Posted July 19, 200915 yr How do you guys feel about this write up: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/travel/19hour.html ?
July 19, 200915 yr I can hardly believe my eyes! NYT comes through with a good one! Read the basics portion. "A rental car is recommended." That needs to change! :wink:
July 19, 200915 yr What do they mean? "decimated the city’s Over-the-Rhine district" NOTHING was destroyed.
July 20, 200915 yr good to see a nice article on Cincy. To us that know Cincy well, it should be no surprise.
July 21, 200915 yr NYTimes trying to suck up to the rest of the country to increase readership, I see... Still nice to get a complement from a once-great paper, even if it is on the way out :-)
July 21, 200915 yr What do they mean? "decimated the city’s Over-the-Rhine district" NOTHING was destroyed. That's typical for the New York Times. They are notorious for shoddy fact-checking and mistakes in their articles. Anytime they have an article about something I'm very familiar with (whether a city, college, artist, sport, etc) I always notice at least one very basic factual mistake. Anyway, it's an otherwise nice mention. However, I'm surprised that they didn't place more emphasis on Mt. Adams, Eden Park, and the Art Museum, since that's such an obvious highlight for the city. They mentioned the playhouse, but that's it.
July 21, 200915 yr What do they mean? "decimated the city’s Over-the-Rhine district" NOTHING was destroyed. I think they meant decimated the image, but I don't get that either. It had an unsavory reputation long before the riots. And "Traffic" took care of making it national. Half the neighborhood has been destroyed since 1930, not 2001. That was a weird line...I guess they just needed to get that jab in.:wink: Someone needs to do a "Traffic" compared to the current reality side by side pictorial of OTR, I wonder what has changed

That has been totally redone.
