This wonderful city is described as, “the transportation, industrial, commercial, and cultural center for a region extending over southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeastern Indiana.” All those living within the boundaries of such a wonderful city appreciate Cincinnati.

In the past history of Cincinnati, it was called the “gateway to the west” due to the city overlooking the Ohio River, which served a easy migration route for immigrants to the west. The city, being founded in 1788 was named Cincinnati after the Society of Cincinnati, which was a group of officers who were involved with the American Revolution. The culture of the city is derived from the various immigrants that settled in the city limits such as Germans who still to this day have piece of Cincinnati still painted with strong German heritage.

Downtown Cincinnati is filled with renovated business buildings with companies such as Chiquita banana and Proctor and Gamble furnishing their bare walls. There are also tons of sky walkers leading its voyagers to various shopping centers and 5 star restaurants such as the Massionette. In these skyscrapers one can overlook the beautiful fountains decorating the festive street of downtown Cincinnati such as the Tyler Davidson Fountain.

Cincinnati looks upon sports as not only a sport but to serve as entertainment to its citizens. Cincinnati has both a baseball team and a football team. Their baseball team, The Cincinnati Reds which once had the legendary Pete rose on their team. Cincinnati’s football team is the Cincinnati Bengal’s.

The town where one has opportunities such as the respectful colleges it has to lead one into the future, entertainment so no one ever goes bored, and with strong culture anyone can see that ones heart never grows old within the city limits of Cincinnati.
