Come and check out unearthed artifacts from 19th-century Cincinnati on the Banks construction site, Saturday, May 9 between 9:30 and 11 am! The site is between the two stadiums, on what used to be Race and Water Streets, where a saloon and grocery store once stood.

Pretty cool, but in Europe I don't think they would call these archaelogical artifacts. My guess is they would call it trash. In my Europe-altered eyes, it takes a thousand years before trash becomes archaelogical. Still these are interesting finds.

My parents live in a 19th century "artifact".

This is exciting. I'm glad it's being incorporated into the Riverfront Park.
