  • Located off of the Ohio River, Cincinnati is a unique large city for Ohio standards. The city has rich history, culture and amenities in the Downtown area. Most people who have never been to the Queen City probably just assume that it's another boring Ohio City, and might not realize that for an entire generation in the 19th century, Cincinnati was one of the nations 10 largest cities. It's obviously not that anymore, but very few cities of it's size provide such a rich history and culture. Today, Professional Sports, museums and a diverse restaurant scene provides plenty of entertainment options and amenities for the residents and tourists to enjoy.

    Edit: So I’ve lived a large portion of my youth not too far from Cincinnati. I don’t live nearby anymore, but I still travel through the city often. Sometimes you think you just know things without needing to double check, and that happened to me on one occasion in this video: Macy’s HAD dual headquarters in New York and Cincinnati from 1994 to 2020. In 2020, Macy’s closed their Cincinnati headquarters and moved entirely to NY for the struggling retailer. The “Macys dot com Headquarters” in San Fran also closed down and moved to NY at the same time in 2020. So MY BAD on that!

    I worked in a hotel for 8 years in Cincinnati. I constantly was asked, "how busy can you be? This is a small town." When rooms were sold out. Or "is there anything to do here on my business trip?" "I'm like...my dude. I've lived here my entire life and find something new to do every week." I find it amusing how so many people see Cincinnati as a flyover town. Personally I like it that way. Less traffic.

    I was born and raised in the Greater Cincinnati area. I live just 7 miles south of Cincinnati. There's great unique things about Cincy and there a lot of dangerous things. But a lot of stuff in Cincinnati that is not in any other cities in the US. You'll love the fireworks display and festival they have on Sunday before Labor day right on the banks of the Ohio River with all kinds attractions on both sides of the river, it's a huge birthday party for the FM Rock station here called 102.7 WEBN and it's a huge tradition that's been happening every year since 1977. When I was a kid, we took tons of school trips to downtown Cincinnati. Many being on 5th St. where Fountain Square and Carew Tower is located.

    I lived in Cincinnati in the years 1970-1972, worked in the Red Cross Chapter on Sycamore, and traveled as a Field Rep. of the National ARC into many counties surrounding Cincy. I was an East Coast guy and slowly warmed to Cincy over my 2 years-I lived in a small apartment in Walnut Hills and preferred the area around my "home', such as Hyde Park, etc. I loved the parks, the Music Hall, the Zoo, and Opera in the Zoo, and the Delta Queen which was ported out of Cincy at the time. In my travels I crossed paths with Pete Rose and Johnny Bench, and Mrs. Fred Lazarus. My boss in Cincinnati later came to be tge head of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Mr. Ervin Oberschmidt.
    Frankly, I grew to love the city and it’s many attractions, it’s beautiful parks, and even the Cincinnati Reds. I have returned only once since those days, but am eager to return again.

    Very thorough and interesting. I spent one pretty good year of my life in Cincinnati. Way back in mid 81- to mid 82. I was only in my mid twenties. I lived in a well maintained and quaint working class neighborhood called Westwood. This was not in this video, but I know from research that I have done that Westwood is not doing as well now as it used to. However it was great to see that Mt Adams is still the king of the neighborhoods, as it was 40 years ago. I had some great times up there, and I will always think of it as one of the coolest city neighborhoods I have ever seen in my now 67 years plus on this earth. Still has the same breathtaking view of downtown and the river. Downtown looks great also. But what I miss most are the friendly natives. They welcomed me and my “odd” northern accent without reservation. I moved back to the “ upper” Midwest when I got a job offer I did not want to refuse. However I still recall the folks there with fondness and have managed to stay in touch with a couple of them occasionally through the years. Cheers to the Queen City.

I shrug at that homicide rate, which may seem odd - but I've lived in Baltimore for several decades. We have 250-300 homicides a year in a city with a relatively small population since so many people have fled. My son, dil and I are hoping to move to the northeast suburbs of Cincy in a couple of years. I grew up in Kennedy Hts, so that's my stompin' ground.

    Cincinnati isn't my birthright but I do call it home. There is so much more than downtown and I don't think you made that clear enough. Just across the river in Newport, KY is our aquarium. It has worked continuously to update and stay fresh. In the Avondale neighborhood we have the zoo. It is the second oldest zoo in the US and is known for its breeding programs. I heard Music Hall mentioned but I must have missed the Aronoff Center on Vine. It is Cincinnati's premier live theater venue and regularly hosts national touring productions. Although a little niche, downtown is also the southern terminus of the Ohio to Erie Trail that continues north through Columbus and on to Cleveland. These are just some of the big things that make Cincy the Queen City.
