The Queen City: Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio 5K.

- 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!

Thank you for showing our city!!!💕✨
Macy's also moved some of their HQ to St. Louis back in the 90s. Seems like they were cheating on everyone.😁
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.
A small town of 77,000 people Cincinnati is a decent sized town with 200,000 people
@@eddievenuto1862 metro populations are a much more valid measure of a city's size and influence and this city anchors a metro of 2 million ppl....that is not small.
@@eddievenuto1862 Cincinnati Has Over 300,000 People In The City Proper, The Metropolitan Area Has Over 2.1 Million People & The Combined Statistical Area Has Over 2.2. Million People. 💯 Cincinnati Is A Mid-Sized City. 💯
yay ,ok - good kno , iv learned a lot lately on this pretty Queen City ,Wow - okay heres where we r going retire😁🙌
Cincinnati is definitely bigger than what most think, a decent size downtown skyline for a supposed Small city.
I moved here a year and a half ago from NYC, and I absolutely love it. It was such an amazing find and a hidden gem. I attend Cincinnati Broadway shows, the symphony, I love exploring the different cafes and restaurants, the different activities and events, it’s just been so amazing. I recommend anymore that’s thinking about moving here or relocating, do it.
But their Broadway isn’t anything like NYC
@@rahimi4762 Pretty comparable coming from someone who has lived in both… lol. Cinci didn’t get all of the shows that the city gets but the production quality and aronoff there are top tier.
Ever been to Lexington? Any comparison (aside from size)?
@@garrettcooper8183 Amen brother 🙏🙌....I'm relocating this August on a spiritual journey. I look forward of starting fresh with a new mindset ....
@@rahimi4762 NYC is filled with crazies.
I was born in Cincinnati and now live in Seattle this is really cool!
0:16 This aged very badly...
Your comment is about to age badly when they get smoked by the chiefs in 8 hours.
Update: …. Uh…. Yeah…. My comment aged badly... and… yours… was… perfectly timed. 😂
(I root for the Steelers, but props to Cincinnati and the Bengals on making the Super Bowl… I guess.)
@@ChrisHarden lol .... the chiefs lost and so that is one dumb ass comment .... who -dey .. WHO DEY !!!
Update: Hey… at least y’all made it. Still the bungles though.
@@ChrisHarden True , I thought for sure we had it won , especially after you put the triple whammy on it for me , he he .... that holding call was bullcrap though . Gotta admit that .
This is probably the most well-researched Cincinnati video I’ve ever seen. well-done
Thanks! It helps that I know the city pretty well from living nearby it a while back.
This was amazing💕
Who knew squeelers fans could even read 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
This video completely changed my view of the city. I always pictured the city like a rust belt city more akin to Pittsburgh. I'd consider moving there
Pittsburg is not rusty at all: it is a financial center and the tech hub of the East Coast.
Don't move there. It is a rust bucket. I lived there most my life. It's a dumpster fire. Moved away in 2020. If you like small town dying feel. It's the perfect place.😂 I miss my friends, but I hated the city and overall mindset. Struggling economy and resources, but overall people and work culture is snobby
Me thinks you don't know much about Pittsburgh.
Only thing I'm shaking my head at is leaving out the Findlay Market/Brewery District of Over the Rhine, but including Mt. Adams. "Nothing worth visiting as a tourist north of Liberty" is certainly a bit misleading when it comes to Elm and Race.
The Cincinnati Zoo is great. Also, the Coney Island Amusement Park and swimming pool off Kellogg Ave. is a great place to take children . There is also a Thoroughbred horse racing track called River Downs on the Ohio River just east of Coney Island.
Rest In Heaven To Coney Island. 💯
As a lifelong Cincy resident, loved the video! Thanks for high-lighting my city!
I've always thought that Cinci was a beautiful city. Was even hooked on the tv show WKRP.
You have done a good job on covering Cincinnati. It's not my actual hometown but it holds a special place in my heart. You did get something wrong about the Reds, they are in the National League, they are in the NL Central. You did miss talking about Fountain Square and going by Findley Market. All in all though, great job in featuring
Cincinnati.
Thanks! About the Reds... That I knew. I just happened to screw up the script. They began playing in the American Association, but then in 1890 they joined the National League. Had it backwards.
Great Job! I came to Cincinnati from Germany in 1953 (age 5) and your tour brought back some memories.
