Goodnight, Queen City.

 

Wonderful photo set -- everything from treasures to travesties! I think the black-and-white rendering, along with the hazy light, makes that opening shot possibly the most dramatic Cincinnati skyline photo I've seen.

ELIZA !

 

I used to live in this hood

Guy at the pawn shop on Vine across from the state store told me once, "Nice neighborhood, good people - you just never know if you're going to wake up in the morning or burn to death while you sleep."

He was right.

Great pics. Cinti is beautiful in the winter.

Fantastic!

 

Please tell me where you get that first shot from (a classic ColDayMan view).  I tried to find it once, and the only spots I could see would have been in people's back yards.

Fantastic shots!  Most of the neighborhood shots were OTR, right?  Urban-errific!

^Most were Fairview, Over-the-Rhine, The West End, Mt. Auburn, and Camp Washington.

 

PigBoy, that shot is always taken from somebody's backyard (they are always nice to me; even offered me cookies!) up the hill on Observatory in Bellevue.

wow holy hyper fantastic angles batman!

 

very colorful and varied stock. i dk about gritty tho, it all looked very well kept and vibrant.

Because Over-the-Rhine and Camp Washington are teaming with Starbucks ;)

camp washington does not teem with yuppified coffee, it teems with currified, spaghettified chili.

Love it.

nice pics. like always.

i need some chili now

Wow...as always, just classic...

Coldayman, what street are these homes on?

 

Mulberry St.

Wow.  I mean...holy....

 

this may be my favorite nati set out of you yet. I enjoyed the 90% content of not downtown (i think)

I don't think there is a single picture of downtown in there...?

Well, the ass end of this shot...though the subject is definitely foreground Vine Street:

yeah, i guess you are right, i kinda meant the lack of downtown even visible in some, which is a good thing, then it looming in the background every now and then.

BUMP!!!

 

And boy is this shot interesting.  Is this 14th & Vine?  I don't think 3CDC has quite gotten up here yet, but I'm sure they're getting close.  Maybe we should keep this pic around fro a before and after.

 

Things are going on at 14th & Vine as we speak.  Some people out there believe that this will become the best area of OTR in a few short years.

Awesome set of photos! Some of the old, some new, all interesting. One of the best sets of photos I've seen on Urban Ohio with a lot of photographic variety and architectural diversity. I like the historic row/town homes especially. The OTR images are gems and glad you included the often over-looked Dayton St.-West End as well. Put all of the images together with commentary and you would have a very nice coffee table book.  I hope progress in preserving the amazing local historic housing stock continues despite current tough times. This collection gives a non-local (myself) a good idea of what one can find in the area. Cincinnati lives up to its reputation as a "classic" American city in these images but sometimes the odd angles of the buildings and streets suggest some old world European city rooted in the middle ages. It would be interesting to see what has changed since 2005 in the years to come. 

^I'd believe that!

Whoa...this is when I was the original UncleRando still.

 

And then I passed my thrown onto him and moved to Columbus.
