When I moved to Cincinnati from Virginia Beach in 1970 the city was less complex-Fountain Square was new and less crowded, the Gibson Hotel was still extant and Pogue’s and Closson's were the pre-eminent retail emporiums-sadly, all are now gone.
@Enki_of_Erie No body asked about Cleveland. Besides why are you on all the cincy vids trying to prove something about Cleveland???? If they wanted to talk about Cleveland, they would have.
They built a very lame baseball park on the river (sort of). For a decade there was absolutely nothing to do anywhere near the place (that has finally changed). Cincinnati has got to be one of the poorest ran cities in America for what it could be.
Agreed...Great American Ballpark could have been so so much better than it is...It's much better now than when it opened, but for the money spent, if they had spent only half of that on Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field they could have had so much more... I know there was a trend to get rid of all the cookie cutter ballparks, which was done everywhere, however looking back with what I know now I would have kept it at all costs.. The stadium was still pretty young and it was far more majestic looking than GABP.. The great history of the Big Red Machine arguably one of the greatest teams ever, if not the greatest, began really at the time that stadium opened.. . Destroying it somewhat destroyed some of the aura of that history, and to me now, that was a crime...Cincinnati owned the region of Indiana Ohio and Kentucky as the City to go to in the 1970s but has had terrible leadership since, and Indianapolis and Columbus have at least evened the score and probably surpassed it with Louisville Ky beginning to knock on the door.. Cincinnati really needs to get it in gear again. Its amazing to me that GABP is now nearly 2/3 as old as Riverfront was when they tore it down and the Reds haven't won anything since they've been in that building.
only thing I ever liked was llittle Mexico it was my favort place to feel free and I could calm down and relax not afraid pluss I was in another world I played pac man and ate Chee's Coney's I thank God they was ther for me after every thing was happen to me and Tucker's in 13 street
give me a break I Liv down town my hole teen to adault life and yes some ppl was nice but so much abuse and killing and bad crapt went on down there I was molested raped from five to 17 everyone I knew that had money hung in bucks pool hall Corky's bar silver dollar bar swing bar polars bar was the worse bars ppl slept with each other's family's mass men in them bars pick up prostutes every ware on the street alot of them had baby's by older 60 to 70 yr old men republic and race ppl was always shooting at each other vine and walnut sold drugs Mercer street had nasty older men taking pictures of kids ther was nothing good about bucks pool hall everyone had money was sleeping with younger teens and it's still not safe down there so just because they painted a closed down one building in-between two building but fixed up Washington Park and call bars clubs now it's still bars no matter wat I know alot of ppl grew up down there and it was crazy for them to 15 street was foreal a sad street for baby's and teens so sad and now they want ppl to pay more for rent u have got to be kidding me
Pretty cool video, thanks for posting this video. My wife and I were there recently and we enjoyed our time there in Cincinnati
They should do a before and after of the west end! Destroyed it putting in 75. It was another Over the Rhine except 4 times the size.
Cincinnati was ruined by 50's, 60's, and 70's urban renewal.
it’s so sad to see all of the beautiful demolished architecture

Very nice production....BUT, the logo obscures so much of the pictures. Kinda ruins it.
i'm 50 and just within my life time cincys downtown skyline looks as though it has doubled in size.

I liked it in the 80’s

OMG YOU CAN NOW MOVE PART OF A PICUTRE WITH YOUR FINGER, MY MIND IS BLOWED
Cincinnati! ❤
I'm originally from Cincinnati Ohio but now you couldn't give me a house there it's the people who destroy the city.
That's sad. I'm from Wilmington
Then.. lovely architecture and views....Now.. huge square buildings, one of which has a steel condom on top of it...Graceless, brutal structures
And now of course even the shopping centers are almost all closed---Kenwood only complete one left----time marches on-------.