And look just how clean the city is......Cincy is one big rehab event.....man I could just go on all day.....born and raised here.....
yes, they have city workers who walk the downtown streets all the time to pick up trash and keep it clean - downtown, that is, not in Over-the-Rhine or Mt. Adams.
This would've been a different video 15 years ago lol
Bengals won a wildcard game after 30 years. Not the bungles anymore. Thanks for the video
They need more than just one playoff win in 3 decades to shed that title.
What about glass joe
Agreed
Nah they the bungholes
the city is very pretty, nice view, reminds me of Chicago in many ways
Lived in Cincy my whole life. Thanks for this :)
I have to say been born and raised im Cincinnati we do have some beautiful landmarks
Boy do I miss my hometown of Cincinnati. I'm stuck in Des Moines Iowa now so everybody should know what I mean...
So much info. Love this video, from Chicago here, but have always wanted to visit Cincinnati.
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.
So ur from Kentucky
This is a really lovely city. It's got big city accoutrements, but maintains a small city vibe (actually reminds me a bit of New Brunswick in NJ.) I never would've known this, but for your video. Definitely going to make a stop in Cincy when I'm out that way - thanks for the education!
Thanks for the video! I live on the Northern Kentucky side of the river and recently moved 15 minutes south from Fort Thomas, KY (which was about 7 minutes away from downtown Cincy) so I learned a lot more about the city than I previously had.
Chris, Thanks for doing a beautiful and informative video. You showed downtown at its best. Filming in the Spring when all the flowering trees were in bloom and on such a beautiful day only enhanced your tour. If people are open to coming they will discover so many treasures here that you don't see in driving by. I love living in Cincinnati and I so appreciate your presentation.
Another excellent video. These are always so very well researched. I've always enjoyed Cincy. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed the trip!
Thanks for the kind words!
This editing is ridiculous. I mean that in a good way. Well done. Now I want some skyline.
That pic of dusk going down on the Queen City is just amazingly beautiful
Union Terminal looks really amazing! Reminds me of the Hall of Justice from the 1970s Super Friends cartoon!
They actually based the hall of justice on Union Terminal.
Whenever I've gone home to Cincinnati for a visit, a trip to the Museum Center at Union Terminal is a must. I've also traveled by train many times in my 70 years of life, and have taken many trains in and out of there! My other two "musts" when I visit my hometown are 1) Skyline Chili and 2) United Dairy Farmers for a malted milkshake. (They really don't understand malts here in Baltimore!)
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.
You mentioned that the city has declined in recent decades but you failed to mention that since 2011 the city has started to grow again and the downtown area is being revitalized. It’s truly an interesting case because a lot of the cities in the rust belt have yet to make that turnaround.
Well Cleveland/Sandusky area is starting to boom. The problem is sustainability. In many ways Midwestern cities are the best because of their old mysteries. The majestic bridges of Cleveland are a good example. This vid on Cincinnati was fabulous. It revealed a gem of a city. This is the most underrated site on CZcams.
You are right ! The Natti is my hometown but I moved to Texas in 96 in my 20s because it declined really bad and opportunities were not great . Right around 2010 I noticed the changes after visiting family over the years and I must say if I had to move back now I won't feel too bad doing it now since the upgrades especially downtown . It was way overdue and glad they brung downtown back to life
Cincinnati has changed A LOT it really used to be nothing to go hangout downtown for. I remember not too long ago , I thought I was going to take pictures in Washington Park, I am a grown woman, but word got back to my daddy and he came to see me face to face to say "No tf you are not" 😂 . Washington Park is beautiful now though...so many changes have taken place
I left Cincinnasti in 2020...because it is dying😂 pot holes always growing though, taxes too are a big part of the areas of growth too. 😂
Northern Kentucky/Cincy area is my hometown. Love it & proud to call it home. WHO-DEY!!!!
Here we go…
Can't Never Include Northern Kentucky With CINCINNATI Never ! We don't want to Be Associated With Y'all it's Ohio The End!
@@darrylking2500 Federally it is apart of Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area
And the Commonwealth of Kentucky owns the Ohio River. N Ky has been growing by leaps and bounds, including its international airport in Hebron, Ky-CVG. Much friendlier folks than “Cincinnatians” too. “Buckeyes” are, well, like you. Go figure. Sad.
@@jillcampbell8019 ??
Damn, I was in my early 20's when the Great American Tower was being built way back in 2011. Lol! 😂
Informative, funny, and honest. I love this video.
