Born and raised in Cincy. This was a fun read!

You missed some stuff while there.

If you go back, check out Mt.Adams. The City View Tavern is the original dive bar, I promise. Also the Blind Lemon, dive bar, Mt Adams (I lived in Mt. Adams once).

The East Side of town is also worth spending some time. Zips in Mt. Lookout square. Wallethub says Cincinnati is one of the best towns for foodies. Goetta, sometimes found in our dive bars, but mostly for breakfast, Graeters Ice Cream, the world’s best and I try ice cream everywhere I travel . Montgomery inn for ribs, Izzy’s for an authentic rueben sandwich with a pickle and potato pancake and Avril-Bleh for your Cincinnati sausage. Just to name a few things!

Arnolds was once owned by “Mr. Cincinnati”, and former mayor you’ll have to look that one up…

Cincinnatian here, you did a great job of portraying why so many of us love this city! One thing I’d add is that many of us have very mixed feelings about the legacy of 3CDC given the amount of public funds that have gone through it without necessarily as much accountability.
