Greetings,

Welcome to Cincinnati. We are happy to have you here to visit the Queen City.

Citiview Cincinnati serves as an excellent introduction to the many exciting activities and attractions that our great city has to offer.

Cincinnati is a city where you will find unparalleled arts, celebrated cultural institutions, and first-class entertainment options. We are proud to be the home of the two-time Tony Award winning Playhouse in the Park, one of the top five zoos in the coun-try, world class museums, a nationally recognized park system, and two professional sports teams.

You are visiting Cincinnati during one of the more dynamic periods in the city’s history. We are experiencing an urban renais-sance that rivals anything happening elsewhere in the country.

Last year, we redefined our skyline with the addition of the Great American Tower, our new tallest building. On the riverfront, we have opened the first phase of a new 18 acre, development between our two stadiums that combines retail, restaurants, and housing. In addition, we are redefining our riverfront with a new 45-acre park. North of Downtown, we are redeveloping, Over-the-Rhine, one of the largest historic districts in the nation, into a thriving and eclectic urban neighborhood, full of unique shopping and dining experiences.

You can also enjoy visiting the places which have made Cincinnati a destination for years. Take in a concert on Fountain Square, shop at Findlay Market, or spend the afternoon with the family at the Ballpark. And, of course, don’t forget to try our world famous Cincinnati-style chili.

This book is a showcase of all that Cincinnati has to offer. The attractions and hot spots that you learn about in these pages are what make Cincinnati a great place to visit.

Enjoy your stay and I hope you come back to visit soon.

Bier: A Cincinnati Tradition Continues

F or nearly 100 years,

leading up to Prohibi-

tion, beer was a lead-

ing export and the breweries

themselves were a major employer

of Cincinnati. Although Cincinnati

had previously been infamous for

being the center of pork produc-

tion in the US, beer eventually

took the lead in driving Cincinnati’s

economy. By 1890, Cincinnati was

the 3rd largest beer producer in

the country.

Several German breweries lo-

cated in Over The Rhine produced

this beer. Over The Rhine is a 360-

acre neighborhood located just

north of downtown Cincinnati. This

neighborhood was the landing

spot for most immigrants making

their way to Cincinnati, including

the Germans, who brought with

them a serious work ethic, a strong

cultural identity and a thirst for

bier. (traditional German spelling)

At one time Over The Rhine

was home to more than 15 brew-

eries. A few of these elaborate

structures still stand today. In fact,

some lagering tunnels and under-

ground storage facilities that ran

underground and connected many

buildings and facilities are still be-

ing rediscovered today.

The many saloons that oper-

ated during this period were

the nerve center of social life for

many of the residents of Over The

Rhine. They were also the target

of several temperance movements

and caused a considerable amount

of political unrest in the area.

Gerke Brewery Company, circa 1890

Louis Hudepohl, founder of Hudepohl Brewery.

The University of Cincinnati Architecture students at Meidel’s Beer Garden, 1910

With the onset of Prohibition

in 1919, the many breweries in

the region were shut down. A few

were able to reopen in 1933 but

changes in the marketplace made

it difficult for them to operate for

long. Many bigger operations such

as Anheuser-Busch and Miller had

changed the game.

A few Cincinnati beer names

you may recognize include: Hude-

pohl, Christian Moerlein, Burger,

Schoenlings and Little Kings. The

Christian Moerlein Brewing Com-

pany has now brought these Cincin-

nati beers and their rich brewing

tradition back to life. These beers

are even being brewed at updated

and restored facilities in their old

neighborhood, Over The Rhine.

H yde Park has long been a magnate community in Cincinnati for people from

many walks of life wanting to live, go to school, shop, eat and play amongst abundant green spaces, parks, shops, restaurants and turn-of-the-last century homes set amongst lush 100+ year old flora and fauna. At less than 5 miles from downtown Cincinnati, Hyde Park offers those who choose to live and visit here terrific proximity to the center-city as well as easy access to other destinations including the Greater Cincinnati airport, North-ern Kentucky and popular outlying suburbs. Think of Hyde Park as a picturesque one-of-a-kind “cityburb” and you’ve got the picture.

Idyllic Hyde Park Square is the heart of this community. The center of “The Square” (Erie Avenue between Edwards and Michigan) is defined by an island park in the middle of Erie Boulevard featuring lawns and land-scaped areas as well as historic Kilgore Fountain. Residents and visitors alike find this spot great for sitting on a bench to enjoy a Graeter’s ice cream cone, relaxing after a great breakfast at The Echo, communing with neighbors (and their happy hounds) or just taking in the sights. Surrounding the Square are over 100 specialty shops and boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops, banks, salons, real estate agencies and all fashion of independent business and merchant dedicated to offer-ing one-of-a-kind merchandise and a unique patron experience.

Hyde Park Square also features many events that never cease to delight including the annual Hyde Park Art Show (celebrating its 46th year) that takes place the first Sunday

Cincinnati’s Crown Jewel: Hyde Park Square

The Hyde Park Farmers Market takes place every Sunday 9:30-1:30 June through October on Erie Avenue between Edwards Road & Michigan Avenue and May & Novem-ber at the US Bank parking lot/3424 Edwards Road.

The annual Hyde Park Square Sidewalk Sale is August 23-26 and the annual Holiday Tree Lighting event with carriage rides, Santa arrival, carolers and more takes place the Friday after Thanksgiving (November 23, 2012).

Though many consider Hyde Park to be one of the most desirable, pres-tigious and safe neighborhoods to live in the city, it’s worth noting that there is a true diversity in Hyde Park hous-

ing ranging from multi-million-dollar river-view estates to mid-range family homes to high-rise full-service con-dominium buildings to starter homes as well as a wide variety of home and apartment rental opportunities. Hyde Park real estate enjoys resplendent architecture, price value stability and location, location, location! For more information visit www.digs-home.com

A Walk in the Park

Many of these parks feature incredible views

of Cincinnati’s breathtaking skyline while

others offer an exciting waterfront experi-

ence or the personality of one of our many

unique neighborhoods.

The heart of downtown Cincinnati is con-

nected to historic Covington and Newport,

Kentucky via the John A. Roebling Suspen-

sion Bridge and the Purple People Bridge,

allowing pedestrians and bike riders to

navigate across the Ohio River.

The Purple People Bridge connects

downtown to Newport and the Roebling

connects to Covington. You’ll be surprised at

the ease with which you can travel across the

river here.

There also many marinas that offer dining

and boating experiences that include the

mighty Ohio River.

Whatever your mood or activity you

have planned, there is an appropriate spot

for you in Cincinnati.

F rom early spring through late fall, Cincinnati is home to a

wide variety of outdoor activities, including golf, concerts, running and bike races, walks and festivals. Many of these are held in the city’s beautiful parks. A great opportunity to explore the great outdoors of Cincinnati!
