- Nicknamed the Queen City, Cincinnati is one of the gems of the Midwest. I was in Cincinnati about a month ago and was impressed by the city. In this series I briefly cover a city's history, population, skyline was well as a few things that make the city unique. Thanks for watching: Cincinnati Overview | An informative introduction to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are the two most underrated cities in the country
Really I live in the Cincinnati metropolitan area I don’t see much to do
@@thelinktothegame6081you aren’t looking hard enough then
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh aren't the shit holes that their state allies Philadelphia and Cleveland are.
@@thelinktothegame6081 yeah, that's your fault. I thought the same of Cincinnati back in 2007, but then I moved away for a few years and traveled to most of the other cities in the country. Cincinnati is really a gem. It has gorgeous historical architecture, natural resources in the river and hills, and dense and diverse neighborhoods. The banks have been a major win for the city creating a legitimate destination entertainment district and the density of high quality restaurants in OtR is incredibly strong. Smale park may be the best riverfront park in the entire country.
I understand the Cincinnati way is to crap on the city--i used to do it myself--but having gone away and having seen other cities, Cincinnati is really a very good place to live.
Both cities share so much history and the views are spectacular
Cincinnati is incredible! I grew up in western NY, visited Cincinnati for the first time in 2021, and had an absolute blast. The architecture downtown, with many art deco era skyscrapers, is phenomenal. People are friendly. Rivers/hills in the surroundings are beautiful. Amazing culture/museums/sports/things to do.
I’m from WNY too. Driving home through Cincinnati at night from down south, the skyline is AMAZING coming down the big hill from Kentucky! The way it’s just laid out before you.
😂 you’re completely insane. Cincinnati is a dump. It’s ugly. It’s boring. It’s old and unrestored. A bleak history with an even bleaker future ahead. And I have no clue what your idea of culture is but I imagine it’s somewhere along the lines of ordering “The Tour of Italy” at The Olive Garden. Can’t say much about the people and the rolling hills are okay but the one thing the city has going for it are incredible breweries - Urban Artifact, Fibonacci, Brink - all were a blast to go to. Nice ball park too. That’s it. If you want a true gem of a city very close by check out Louisville. Excellent food, beautiful culture that clashes together Confederate Southern history with a Midwest vibe. Tons of parks sprawled throughout the city too. Very underrated. Cincinnati is a dump though. I’m sorry but anyone who sees it as a cool city must have been on acid their entire time there.
@@MrCBG Yup, from NKY here & we call that "the cut in the hill" To this day, (and I have done it Thousands of times) when I catch Cincinnati from that view it always reminds me of when Dorothy, Toto and the like first caught a glimpse of OZ
@@MrCBGjust imagine there are probably thousands of locals who get to see that view 5 nights a week on their commute to or from their job.
It does kind of carry some San Fran, minus the ocean.
I've always regretted not stopping in Cincinnati when I drove through. It looked very cool.
Not sure when you drove through last, but the city has improved exponentially in the last 15 years.
@@balboa0621no it hasn't
You did the right thing. Downtown (OTR & Price Hill) are dangerous hotbeds of crime and drugs.
Thank you for covering Cincinnati! I think Cincinnati is one of the most underrated cities in the United States, though it has a lot of stuff it needs to approve on, it's skyline will always have a special place in my heart.
When driving back home anytime I've been south I always look forward to the first view of the skyline from the Kentucky side coming around the hill.
@WebVRecords I don't live in Cincinnati, but I live decently close
@@aaroncutting I can't really get that same feeling because I normally come from north of Cincinnati, but I do have a couple of photos on my phone of me across the river in Covington.
Yes I think so too🤗🧡
The Carew tower is also a really awesome landmark worth visiting. The hotel is managed by Hilton but the entire art deco building and enclosed “arcade” is stunning
Being a Nashville native I drove 4 hrs to Cincinnati and I’d say it’s downtown and River front is far better than ours. I really enjoyed it so much I doubled back the following weekend 😂😂
Nashville looks really awesome too
I’m from Cincinnati and have traveled all over the globe for work and I still love Cincinnati It’s one of the coolest places. The different neighborhoods are amazing. The parks in the hills that overlook the city and the river are stunning and picturesque. You can sit up in the parks and watch barges go up and down the river all day.
