Seen Cincy lately? The pretty city on the Ohio River – off the main cross-country interstates – gets bypassed by many road trippers, but it’s quietly transformed itself in the last decade into a worthy weekend getaway. Life centers around the river – much which can be seen by foot: river walkways are best on the Kentucky side, reached via a couple bridges including John Roebling’s Suspension Bridge (a prequel to his famous Brooklyn Bridge). Narrow, twisting (and steep) brick roads of the Mt Adams district lead past 19th-century Victorian townhouses and the free Cincinnati Art Museum, while the once-dangerous, emerging Over-the-Rhine, just north of downtown, is home to the Findlay Market and a sprawling collection of historic Italianate architecture. Best, though, is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, open since 2004, on the banks of the river where many slaves escaped to freedom in the 19th century.The US Virgin Islands was no. 1, and the New York Hudson River Valley was no. 2. We beat major cities like Chicago, and paradises like Hawaii.
This just goes to show that in the past decade Cincinnati has really put some attention in some of the right places. Cincinnati is on the road to becoming a sought out destination for newcomers.
This article prompted me to do a little web searching to find out why people move to Cincinnati, and why we love it here, and I came across this video put together by HYPE Cincinnati (Harnessing Young Professional Energy):
This is why we love our city!