The things I miss the most about cincinnati is Clifton at night when you hear the trains in the train yard screeching in the distance, Ault Park and alms Park. But I miss the city and just the area in general
I work in Tech and Ohio is emerging as a tech hub in the Columbus area. The west coast with its high cost of living is becoming a problem for tech companies. It's possible the mid-west may enjoy a rebirth. I have explored Ohio extensively. The state has its problems with poverty, crime and addiction but the actual state is beautiful. With 570 private airstrips, it's a pilot's dream for accumulating hours and seeing the countryside.
My husband has his pilots license and doing touch and goes all day got him there faster :)
Another noteworthy fact about our Cincinnati Union Terminal, the city rallied together and passed a quarter of a percent tax increase to cover the structural restoration / renovations. An amazing 61.40% voted yes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That area of Cincinnati looks great .
meanwhile at the hall of justice!
been up and down US75 never got to stop to actually see it ... thank you
You bet.
Fantastic video of Cincinnati. 👍🏼 Extremely interesting and as close to thorough as I’ve ever seen to date. Do wish Cincinnati Reds info didn’t fade out-maybe insert there as well as other places in the vid where necessary? Thanks so much for your post!!! 🤍
Thanks for the tour down memory lane. I locksmithed for seven years in Cincinnati and surrounding areas.
Lived my youth..50's and early 60's in Cincy. Haven't been there since '66......we lived OTR ..Main and 14th. Attended Rothenberg, Washington Park and Cutter Jr. High . Left in '63. I have good friends and relatives that still live there. A lot of good memories.😊
Very in depth video of our Queen City. Well done.
Thank you!
This is a good city for study. I am here for it, and I love this city.
Many thanks for a review of my favorite city, though I live elsewhere.
Thanks for the tour of Cincinnati. 😬
53:28 a beautiful view of the city.
What a video! What a site! How about Cleveland which is going through a renaissance right now and Sandusky? You could start a “Cities on the Great Lakes.” Keep up the good work. Oh, you gave us Ann Arbor and Urbana, how about Columbus and Iowa City on your college town tours?
The north wing of Music Hall was used as a small sports arena in the days before the now-demolished Cincinnati Gardens was built, and was the winter home of pro wrestling while they spent the warmer months outdoors at the also long-demolished microscopic Parkway Arena.....
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.
Do ever miss some good ole La Rosa's or steak hoagies ? I do and feed myself to both of them when I come back to visit from Texas
West wood is a good place to get robbed or shot.
@@greasemantexas9159 where do you live in Texas now? I'm looking to move from south Texas to cincinnati, any recommendations on anything?
@@llamasindabahamas I lived in Houston from 96' to2018 . I live north of Austin now . If you move to Cincinnati I wouldn't recommend anything south side such as Cummingsville, Westwood, or Avondale. Fairfield , and Colerain Township is good, they are suburbs . Are you looking for a more rural setting or city ? A cool casino is downtown along with the Reds and Bengals stadium
@@llamasindabahamas Springdale , Reading, Fairfield, West Chester, and Mason are very good areas to live in.
Be sure to visit the Banks downtown!
Try Greaters Ice cream, skyline or Gold star cheese coneys good luck!
Cincinnati is HOME to me! Worked downtown for 25 years. It has a little piece of my ❤. I live in Ky today about 10 miles from downtown. When I go to University of Cincinnati Hospital is where alot of shootings take place. Seems to be young people who are just angry!!! Very sad for decent adults and children who live there 😢 I'm praying for peace everyday.
Cincinnati For Life. 💯
Great video. A little update: the official 2020 decade population count 309,317, a 4.2% growth. First since 1950.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati. My hometown is beautiful! This is the best video I've seen showing the pros (and yes, some cons,) of Cincinnati. 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.
@31.27 I was hoping you would mention Saint Peter in Chains Roman Catholic cathedral on the right, and the historic landmark Isaac M. Wise Jewish temple on the left. Also, I'd like to call attention to the _intense rivalry_ between those who favor Skyline Chili and those who opt for Gold Star, instead. lol
If you come to Cincinnati and get hungry go to Findlay market they have it all 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I’ll keep that in mind!
Of note, Mehring Way was named after Lt. Art Mehring Cincinnati's first copter cop giving traffic reports during rush hour via WLW Radio. One of the first such traffic reporters in the nation.
Lt. Art Mehring was so famous! I went to elementary school with his daughter, Gretchen. :-) I'm an older lady, and I remember so well "famous" Cincinnatians such as Ruth Lyons, Peter Grant, Bob Braun, Marian Spellman, Bonnie Lou, and of course Kenny Price, who moved on from our regional The Midwestern Hayride to nationally syndicated HeeHaw!