As a native born and raised Cincinnatian, this is a great video and spot on! Great work!
A couple interesting things to note is the official metro area of CIN includes two other states, KY and IN.
The Loveland Castle is in Symmes Township, about 25 minutes northeast of CIN, but still in the metro.
Thank you!!
As someone born in raised in the the Newport area I can safely say Cincinnati is a shit hole
@@CityGeek To me as a non-native speaker and ESL learner ,your presentation is loud and clear as well as very informative. We thank you!
Is Over-the-rhine as beautiful as it look in the pictures??
@@diodelvino3048 Even more beautiful, IMO. There’s some kind of architecture there which is not found many other places to that large of an extent. I think it’s like Italian Renaissance or something like that?
Oh wow! That train station is amazing! This city has got to be one of my top American cities that I haven't visited yet.
The dome has a unique acoustical trait that you must experience to appreciate.
Fun Fact: The Super Friend’s Hall of Justice was based on Cincinnati’s Union Terminal.
@@Deecember16 Yes They Have, They Used The Design Of The Union Terminal In 1973. 💯
@@Deecember16whoa. thanks for that info
Cincinnati was dubbed the Queen of the West by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1854. He wrote a poem called Catawba Wine the last stanza of which is:
And this Song of the Vine,
This greeting of mine,
The winds and the birds shall deliver
To the Queen of the West,
In her garlands dressed,
On the banks of the Beautiful River.
It was written as a sort of thank you note to Nicholas Longworth who had sent Longfellow a case of his wine made from Catawba grapes which he grew in a vineyard on Cincinnati's Mt. Adams in what is now Eden Park.
You are doing a great job sir, I really really appreciate your efforts.
Thank you!! I really appreciate that 😊
i lived the first half of my childhood in chicago, during that time i have been to about every major city in middle america. the ohio cities are a bit of a let down except for cincy. cincinnati stands out as being by far the coolest place you can go in ohio
Thank you for the great overview of my hometown! Truly an underrated American city gem in my opinion. Also my mouth was watering with your up close images of skyline chili 😂🤤 I love the views of the city when you are driving on I75 heading north from Kentucky. The Cincinnati and Covington skylines look like one big combined skyline from a certain distance.
You bet! And I’m glad you liked the Cincinnati chili pictures 😂
Cincinatti chili is amazing. I make it myself...and I've never been there.
I grew up in Cincinnati. But I’m currently living on a 55’ sailboat which my wife and I sail everywhere. We keep more than a few cans of Skyline Chili onboard. It’s a great way to introduce new friends to our hometown.
Walk The Moon had always been known for their infectious energy and vibrant stage presence, but their latest project took things in a completely different direction. The band, consisting of Nicholas Petricca, Sam Cole, Nick Lerangis, Chris Robinson, Eli Maiman, Adam Reifnyder, Kevin Ray, Ricky Human, Adrian Galvin, and Sean Waugaman, decided to pay tribute to some of the most iconic movie soundtracks of all time by recording a series of tracks for a special album called "Movie to Song."
The album featured covers of songs from classic films such as "To Be A Royal Princess" (1979), "Cinderella" (1959), "Tangled" (2010), "Mary Poppins" (1964), "A Fairy Tale After All" (2022), "The Greatest Showman" (2017), "State Fair" (1945), and "Evita" (1996). Each track was given the Walk The Moon treatment, with their signature upbeat sound and catchy melodies shining through.
As they worked on the album, the band members found themselves inspired by the timeless magic of these beloved films. Nicholas Petricca poured his heart and soul into his vocals, Sam Cole and Nick Lerangis laid down some killer guitar riffs, while Chris Robinson brought his unique flair to the drums. Eli Maiman and Adam Reifnyder's infectious energy added an extra layer of depth to the tracks, while Kevin Ray's bass lines held everything together.
Ricky Human's keys and Adrian Galvin's violin added a touch of whimsy and emotion to the songs, while Sean Waugaman's drumming brought a powerful rhythm that drove each track forward. Together, Walk The Moon created a truly magical listening experience that transported listeners to a world of wonder and nostalgia.
