Intros and a Look Around OTR

Welcome!

I'm Ethan, and I currently attend the University of Cincinnati. I've gotten to explore this great city throughout my stay here and I'm finally taking the time to put up a blog with some of my photos and thoughts about Cincinnati. My posts won't necessarily be chronological, but they'll hopefully give a feel of some of the exciting neighborhoods and events that the Queen City has to offer.

I think that a look at Over-the-Rhine is a fitting place to start. The energy that this neighborhood has been developing is nothing short of infectious, and it's been great to watch it evolve and continue to grow over the years. It really is on track to becoming the most beautiful and effective mixed-use neighborhoods in Ohio. Here's hoping that this momentum doesn't slow down come December and the mayorship changes hands.









 Some of this has probably been fixed up since I was last down there.







Some decent-looking infill.

I think that's a good start for today. As I dig through my photos more and work on my blogging skills, I'll improve my commentary and express my thoughts about some of what I'm showing off. You never know what might show up next so stick around!

Let's Give this a Shot

To the folks who may one day stumble across this blog, welcome! I'll be posting various photos from around the Queen City to hopefully paint a picture of this town as I see it. It's exciting times in Cincinnati right now, and she's got a lot of potential.
