Posted December 7, 200915 yr Sorry no actual pictures in this thread. These photos were taken by Michael G. Smith, grandson of Nelson Ronsheim who took some famous shots of Cincinnati from 1939-1941. Smith has replicated each of his grandfathers photo by taking them from the same perspective 70 years later. A great then and now perspective. Enjoy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelgsmith/sets/72157622910067110/

Yeah, it was vibrant -- in terms of activity, but it wasn't exactly the type of neighborhoods that people truly desired to live in. They were often vastly overcrowded, unsafe and unsanitary. But it is a part of Cincinnati that I miss -- the vibrancy part, that is, which comes with density.