The album was met with critical acclaim, with fans praising the band's creativity and musicianship. Walk The Moon had once again proven that they were not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of their sound. As they moved forward, the band knew that they would continue to explore new musical territories and delight audiences around the world with their unique blend of talent and innovation.
Walk The Moon, consisting of Nicholas Petricca, Sam Cole, Nick Lerangis, Chris Robinson, Eli Maiman, Adam Reifnyder, Kevin Ray, Ricky Human, Adrian Galvin, and Sean Waugaman, recently delved into the world of movie-to-song covers in their latest project Recorded at the Movie to Song. The band took on tracks from popular movies such as Beauty and The Beast (1991), Enchanted (2007), La Traviata (1982), Rusalka (1977), The Magical Flute (2006), Carmen (2003), Hunter's Bride (2010), The Phantom of the Opera (2004), and West Side Story (1961).
With their unique twist and style, Walk The Moon brought new life to these beloved movie songs. From the haunting melodies of "The Phantom of the Opera" to the energetic beats of "West Side Story," the band's creativity shone through in each track. Nicholas Petricca's vocals soared in the emotional "Beauty and The Beast," while Sam Cole and Chris Robinson's harmonies added depth to "Enchanted."
Throughout the album, Nick Lerangis' guitar skills, Eli Maiman's dynamic drumming, and Adam Reifnyder's keyboard expertise created a rich tapestry of sound. Kevin Ray and Ricky Human's bass and guitar riffs added a rock edge to "Carmen," while Adrian Galvin and Sean Waugaman's violin and percussion brought a cinematic quality to "La Traviata."
Recorded at the Movie to Song showcased Walk The Moon's versatility and talent as they paid tribute to some of the most iconic movie songs of all time. The band's passion for music shone through in each track, leaving listeners in admiration of their standard of creativity.
I was at the sign museum a couple years ago and it was hands down my favorite museum I’ve been to
If I was young and starting out, Cincinnati would be on my short list of places to buy a home and settle down.
It’s the largest metro area and economy in Ohio, which along with its high level of employment opportunities (most F500 companies in Ohio) and affordable housing it’s a great place to start a family. Also its sports & nightlife and scenic views and architecture never fails to impress.
Agreed. I’ve always said CIN punches way above its weight in terms of economy per capita.
@@justhereforthefoliage We love punching above our weight, and we're pretty heavy
@@OhioMan1854 Haha hey now! Speak for yourself, sir! I think we’re a pretty fit town for the most part haha!
@@justhereforthefoliage ahaha i like the food too much 😂
@@OhioMan1854 Fair enough!
Also the Unions Station is what was used as inspiration for the Justice League HQ
That’s cool! I didn’t realize that!
Thank you for making this video! I love Cincinnati and you did a great job showing why
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video also Cincinnati looks like a really really beautiful city I would definitely want to go there one day
Thank you!!
Visited Cincy for the first time last year and fell in love with it! Would love to return some day and discover more. ❤
thank you city geek. I've been on a bit of a binge of your city videos. they are all excellent. the length of your videos is perfect. just long enough for a lot of great info. not too long so that I actually click on it without reservation. your visuals are fantastic. your voice is great. (this really matters with these type of videos.) and you go to a lot of interesting places with the content in your videos. thanks for posting!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate the kind comment. And I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the length of the videos.
I’ve stayed at the Hilton Netherlands Plaza Hotel. If walls could talk. You are sent back to the past where it was the talk of the town. Having Prime Minster Winston Churchill as a guest who loved the hotel. It’s a gem in the Queen city’s tiara.
Some of the views from the vistas overlooking the Ohio river are great..I think Mt.Echo is one..yes it truly is a hidden gem of a city..
In addition to the Reds and Bengals, Cincinnati is also home to the MLS's FC Cincinnati soccer, Big 12's Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball, Big East's Xavier Musketeers men's basketball, ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones Hockey and was previously home to the NBA's Cincinnati Royals from 1957-1972.
Also Big 12 UC Bearcats football and UC women's basketball, and Big East Xavier women's basketball. The Cincinnati Royals franchise still exist as the Sacramento Kings. The Regal name lives on...
If they had an NBA team still it would be the perfect city. Obviously that’s just me though.
