Back when I was in high school I couldnt wait to leave this city, I was tired of all the same old crap all the time. Now Ive just returned home after being gone for some time and I have come to realize how much this city really has to offer (most of these things I havent even done or been to yet). Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati library (its like 3rd or 4th biggest in the nation), Museum of natrual History, Union Terminal, Paul Brown Stadium(Bengals), Cinergy Field (Reds), Newport Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, Sawyer Point, and Fountain Square. If its amusment parks you want then you may enjoy visiting Coney Island, The Beach, or Kings Island. If you are looking for cheap dining GOLDSTAR, or SKYLINE CHILI IS A MUST!! These are two chain restraunts in town that serve Cincinnati style chili which is what Cincy is known for, and it is excellent my friends (chili is made with chocolate which makes it very unique). Want something a bit more pricey? Try Desha's, The Precinct, or The Masonette (5 star). If you want to hit up some of the local clubs, then try Metropolis, The Yucatan Liquor Stand, or Motions. If you want to check out some local or national rock acts try Riverbend,
Sudsy Malone's, or Bogarts. These are just a few of the things to check out in the City, so if you are ever traveling through, I think it would be well worth taking a day or two to check out the sites! B)
