Tower has an observation deck at the top of the building with some of the best views of the city and the surrounding area, but it’s been temporarily (hopefully) closed for about 2 years.

The Carew Tower observation deck is closed, but its public areas, including the arcade, hotel lobby, and Palm Court restaurant are open. The Art Deco architecture in these areas have been wonderfully restored, and fans are encouraged to visit. Cincinnati has other great Art Deco buildings. Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center is considered one of the best examples of Art Deco in the world. The Dixie Terminal, the 20th Century Theater in Oakley, and the old Burling Dairy in Bond Hill are other fine examples.

Welcome to our city, and let me know if you want any recommendations. Skyline is the best known Cincinnati chili with many locations all over the state and Kentucky, but there also many single location mom and pop Cincinnati Chili places that do a good job. You can find Goetta at almost any breakfast restaurant in town - Glier's is probably the most popular brand you can buy in stores, but you can also get various takes on the recipe at delis around town such as Eckerlin Meats in Findlay Market (which you should definitely visit if you have a chance - closed on Mondays). I think most people like Goetta with an over easy egg (it's a nice mix), but some places also make a good goetta, egg, and cheese omelette.

The reason there are only 309,000 people in the city limits is actually due to the geography. It is named Cincinnati after Cincinnatus and much like rome is a city of seven hills. Since the city is surrounded by seven hills and flanked by a river, it is hard to divert traffic into the heart of the city since the only space to build living quarters is in the outskirts. The city has struggled with this issue for a long time. Interesting fact Cincinnati has 309,000 people but Greater Cincinnati has 3,000,000 people. The more you know.

The MSA is only 2.2 million according to the census the UA which would be considered “greater Cincinnati” is actually only 750,000.

You walked Fountain Square but never took a shot of Cincinnati's famous Fountain! OTR is dangerous, but Price Hill is right there with just as much going on, especially in Lower Price Hill.

You are Conservative or moderate? Catholic? German ancestry? Are obsessed with private school sports and legacies? Love goetta? Love Skyline or Gold Star chili? Are unfailingly polite in public, willing to apologize for anything remotely related to you and isn't your fault? Have "ope" in your daily vocabulary? Love Kroger? Know the East and West rivalry? (Honestly, the West is the only side that feels a weird pride. Heard "West side is the best side" too many times.) A ton of Fortune 500 companies are based here- P&G, General Motors, Kroger, Macy's, Cintas, Fifth Third Bank (not sure about it being a Fortune 500 company, but it is large), Pure Romance (a gross MLM). I can't think of anything else right now. Cheaper cost of living, nature is a little sad compared to like Denver or Ashville. How do I know this? I live in Cincinnati.

@mylet2658 2 года назад

I was raised in Florida and moved to Cincinnati and I go back to Florida often so I really know the differences. Cincy is more affordable with housing and you get paid more to work there depending on what you do. They have a better business culture here due to all the Fortune 500 companies. Florida there is more to do with. The springs beaches and sunshine. But it gets old just being hot and warm doing the year. I love the four seasons here. The traffic is much better here than Tampa Orlando and Miami. So it just depends which part of Florida where you are from and what you do for work and what you do for fun. It’s nice being able to vacation in Florida and work in Cincy.

Pros: Great art scene, a compact city and downtown area, great upscale restaurants, amazing riverfront entertainment and concerts, good universities, German culture, temperate climate, Big airport that goes to many other airports, minimal traffic, it’s a clean city and relatively safe, low taxes, low housing costs, cool farmers markets. Cons: Public school districts are often poor, terrible sports, don’t go to price hill and be careful in OTR at night, nightlife is not great, not very diverse.

@LIVERPOOLandFARBEYONDNEWS Год назад

Liberty and over the Rhine have a lot in common with my area of Bootle in Liverpool in the Uk. regarding how it looks and also the stark difference between the areas which have been developed and which are still deprived. Also a lot of the people in my city of Liverpool do not see themselves as being from England and not english and i rekon we have more in common with usa than we do with the stiff upper lipped posh english. So I get a homely feeling when i see cities like here and like philly and Baltimore cus they look so much like my area.

Cincinnati is named for Cincinnatus, a Roman general who gave up military life to be a peaceful farmer. It's a shame he didn't walk along the river in that 1st shot. It's a make up of 4 massive urban parks with huge innovative award winning playgrounds, gardens, 5 amphitheaters, views, award winning Montgomery Inn, and much more. That bridge he liked is the Paul Roebling Bridge. He built the famous Brooklyn Bridge (exact duplicate) after! Same with Eden Park. The man who designed is designed Central Park in NYC. Eden Park was 1st. Such a shame he didn't take another 20 minutes and drive through 3 more historic neighborhoods with magnificent mansions, yards, walkable centers. He also missed Music Hall and Washington Park by 1 block.

While that’s true, it doesn’t discredit the top quality of Cincinnati’s attractions.

I’ve been to dozens of zoos across the country and it’s still one of my favorites. Then Kings Island has amazing coasters, with The Beast being the longest wooden coaster in the world (and third longest overall, I believe). Plus there are events like Halloween Haunt and WinterFest, and the Zoo’s Festival of Lights is consistently spectacular!

I'm glad my hometown area left a good impression on you and your sweet wife. Ohio is a good place I think, but for a young person it lacks promising opportunities, that's why I bailed out by joining the Navy in 1984, but five of my older siblings (of nine) stayed and have managed to get by, so there's that. Still, I'm glad that I'm here in Philly and not there, but I will not deny that it was a good place to grow up.