Hooray! : )
Thank you @City Geek. A well made episode.
The only thing that could make the video even better would be to mention GE Aviation, the Newport Aquarium, the Cincinnati Zoo, and other parks across the metro, eg Devou and Great Parks.
PS: Justice League HQ is based off Union Terminal. And the Cincinnati Zoo is America's 2nd oldest.
Thank you!! And thanks for pointing those other things out!
I thought it looked familiar I remember those old Superfriends episodes 😅😅
@@CityGeek
You're welcome. : )
I've been in all 50 states & LOVE the detail you give on cities across the nation. As a proud Ohioan, I would love to see the details/skyline of Cleveland, Dayton, & Toledo. Obviously, Cleveland has multiple tall buildings but Dayton & Toledo both have skylines of 30+ stories.
I’m glad you enjoy them! I’ll eventually get to those other Ohio cities 😊
I wish I could say ive been to all 50 states
Visited for a week last autumn with no opinion as to what I might find and consider it one of the most attractive cities Ive seen in the U.S. Great history, beautiful historic neighbourhoods and a surprising arts and museum scene. I would visit again.
I really enjoyed your highlights of Cincinnati. I had done some research already on the downtown since we were going to visit (but Covid nixed the trip). I love Art Deco as well and that train station was already on my radar. So beautiful! The Underground Railroad Museum was also on our list along with the music hall and historic districts. I believe they also have an observation deck in one of the skyscrapers and that is always a “must do” for my wife and I. I did not know the history of the bridge across to Kentucky, so that was cool. And the Sign Museum was also a nice surprise. We would see that as well. Hard to say if Cincinnati has more to do than Cleveland or Columbus. I’ll leave that up to the local Ohioans to decide. Keep up the fine videos. I’m behind on commenting, so Buffalo is next up. You are closing in on 50 cities completed. Can you believe it! Bravo! ❤🥇⭐️😎🏆🥳🏙
As always, I appreciate your comments! Hopefully you'll be able to make a trip to Cincinnati happen! And yes I almost have 50 city overview videos posted - I'm hoping to be able to post another one in the next couple of weeks!
Wonderful video, proud of my city and its people
Thank you!!
When you were here, did you get the chance to approach the city from the South through "the cut in the hill" on I75? The reveal of the city is phenomenal, and I can't imagine any other city that reveals itself like it does when you head North on I-75...
Thank you for the video, I’m gonna move soon there so I want it to discover some areas ❤
FINALLY my Cincy!
I was hoping you’d see it! I know you’ve been asking for awhile 😊
@@CityGeek I thought you would like our skyline even more
Ayyy!! I remember posting a comment about doing this one and you did!! Cheers mate!
I don’t know if you made this because of my request like a year ago, but thank you for making a video on Cincinnati.
You’re welcome!
I've been to Cincinnati a couple times...mostly in the Downtown area and once to Bogart's to see a show. I remember they had a Duck on the side of the building so I think it was a mascot for some minor league team. Smaller city but kinda cool with the river running through the hills. The Covington, KY side had a little wharf area and shops. I lived near Columbus and was more familiar with Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit and Indy than Cinci. Good Stuff.
Hope you're able to visit Cincy to update the great changes and explorations of the city ❤
It's time for an update to visit Cincy
Hey!! I was born and raised in a small town near Cincinnati and I visit it all the time!! This was such a good video and I legit thought nobody knew about Cincinnati since I never hear anyone talk about it 😂😂😂
Great video!! I’m dying to visit just for that market 😍🤩
Thank you!!
So interesting!
Wow this is a nice city...
Born an raised here in Cincinnati and I love it
I'm new to your channel but I love it, keep up the good work.
Thank you!
A great introduction to Cincinnati . Will be visiting the city in September.
Thanks!
Glad you were impressed with our city too btw. What do you end up getting into when you visit these places? Lots to do in this town im sure you had a blast lol
I lived in Cincinnati from 1985-1992. I haven’t been back in over 20 years, but i think about those cool old buildings all the time. The architecture has an effect on me. I was an extra in a film shot there and the city was a stand in for Harlem. I really liked that town.
