Driving Downtown - City Center - Cincinnati Ohio USA
Driving Downtown Streets - Walnut Street - Cincinnati Ohio USA - Episode 67.
Starting Point: .
Cincinnati is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio that serves as county seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located on the north side of the confluence of the Licking with the Ohio River. The latter forms the border between the states of Ohio and Kentucky. Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and the 65th-largest city in the United States with a population of 298,165 people (2014), making it the 28th-largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States and the largest centered in Ohio. The city is also part of the larger Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census.
In the early 19th century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country; it rivaled the larger coastal cities in size and wealth. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the Eastern Seaboard; at one point holding the position of America's sixth-largest city for a period spanning consecutive census reports from 1840 until 1860. It was by far the largest city in the west. Because it is the first major American city founded after the American Revolution as well as the first major inland city in the country, Cincinnati is sometimes thought of as the first purely American city.[10]
Cincinnati developed with less European immigration or influence than eastern cities attracted in the same period; however, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on commodity exploitation and the railroads, and St. Louis, for decades after the Civil War the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to two major sports teams, the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest franchise in Major League Baseball, and the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. The University of Cincinnati, founded in 1819, is one of the 50 largest in the United States.[11] Cincinnati is known for its historic architecture. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as Paris of America, due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store.
Economy
Major corporations have their head offices in Cincinnati, such as Procter & Gamble, The Kroger Company, and Macy's, Inc., amongst others. Kroger, the largest employer in the city, has 17,000 employees. The University of Cincinnati is the second largest, with 15,162 employees.
Arts and Culture
Cincinnati's culture is strongly influenced by its history of German and Irish immigrants and its geographical position on the border of the Southern United States and Midwestern United States.[citation needed] In the mid to late nineteenth century, Cincinnati became a major destination for German and Irish immigrants. In 1830 residents with German roots made up 5 percent of the population, as many had migrated from Pennsylvania; ten years later the number had risen to 30 percent.[65] Thousands of German immigrants entered the city after the revolutions in the German states in 1848 and by 1900, more than 60 percent of its population was of German background.
Sports
Cincinnati has two major league teams, seven minor league teams, five college institutions with sports teams, and seven major sports venues. Cincinnati's two major league teams are Major League Baseball's Reds, who were named for America's first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings;[88][89][90] and the Bengals of the National Football League. On Major League Baseball Opening Day, Cincinnati has the distinction of holding the traditional opener in baseball each year, due to its baseball history. Many children in Cincinnati skip school on Opening Day, which is commonly thought of as a city holiday.[91]
The Side of Portsmouth, Ohio That You Rarely See
Close to the intersection of Front & Court Sts is this dilapitated area of old run-down buildings and vacant, overgrown lots. One would think that the city would want to rid the area of places like this, and revamp them with newer housing, or perhaps develop the property for commercial land use, such as a hotel or restaurant to bring customers & tourists to the area.
The area in the video is immediately adjacent to the flood wall murals, and you cannot help but notice this lot as you stoll along Front St and glance at the murals.
The white wall at the beginning of the video is believed to be the wall to a food warehousing & distribution company. I start out walking down an abandoned alleyway between this building and the adjacent vacant lot, which looks like an overgrown jungle more than anything.
Next I came upon an interesting sight: an old railroad rail being used as a pole to help prevent vehicles from hitting the corner of a nearby garage.
At 1:18 I passed an old plastic garbage can filled with junk and old stagnant water, which itself was full of mosquito larvae. I found myself standing in the back of a couple old tenement buildings which 100 years ago may have been used as housing for families in the Boneyfiddle area of Portsmouth. Sadly, what was once the back yards of these buildings has now become the wastelands of these old buildings, full of trash, old bricks, wood pallets, and even a wooden staircase.
I continued on my trek, and had apparently discovered the corner home of a homeless man, complete with an old discarded mattress. The yard area surrounding the mattress had obviously been mowed quite recently, and it actually looked decent.
At 2:32, I found a glass blocked window, with one glass block broken. Inside this single broken block, a bird had made a nest. At 3:24, you can see just how close I am to the floodwall murals on Front St.

Ohio: Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park preserves and reclaims the rural landscape along the Cuyahoga river between Akron and Cleveland in northeast Ohio, designated as a national park in 2000.
The park follows the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. Before the canal was built, Ohio was a sparsely settled wilderness where travel was difficult and getting crops to market was nearly impossible. The canal, built between 1825 and 1832, provided a successful transportation route from Cleveland, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth, on the Ohio River. The canal opened up Ohio to the rest of the settled eastern United States.
Canal Exploration Center in the park has a restored Ohio & Erie Canal Lock and free demonstrations on how the locks work.
The Brandywine Falls is among the most popular attractions in the park.
A combination of boardwalk and steps brings into the waterfall's gorge and lets one view the waterfall head-on.
