Posted November 6, 200816 yr HELLO! This is my first post here. Some of you may know me from ssp. Anyway, I moved to Cincinnati from Portland, OR two months ago, and here are some pics taken since I moved here. Big props to ColDayMan for showing me around. Enjoy!
November 6, 200816 yr Very nice! Glad I stopped by, almost didn't because I thought it was another political thread!!! :drunk:
November 6, 200816 yr Awesome! How do you like Cincy so far? What neighborhood do you live in? Waiting for MTS to comment on the picture of the guy with the comb over Jerry Curl...
November 6, 200816 yr Jesus, these are some amazing shots. I absolutely love this city. A lot of grit, but beneath that, a hell of a lot of beauty. How do you like living there so far? Any surprises?
November 7, 200816 yr Welcome! Wow what an entrance....those are some dynamite photos. Really captures the essence of Cincinnati. Thanks!
November 7, 200816 yr Welcome to UO :) I still have to give you the gloom and doom tour of the city showing you all the grit that Coldayman didn't want you to see ;)
November 7, 200816 yr There are some really unique views in this collection. I especially like the second last one. Thanks and welcome.
November 7, 200816 yr Outstanding set, Fang-O.! Since I spent some time in the Portland area until last December, (a parent lives in nearby Estacada and an aunt in Milwaukee, OR) I'm curious to know how Cincy compares to Portland. My plans are to relocate to the Queen City when and if I can ever sell my home in Texas. I've seen many excellent Cincinnati images and yours rank among the best-excellent subject matter choices, great perspectives, and excellent technique. Isn't Cincinnati one of the most photogenic and picturesque cities you've ever seen? I can hardly wait to visit there in the coming spring. If a property sale ever happens, I'll be taking a lot more than a camera, and my "visit" will be indefinite. Thanks for a wonderful set, I look forward to seeing more.
November 7, 200816 yr My god! Did you happen to smuggle in any streetcars? I like the picture of the "Box" (red '80s Impala with big wheels). They don't build those out West, do they?
November 7, 200816 yr Thanks for the responses! edale, I currently live in Clifton and love the convenience of having everything within a very short walk. ProkNo, Cincinnati has been full of surprises, as I was shown on the ColDayMan tour. It's amazing how fast neighborhoods change. JohnS, Cincinnati and Portland, aside from the size of their metropolitan areas, are hardly comparable. Completely different kinds of cities! Overall, I'd say Portland is much more uniform and coherent as a whole, while Cincinnati seems to be a collection of little villages, lending to a much more provincial culture in each cluster. That isn't to say it's worse, I guess it depends on who you ask. I think it's pretty interesting, though. GCrite, funny you should ask about red cars with rims. This was taken in Portland last year, haha: http://www.pbase.com/fangorangutang/image/71515236 But it's definitely not as much a part of the culture as Cincinnati.

Portland (top 3): 78% - White 7% - Asian 6.6% - Black Cincinnati (top 3): 50% - White 44% - Black 1.6% - Asian I've never seen that ice cream palace before - where is that? In OTR?! It's actually on W. McMicken near MLK. I believe it's this building with the brown roof (northern of the two), on the left side of the road. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cincinnati,+oh&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.69072,89.648437&ie=UTF8&ll=39.138682,-84.531898&spn=0.001529,0.003755&t=h&z=19&g=cincinnati,+oh

Perhaps one of these weekends...I'm usually pretty busy with school, but I'll definitely let you know. Perhaps we could have a mini forum get-together. That shot you mentioned is at UC, right in the middle of campus.
