Glendale (pop: 2,188) is one of Cincinnati's oldest and most beautiful suburbs. The first of the Romantic suburbs on the 1850's (yes, even older than Riverside, Illinois) with the curvilinear street layout following the genteel hills, Glendale developed along a rail line connecting it to downtown Cincinnati. The city is marked by a lovely town square with quaint shops and restaurants along with gorgeous 19th-century mansions and pocket parks. It, along with Oakwood, Shaker Heights, and Mariemont, is one of Ohio's best Romantic suburbs (well, okay, the first).
