Winning over fans

How's Cincy itself? I used to have business trips about 15 years ago for a theatre chain (operating under USA theatres, IIRC, belonged to Loews) and visited a number of suburbs, including Covington (I think the theatre was called the Florence). We had one downtown location that closed quickly, in the "Skywalk" and I remember thinking the area was a bit sleezy. The locations nearer the [beltway?] were nicer. I think the last theatre we had before we left the area was called the Kenmore??

The city really doesn't have much night life. There is a brand new casino that should inject some life but it's kind of off by itself in a questionable area . Typical of the city planners who can't help but screw things up.
Northern KY utilizes the riverfront (upscale restaurants, theaters, and aquarium and shopping) much better than Cincy and is a lot more fun to visit. The 275 loop is much more vibrant than the city and Kenwood (not Kenmore) is one of the more affluent areas.
Overall, it's a great place to raise a family. Safe, good schools and reasonable housing and climate.

Wonderful story Uconnrick !
That is the reason I became a believer in '95 !
Now my brothers, mother, and my wife follow bigtime.

Those young ladies DO carry themselves with class, and play the best basketball in the world.
Men or women !

Great American Ballpark seemed isolated to me...

the 'Natti is Cincinatti, just as Louisville is "the 'Ville". I guess that means that Chattanooga is "the 'Ooga".

Let's not carry this too far. Locals in Columbus, Birmingham, Las Vegas or Anchorage might find it annoying or awkward to explain how they live on the 'Bus, in the 'Ham, on the 'Gas or in a 'Rage.

Good work. I started glancing through city names to see what I could fine, but didn't come close to your finds.

Years ago, Massachusetts had an unpopular governor (King). The running gag was that two municipalities were named for him even as he sat in the State House: Marblehead and Athol.

It's along the riverfront along with the Underground Railroad Museum, Paul Brown Stadium and US Bank Arena. Sounds great doesn't it and it would be if there was anything else (restaurants or shopping) right in the area, unfortunately, there's no concentration of anything in the area. You have to go across the river or walk 6-10 blocks to find good food. Most people don't and the city empties out after games or concerts. It's a shame.

In Ohio. SW corner. Ohio/Kentucky border. Just north of Covington, KY.

L.A. is Lower Alabama. In some parts of the country.
