I was driving down the street and I got a sudden craving for Domino's Pizza and Paramount Brandy...

Unbelievable pics! Cincinnati truly is a city to be loved. I really wish I could walk around Walnut Hills in it's heyday.

Has anyone ever been to this Italian/Pizza joint?



What fabulous street is this?

That's what used to be ZZ's pizza...it was a wonderful place - packed with folks every night, lively carry-out business - they sold gormet pizzas.  It was gay-owned, great folks - I don't know what all they did for the community, but I saw them as a sponsor for the Cincinnati Opera on a couple occasions...one of the owners had Parkinson's, which progressed, and it just became too much for the other one to take care of him and run the restaurant.  I saw him pushing the other owner in a wheelchair in Hyde Park a few months ago, so I guess everyone's still getting along...very sad, big loss for the community, and we wish them all the best...

Cincinnati does a nice job of not knocking down old buildings.  I often wonder what some Cleveland streets would look like if we had not been so eager to take down many buildings and neighborhoods.

Auburn Terrace.

Checked that street out today and my suspicions were right, it rocked. I hate that little quasi-intersection though. It's always confusing to me.

Just kidding but damn these pictures are incredible. You basically captured everything that I like about Cincinnati. That picture in Clifton Heights is only a few streets over from me.

ColDayMan doesn't go to the A-1 or Bond Hill!?!?

Nonsense! Cincinnati is the architectural mecca of the world. One does not need travel to distant lands to realize this.