Chris, I've always wondered about Cincinnati, I didn't know anything about it. I love the way you research these cities so much, makes perfectly believable. By the way, where do you live?
Thanks, and I’m in Michigan.
Perfect!!!!!!
Perfect!!!!!!
The music change is hilarious. I lived in OTR before it became hipster and expensive, and all of OTR was as rough as what the narrator considers rough. It took about 3 tries to gentrify OTR and get people like me kicked out. Great video, but also hilarious.
Beautiful city
I lived there, north of Cincy for quite a few years, can't wait to move back, I had some great times, lots to do, see, explore. Friendly people, some off areas, but all cities are like that. And there's plenty of opportunities as well.
Had family in a nearby suburb and we'd drive through Cincinnati to get there. Too young to remember, but good feelings from that time.
As a kid I got to see the original fountain downtown.
It had multiple statues including a replica of the famous “Pis” in Brussels Belgium.
I hope those statues are in a warehouse somewhere.
awesome!
greetings from germany 😉👋
When I visited Cincinnati for the 1st time, I quickly loved the I-275 freeway, especially on the north side
Beautiful city. My husband and I are making plans to move to Cincinnati in the near future.💕💕
Awesome. Best of luck to ya.
How can you go through "all" of downtown and not show the public library?
...or churches and synagogues? And did I miss seeing Fountain Square?
@@MCOTIB Yes, he missed some - but he did great in so many ways. I hope he'll come back and cover those iconic spots! I mentioned St. Peter in Chains and the Isaac M. Wise Temple in an earlier comment.
The P&G Headquarters is also known as the Dolly Parton buildings.50:18
😂🤣😅
..and such a beautiful view :-)
Haha! I'm a native Cincinnatian and I didn't know that.
The Dolly Parton Towers.
Hello! Your videos are great. At 46:37-38, you say that Jerry Springer was born in Cincinnati and was mayor of said city. He was the mayor of Cincinnati in the late 1970s, for sure, but (believe it or not), he was born in London, England, in 1944, to Holocaust survivors. Anyways, thanks for the travel videos with historical tidbits!
Great documentary video.. I will visit Us next year. can you make a video about Boston?🤔🤔
i would love a Price Hill video covering the history etc.
slapping the bengals around and we are going to the super bowl this year .... dude , you blew that call my man ... lol
… Yup.
@@ChrisHarden hahaha .. I was hoping that you would predict the rams winning the super bowl so as to put the reverse jinx on again ...Pretty sure the bengals will win whenever you say they won't , worth a try ... lol ..
@@davidfriend1919 haha. I actually do think the Rams will win. I thought the Bengals would lose every playoff game so far though, but hope I’m right this time! ;)
@@ChrisHarden Thx for putting the double whammy on it , worth a try ... good luck to you , i'll try to remember to come back and hopefully rub it in when they win ... (:
28:19 the music hall looks like a cathedral.
I've been to symponies and ballets there. Also, my very first "rock and roll" concert was seeing The Four Seasons there in the early 1960s when I was about 10 years old. It is a magnificent place, inside and out.
29:02 hahahaha that was hilarious that was a good beat tho.

It was way overdue and glad they brung downtown back to life . The only thing I'd have to get adjusted to again is the heavy snowfall. But a good steak hoagie with mushrooms , onions , pickles and cheese will balance that out !
What city in Texas do you live in? I'm thinking about moving from south Texas to the Natti
Tired of this damn heat down here lol
@@llamasindabahamas Hey man you'll be thankful for this heat when that winter comes in up there. That's why I moved when I was 25 . Got tired of all that damn snow and single digits lol. I answered your question earlier. Check it out
I wish these two music tracks would play irl depending on if I was in a bad part of town or not.
I’ve read that several experts on the subject predict that over a period of a few decades that the Cincy metropolitan area will merge with the Dayton metropolitan area to form one of the few mega cities (ie: metropolitan areas) in North America.
The Cincy and Dayton metro areas combined population is 3 million. It would still have quite a ways to go.
Detroit metro area has over 4 million.
Philadelphia metro area has over 6 million.
Dallas Fort Worth metro area has over 7 million.
Chicago metro has 9 million.
LA is in a league of it's own at 12 million.
New York is in a league of it's own at nearly 20 million.