I LOVE CINCINNATI
I am gonna move here soon when I graduate in San Francisco
As a UC alumni, I very much appreciated the “Eggs-avier” pronunciation
There is an indoor neon sign museum in Glendale, CA. It's not very big, but it was interesting. This one in Cincinnati looks like it would be worth a visit.
It's really worth seeing. It's cool
absolutely love this place. making it a goal to move my family to the area one day.
One thing about Findlay Market not mentioned: It has the flags of many nations on signs attached to the streetlights, or at least that was the case when I visited in 2018. One other thing about Over The Rhine: while it's better than it has been in the past, it's still not quite the safest area in Cincinnati.
This videos was good. I like your metric on population being the metro area although it’s the CSA in Ohio I still like that metric in general.
Thank you! And thanks for pointing out that it’d CSA in Ohio
Cincinnati For Life. 💯
If you go to Devou park in NKY you can see the city from the look out. It's the very best view imo.
if you love art deco u gotta do buffalo ny!! buffalo city hall 400 ft art deco masterpiece! along with rand building which was the model for the empire state building! population growing great food good sports, niagara falls etc!!
One terrific part of Cincinnati is the Over the Rhine neighborhood, which you mentioned. But it has undergone a spectacular revival in the last 20 years from a rather rundown and sometimes dangerous area to the home of many interesting, fun restaurants, most unique to Cincinnati. Most visitors would really enjoy walking around and dining in OTR, as we locals call it.
You can still get some pretty good H on vine street
OTR is a terrific part of Cincinnati? Yeah, sure, if you like getting mugged and/or hassled by pan-handlers.
Nice quick overview. But-please Xavier us NOT pronounced: X-abuse. The X is a Z=Zavier!!
Lived here for about 6 years now, very underrated city for sure. Downtown is great, Covington and Kentucky are just across the river, and there's quite a bit to do north as well. Lots of sporting events, and a bunch of other fun things to do as well. If you do choose to live or visit Cincinnati just be careful as crime is definitely an issue in certain parts of the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Been jumped, robbed, and had my car broken into multiple times. Lots of shootings are happening as well. So as great of a city it is, just be careful.
Which areas are the worst and should be avoided, in your opinion?
You left out Newport KY, which is much better.
@@newtfigton8795Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, West End, Avondale and Roselawn, The Banks past midnight.
I love Cincinnati.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Cincinnati: the city Louisville wishes it could be.
Worst foods associated with a city!? Dem's fightin' words! 😉
But seriously, as a Cincy local (sort of, I'm ~80 miles east in Portsmouth), I still love Cincy-style chili. I know foodies and Europeans make fun of it, but holy moly, it really hits the spot for me sometimes. Love the video. Hope you enjoyed your time in the Queen City.
Lol - I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment!
If you like art deco, Dallas has the largest concentration of them at its fair grounds where the cotton bowl is played. I LOVE CHILI SPAGHETTI so that looks AMAZING 😻
Good job ! I would have suggested a few more truly outstanding features -the world class zoo, scenic overlook parks - like Eden Park, Scenic overlook neighborhoods like Mt. Adams.
I used to live right next to the loveland castle!
Good skyline, but I agree it’s not in the top 10. I think some rank is so high because of the awesome topography along the Ohio River, and the incredible entrance into Cincinnati from Kentucky on Interstates 71/75 (and even 471 to a lesser degree). Definitely a top 10 ENTRANCE into an American city!
Also, it’s worth noting that the second tallest building in the city was built in 1931, and the third tallest (my personal favorite) was built in 1913! At the time, it was the tallest building in the world outside of NYC and Philadelphia.
"Top 10 ENTRANCE into an American city" is such a great way to categorize the skyline view! It's almost breathtaking when you first see the Cincy/Covington skylines and surrounding hills driving on I75N from KY especially for someone's first time visit to the city.
I used to be a chauffeur and one of my favorite joys was driving visitors, especially first timers, into downtown at night from the airport. A ton of gasps, even from grizzled experiences travelers in town for business. ❤
It looks a nice place. From New England here. Great video.
Thank you very much!
@@CityGeek your welcome.
I feel this video covers downtown well, but not really the Cincinnati metro which is what really defines Cincinnati.
Northern Kentucky is barely noted despite Covington having its own Skyline, CVG airport being Cincinnati airport (and Amazon air's headquarters), and having the metro second largest university (NKU).
