Let's do something a little different this time.  No more "pretty nice" Cincinnati.  Screw that.  Let's bring on what people really want to see.  Ladies and Gentlemen...

Obscure Cincinnati Neighborhoods + Misc:


Northside
















South Cumminsville








Camp Washington






South Fairmount
















Lower Price Hill
















West End














Over-the-Rhine








Garfield Place










Downtown














East Price Hill








Sedamsville


























University of Cincinnati












Covington - SUBURB TIME!!!














Goodbye, Cincinnati

Man...I won't forget that creepy lady inside the top right window of that creepy looking house (far left).  The awkward laughing, the "who you is?" comment...eeek, good time though nonetheless  :laugh:

It still awfully beautiful...you know, the grittiest shot of the bunch?



...'cause I've been in the place, and [shudder]...

Very nicely done, as always...such an eye.  And say, where's that last shot from?

LOL!! The fact that she screamed out of a window that was like 5 inches tall...amazing. Like..where the hell is that noise coming from!?  The one in Price Hill with St. Lawrence church in the background came out really good. I think that's my favorite one. Great set  :-D

Honest, it was for the cigarette machine!  For a friend!  Really!

Actually, a small group of us stopped in there for a drink and to buy smokes, and my wife nixed the whole consuming-something-from-that-place idea once she looked around...yeah, it was an experience...

And can I get rib tips with that? Pig's Feet? Coupla white boys with cameras?

Wonderful! A lot of those shots really make me happy. The once-grand buildings boarded up and falling apart make me sad.
