The Downtown you may not notice

Cincinnati Historic Architecture is everywhere. While people look at the 'shiny new buildings " there is a wealth of historic architecture downtown. "Almost every building has a historic marker that tells its story'
What is different about Cincinnati you ask? Well unlike a city like New Orleans , Savannah or Charleston, we do not have people downtown looking at them and as a result we lose out on what could be key source of revenue for the city, Heritage Tourism.
"In many other city's this would be a multi million dollar townhome"



There are no guided Historic walking tours, no carriages taking people about, no promotion at all. The buildings all have historic markers, most are well maintained, but no tourists. Whats up with that? And we wonder WHY there is a budget crisis?

"You do not see many vacant storefronts in Charleston or New Orleans, yet common here"
