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!

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.

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.

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

That pic of dusk going down on the Queen City is just amazingly beautiful

Many thanks for a review of my favorite city, though I live elsewhere.

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 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

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?

And then we left but the trip wasn't all day trip one day trip and it was fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City was named after Eweing Marion Kauffman who owned the Royals.

Turkey's all motorways, subways, all of buses public and intercity buses are all brand new. Oldest bosphorus bridge was built on 1973, other bosphorus bridges in Istanbul, Yalova have been built in 1995, 2019, 2021. 6 big cities of Turkey have brand new Spanish 250 km/hour fast trains.

Northern cities like??? If too far north, no thanks. Too cold and depressing during the winters for me.

Beautiful City of Cincinnati Ohio, and these are the places to not drive in role your windows up in these areas OverThe Rhine, Price Hill, West Eight Street, Colerain Avenue.

I used to live in Cincinnati. My biggest problem is it’s not walkable as soon as you leave downtown, they also have terrible transit options, no bike lanes and they have a big fat highway running through downtown…

Many people who work in this area actually commute from northern Kentucky.

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.

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.

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.

I only wish there were as many Now Hiring signs in 2008 when I needed a job.

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.
