- downtown ballparks are great actually.
Fuck your downtown ballpark. - One of the most beautiful skyscrapers I've ever seen tbh
i can't get over it. lives rent free in my head. it's perfect. we can still make beautiful things. i want ten thousand of these - People forget sometimes how prestigious of a city Cincinnati was until 1940s-50s. It was still in the top 20 largest cities in the US until the 1960 Census. Cincinnati's 495 ft. Central Trust (PNC) Tower was the tallest skyscraper in the world outside of NYC in 1913.
- The WKRP in Cincinnati full intro - Season 1 (1978-79) Probably the best depiction of late 70s Downtown Cincinnati captured on camera.
00:00 - Since everyone is here atm(😭😭😭) I think these two photos comparing 1933 to 2023 would be more accurate and show the starkness of the damage rought to Cincinnati by highway construction and urban renewal. I have other comparisons that tell the story very well.
There were Manhattans all over America and we destroyed them all for cars - Jerry Springer saving Union Terminal was probably the best thing that any city leader has done in the past 70 years.
- the cincinnati skyline the last time the reds won a playoff series
30 years without winning a playoff series btw - If i had a nickel for every time a bridge has caught on fire in cincinnati in november i'd have two - which isn't alot but it's weird it's happened twice.
- CINCINNATI MENTIONED 😭😭😭First look at the Hall of Justice in the DCU.
- screaming crying throwing up
Dudes will be like “I miss her” and it’s a 19th century interurban railway