Then there are other aspects in the grander metro like Kings Island.
If you could please please please do Boston eventually I would be stoked!
I will but I’m trying to avoid doing some of the major US cities until my channel is a little bigger 😊
Thanks for the vid onCindy. Theres a big river straight across from GABP, AND PAUL BROWN STADIUM. IT'S CALLED THE LICKING RIVER, NO METION OF THIS?????. And gotta, the breakfast meat of champions!!!!! Only served, made, and enjoyed outside of Germany. Can only get it in Cincinnati!!!!! You can have sausage, and mush, bacon well maybe not bacon lol, but gotta is as good a breakfast dish as there is in the world.
Hey. I would love if you would do a video on Jacksonville.
I’ll add it to the list!
This is 1 of the 2 cities that my wife and I will be maybe moving too. We have not made up our minds yet, but it's Cincy or Pittsburgh
Both are great cities but prepare for not ideal weather!
Dude Cincinnati is such a cool city coming from a Hoosier opinion. I love visiting that place.
I live in Cincinnati it's very beautiful there
Cincinnati’s skyline is so iconic and attractive that it was used for years as the title animation of the long running CBS Soap Opera “Edge of Night”
Video Suggestion Can you do a video about Louisville Kentucky?
I went to Wilmington College and interned downtown Cincinnati. I think their downtown is the best in the state.
Nope. Columbus
its weird that I live in Cincinnati and that I have seen a majority of these landmarks, and at this point just kinda overlooking them. I do agree this is a great city though! people keep dissing on ohio, but really (or at least Cincinnati) is a great place to live!
I'd love to add that Cincinnati chili is probably better thought of as a Greek immigrant's take on a bolognese. Contrary to popular belief, allergy info reveals that not a single Cinci chili parlor adds chocolate. Instead it is a mix of spices like cumin, tumeric, and cinnamon like you might expect more from like shawarma chicken. When you expect a meat sauce in this flavor range instead of actual chili, it becomes a lot less weird on hotdogs or spaghetti.
Also worth noting that smaller parlors (like Camp Washington and Blue Ash Chili) tend to be better than the more fast-food parlors like Skyline and Gold Star.
Also also, idk why more people dont push Goetta more than the chili as a Cinci food. It is a sweet grain breakfast sausage made in Cinci that i feel like probably has a broader appeal...
Minnesota had 3m and they were networked with university of minnesota. There was a two tiered system of employment.
Cincinnati definitely gets stuck in the shadows of Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville a lot. It's an underrated, overlooked Southern city, and a pretty decent one at that (if flat land and lack of outdoor stuff doesn't bother you). It's also pretty close to the Midwest, which is a plus (you can get to more open-minded places like Illinois and Michigan within a day's drive, unlike in other parts of the South).
I love my City!
I live in Cincinnati and I think it's a great city,of course it has it downside with vices here and there but hey it's still the queen city.
Kept waiting for a mention of FC Cincinnati and TQL Stadium in the sport section 😢
I’ve lived in Cincy/NKY my whole life. It’s okay but it has a lot of crime in certain areas. Huge heroin/fentanyl problem. But there’s some fun stuff to do here and there. It’s home though, which is why I’ve never truly left, even when moving to KY, I’m only 7 minutes away from downtown.
As a local from Cincinnati, I will accept no slander of our glorious three ways / four ways / five ways and cheese coneys
Back in the day it was a Five Way and two coney dogs for me.
We also have one of America's oldest observatories!
Forgot to mention FC Cincinnati ... currently #1 in all of MLS and rumors are floating around that Cincy may me landing an NHL team
I think for some cities metro population isn’t a good indicator ie Portland Maine that may have a metro of 500,000 but if you look at the metro area it takes up all of southern Maine
That's not the case for Cincinnati. The Kentucky counties included are absolutely part of greater Cincinnati, as is Dearborn cty in Indiana. Cincy sits right on the river, which is also a state border, so on paper, it loses close to 100k of population, when those communities across that river,are right on the edge of Downtown. But not counted as "city population" but they are in the community, and we deal with the traffic..lol
Appreciate the effort, but you completely omitted FC Cincinnati.
bro made cinci look so good lmao i used to live there
Why no mention of the scenic ridge of hills framing the city to the north?