Speaking of Ohio I live in Canton Ohio. Back in 2001 my grandfather worked for a place where he had to deliver titles to different places for cars. Him and I got up early 5:00 in the morning to get to Cincinnati cuz that's three and a half hours from where we were. We stayed there for a few hours. And then we left but the trip wasn't all day trip one day trip and it was fun.
Very well done like how you show street name lower right thanks
what website do you use to get that stats on poverty rates for different towns?
The one sculpture at the entrance looks like someone threw some steel girders out of an upstairs window. Sorta like the “Symbol “ in Rockford Illinois.
I agree. I think the people who designed the "Great American" tower just wanted a taller building than the Carew Tower.
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.
Ok.
The only thing I knew about Cincinnati is that Kroger is headquartered there
I know about Cincinnati for Immaculate Conception Church in Norwood Ohio.
I grew up in the suburbs of cincinnati and over the rhine has basically been fully gentrified at this point and crime has moved over the viaduct and into the west end, mostly. When I was growing up and well into my teenage years it became a crime hotspot, but most of the houses down there have been revitalized and resold as very expensive redevelopments. Prices are through the roof.
Extremely nice alluring cities to live up in the north. I am 1st time overseer of northern cities usa.
Northern cities like??? If too far north, no thanks. Too cold and depressing during the winters for me.
I wish someone had the financial ability to build a visitor hotel with great marketing skills to provide great service and cuisine and transportation of tours of our zoo', parks, Architecture like Union Terminal, Music Hall and the Banks. And various tours available of new breweries while describing the history of so many old breweries and the history of naming us the Queen City.
Also Coordinated River Boat Cruises, Rides to Casino's and Horse Races, Train Rides to the Golden Lamb in Lebanon.
Also extended tours of Wright Patterson AFB and the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton.
I know you can't get all of it but you skipped a few things even though you drove right past most of them. Tyler Davidson Fountain is the very heart of the city. Every summer weekend, something happens in this area. The Cincinnati Zoo, home of the very last passenger pigeon on earth. The cathedral of St Peter in Chains, the seat of the diocese. Rockwood Pottery formerly a ceramics manufacturer, now a restaurant. Frish's Big Boy, the last vestige of Bob's Big Boy. Also the contemporary museum of art, famous for its ever changing installations.
Cincinnati is still such a rich architecture city but I was always told growing up that the 60's and 70's were hard on the really old stuff.
The Metal you showed hangin off the Brent Spence bridge was for the panting of the bridge has nothing to do with with pieces falling off the bridge! The bridge is structurally sound always has been the problem is congestion!
I walked under that bridge a couple years ago on my way from UPS to downtown. (We work at UPS and use their parking lot sometimes for events) Let me tell you... it's not sound lol.
OTR has completely changed, I'm surprised you didn't show the area in detail 🤔
How would you rank this city to the other cities in the USA?
I only wish there were as many Now Hiring signs in 2008 when I needed a job.
Super informative thank you for this! Cleveland and Cincinnati are larger in downtown size for sure. They feel and look more like a big city. But Columbus is definitely on the up and up. I give it like 8-10 yrs and Columbus may start looking more major.
I worked accross the street of the Millennium hotel back in 2002-2003, and it was there. So it opened prior to 2004. I think it changed names a couple times. I think it's at least 25 years old? It wasn't new when I worked downtown.
Back in the 70’s, it was Stouffers Inn.
Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City was named after Eweing Marion Kauffman who owned the Royals.
Construction on the subway began in 1916 but when the US entered WWI the Federal Government halted the issuance of municipal bonds of which was how the subway construction was being financed. When bonds could be issued after the end of WWI the reconstruction of Europe caused great inflation of building materials. This inflation drove up costs of the subway turning sentiment against approving more money for the project.
Does it snow a lot (annually) in Cincinnati?
@@ChrisHarden 14.9 is the annual average snowfall for Cincinnati. 28 inches is the annual average for THE UNITED STATES.
It would compare to Richmond, VA or Pittsburg. This year had two really bad snow storms and the rest of the Winter was overcast and in the 40s.
I like the sports teams.
Rest In Heaven To Coney Island. 🏝
Ohio a good laid back state we have the 7th best economy and the 5th cheapest state to live in its pretty quiet at night
That’s a positive way to look at it.
just dropping a comment to "fight that algorithm
I’m from losangeles I went to Cincinnati for one night and it was hot and humid asf in downtown the scenery from the freeway is very nice tho
