I snapped this series of images as we crossed the Ohio River, then moved across Fort Washington Way in Cincinnati.
The dividing "line" is quite distinct, isn't it....
Downtown Cincinnati used to be the center of business and commerce, but all of that has changed during the past 50 years.
The sports venues and the many restaurants and shops that come with them are a great source of revenue to the City. The business offices and retail stores have largely moved to the suburbs.
So, there is change through my lifetime and there will be surely more change after I am gone.
Cincinnati is a beautiful city and a wonderful place to raise children. In addition to this expanse of "temples of sport" on the river, we have a world class Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, are leaders in Medical Research and Treatment, have outstanding colleges and universities, and have one of the oldest and best Zoos in the country, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Of course, there is other history here where we have produced US Presidents and leaders in industry.
The very best attribute Cincinnati has is its people who are known to be kind and generous.
We have traveled the world, but I am always glad to come home to Cincinnati.
All the best,
Lois
It sounds like a lovely city to live.
