February 8, 200916 yr :-) SETH: What a wonderful idea - and add in a topography photo of sorts identify the "hill" as being one of the seven. Great stuff! Historical - fact, not someone's idea of "whatever", which helped me realize the importance of living in the foothills - of something; I'd be a liar if I said what they are- actually, I didn't realize the changing of colors, foothills, et al, until I started going to NC on a regular basis. Think of bringing awareness into otherwise unaware lives. This works for me! And I grew up in Cinti! Spent a good 13 years there. sdh :)
February 8, 200916 yr Heh, and to think I was just in Cincy today, at Finley Market, and then a 5 way at Camp Washington before heading home.
February 13, 200916 yr Well, I've learned a great deal from this particular website! The "crescent" called the "seven hills" are easy enough to find if one has the time to spend. Mount Harrison is now known as Price Hill. Vine Street Hill might be, but I find it a street as well as a Cemetary; it is the boundary between east/west Cinti., and is marked by "over the Rhine" - if that tells us anything. Most all of the "hills" are on the east side, so I can see the cresent - more like a half moon. So, my dad used to praise Cinti. for being the best in everything; he was born there in Camp Washinton in 1910; perhaps back then, and when I was growing up there, it was. It leaves a lot to be desired now; perhaps now that I'm older it's just another big city. By the way, he was born in Camp Washington, on Colrein Ave. His parents moved to Langland Ave. in Northside; that's probably when he went to Hughes High. So, I've found my answer(s), thanks to this as well as other sites in Urban Ohio. Thanks for teaching me what I wanted to know. I'm sure one can't "go back", and I know I had a good time growing up in Cincinnati; I'm glad I had the times I had before my parents moved. If I'm wrong about anything, please let me know. sdh So, I've decided that the hills ascend until one gets to College Hill, with an Elevation of about 893.9 feet.