How is it to live in Cincinnati? Is it a safe city and good to live there ? U like that the populatin is around 310.000 inhabitants. Not too big, not too small.
Wow! I am so surprised you didn't cover anything more about Over the Rhine, other than a mention about its historic area... No mention of the canal that gained the nickname, "The Rhine" because of the large population of German immigrants north of it? And the neighborhood's moniker, since once you crossed over the canal, you were in "Over the Rhine"? No mention of the neighborhood's dazzling history in hosting the great Ohio Exibitions during the late 1800s, and early 1900s where the city did such things as, building entire buildings expressly for their use, and importing gondolas from Venice for rides on the canal? Cincinnati's huge presence in beer brewing before prohibition, that surpassed even Milwaukee's, (with many of the original brewery buildings now in use for that once again)? Or, its amazing recent rebirth, with the renovation of 100's of historic buildings, now housing quaint restaurants, shops, residences, and boutique hotels? The fabulous renovation of Washington Park directly across the street from Music Hall with its two performance areas, and interactive lighted fountains? Hmmm, seems like you may have missed a thing or two on your visit... Do come back again, and dip your toes a little deeper into our waters...😊
Another nice presentation / overview of an underappreciated, almost forgotten city by City Geek, with a fine choice of its architectural highlights. These videos could be improved, however, by the elimination of the silly background music.
Thank you for the comment and the feedback regarding the music!
c Come see me 😘. w0 Glad you liked it! Is there anything in particular that you particularly liked? jp
Cincinnati is the most underrated city in the world fr
I’d say it’s tied with Pittsburgh. Both are about the same size and both punch far above their weights.
Do Greenville SC or Albany NY
I'm an Aussie from Melbourne Australia always interested in American cities.Which Ohio city is the best out of the big 3,Columbus,Cincinatti or Cleveland?
Cincinnati. Better architecture, dense neighborhoods, better geography, better cultural/entertainment options, and a real energy to improve. The biggest con is that the suburbs are very conservative and very racist.
Columbus may get there eventually, as it has absolutely exploded in population over the last two decades, but historically it's a much smaller city. It's flat, has dull architecture, and everything is sprawling and spread out. In that regard, it resembles a southern city like Nashville or Dallas whereas Cincinnati is like a mini Chicago with hills and a river instead of a lake.
Cleveland is just sad. It used to be great but the population has collapsed and the city simply feels empty. They desperately need a Cincinnati style renaissance but haven't even turned the corner yet. It's still in decline so it's a long way from improving.
@@balboa0621 Totally agree with your assessment of Cincy and Columbus. I will reserve judgment on Cleveland since I have only passed through the airport many years ago but being originally from Cincy, I remember there always seemed to be a rivalry between the 2 cities in many aspects.
@@royg2412 I spent most of my life in Cincy, with a few years in other cities, before moving to Columbus two years ago. Columbus has a lot going for it in the younger, more diverse population and growing economy, but the natural and historic resources that Cincinnati has cannot be matched. And over the last 20 years, the urban revitalization in Cincinnati has been one of the most remarkable in the country, even with pretty stagnant population growth. The energy behind the redevelopment shows a pride in the city and a respect for the history that Columbus does not and can never have..
Cleveland? Man, I'm rooting for them, but they have an uphill battle. The lake and the urban infrastructure are fantastic resources, but it's all just falling apart.
Get a dictionary and look up the word “bland.” Next to it, you’ll see a picture of Columbus. It’s flat and suburban- even the urban parts.
Cincinnati and Cleveland have more urban amenities - but Cincy leads with character.
@@SL-vy8ue if someone came to visit me in Cincinnati, I could pack a weekend full of food, culture, entertainment, and sightseeing. If somebody came to visit me in Columbus and they weren't going to an OSU game, I wouldn't have the first clue what to show them. What, take them to Easton?
Bro it feels surreal hearing him talk about my city positively
Best looking city in Ohio. imo
looks better from Kentucky tho
@@dzr23 I mean it should because you can’t see the whole city from within the city lol
Columbus is
Cincy is naturally but the stuff Columbus us building
