Posted November 8, 200420 yr This seems to be a weekly occurrence... I get bored and take pictures, then post them here. This weekend it was (part of) downtown Cincy. I'll spare you a lot of the 100 or so pictures. Here's what remains. Parked on Main Street (mine's the second car back) Parking Parking Parking Oooooooh..... shiny Requisite Carew Tower shot... More reflectivity... Don't walk! Hello, Mr. Lincoln Fourth Street yet again Almost sunset... makes for nice colors I believe I'll walk across the bridge! Yup, walk across it. Hooray for fossil fuels! I could smell that Friday's down there from the bridge. Made it to the other side. ...and headed back. Ran out of memory here. And finally, these days I don't walk away from Cincinnati without a pano or three. -----------> I'd also like to point out how cool I thought it was to see people that actually looked like quasi-tourists walking around. I saw a number of people who were holding some sort of pamphlet-type of guide, and at least one group of people I can be sure were visitors, since I was asked for restaurant advice. (I don't know why I would look like I'd know anything, since I'm the one who is walking around and taking pictures of everything like a tourist.) Maybe it's the Ohio low self-esteem, but I did not expect to see tourist types, so I was pleasantly surprised. While I did seem to have certain streets all to myself (Broadway for a time was eerily devoid of all life, including traffic), seeing a fair amount of activity downtown on a Saturday made me happy. But I hadn't been here in a while, so maybe my expectations were too low.
November 8, 200420 yr Nice...I liked the P&G "reflection" shot and the 2nd pano the best. God, those old buildings at the foot of Main are falling into such disrepair.
November 8, 200420 yr I notice a lot of people downtown this weekend and I think it had to do with the Bengals v. Dallas game on Sunday. I think a lot of out-of-town Cowboy fans . . .

February 13, 200718 yr This is my favorite pic, I love the density of 4th St!...and wow its suprising to see how much the areas around FS have transformed over the past couple of years (Government Square, Fountain Square, nearby businesses, removed skywalks, new facades). Its great to see the before and remember where we once stood (a 70's abomination)...oh, and bump by the way!
February 13, 200718 yr as a Nyer who is not a huge fan of many American cities in general, Cincy is one pretty city!
February 13, 200718 yr Some great photos there, indeed! Great density! As UncleRando noted, it is interesting to see shots before some of the recent projects, like the McAlpins. Whats up with this space behind the Fed Reserve building? This block has always bothered me.
February 18, 200718 yr I usually get asked about local stuff only when I am in an area I don't know. I really liked this'n
February 18, 200718 yr I love the photographs. I'll agree with other comments about Cincinnati's density - and one reason why I say it reminds me a lot of New York when I enter the city!
February 18, 200718 yr Nice pics. Overall, I tend to think Cincy has the most picturesque big-city downtown in the state.
