E2 MONDAY, APRIL 10, 2006 THE ENQUIRERNEWS

f we could collapsetime and space tobring togethernewsworthy Cincin-natians, living ordead, to celebrateThe Enquirer’s 165years in the newsbusiness, it wouldmake for a supertal-ented, and raucous,

roomful:Steven Spielberg and Harriet Bee-

cher Stowe might be chatting upDr. Albert Sabin and the NakedCowboy. Over there, Ruth Lyonsand Dr. Daniel Drake might be cor-nering Ted Turner, Paul Brown andWilliam Howard Taft. In another cir-cle, Powel Crosley and Mary Emerymight be testing out a few newideas on John Roebling, MarianSpencer and William Procter. In yetanother, Rod Serling could be tryingout his “Twilight Zone” routine onJudge Deidre Hair, Barney Kroger,Oscar Robertson, Daniel CarterBeard and Neil Armstrong.

Don’t assume they’d have little tosay to one another. Besides callingCincinnati home (at one time or an-other) and having graced the pagesof The Enquirer, all have somethingelse in common. They were, or are,innovators.

WHERE WE’VE BEENPeople used to sizing up Cincin-

nati as a snapshot and not a moviemay not think of it as a source of in-novation. Even some of us at TheEnquirer may linger over Cincin-nati/Northern Kentucky shortcom-ings, or obsess about the glacialpace of projects such as the Banks,while forgetting feats such as theRoebling Suspension Bridge (in1866 the world’s longest, first trulymodern suspension bridge) or the$314 million “move” of Fort Wash-ington Way in 2000. Spare us thejokes about Cincinnati being 10years behind the times. The Enquir-er’s 165 years of publishing tell avery different story.

Not that it’s always easy to reportinnovation – or significance. An in-novator’s full record of accomplish-ment isn’t likely to manifest itself ina single day’s edition, any morethan one could have taken the fullmeasure of Cincinnati from the“Daily Cincinnati Enquirer’s” veryfirst printing on April 10, 1841.

Who among those shopping inyoung Barney Kroger’s Sixth Streetgrocery in the early 1880s expectedit to mushroom into a giant nationalsupermarket chain, with $60.6 bil-lion in sales in 2005? Or that a littleIvory Soap company started by twoimmigrants in 1837 would somedaymorph into a manufacturer of 17global billion-dollar brands? Justadd water and stir? Who knew littleStevie Spielberg growing up in Cin-cinnati and playing with his papa’smovie camera would someday di-rect worldwide hits such as “E.T.,”“Jurassic Park” and “Schindler’sList”? Of course some ingeniousCincinnatians such as WLW found-er Powel Crosley seemed almostborn entrepreneurial. With a coupleof his products, he was ahead of histime. In 1939, long before Toyota’sPrius or $3-a-gallon gas, the Cincin-nati industrialist was manufacturingthousands of fuel-miser minicarscalled (what else?) the Crosley.

Where Cincinnati has made 218trips around the sun, The Enquirerhas made 165. It, too, has been aninnovator in chronicling this region,even if it did take till 1898 beforenews photos showed up on its pag-es. One of the most gifted collabora-tions in the history of journalismmay have taken place in 1874 whenThe Enquirer’s Lafcadio Hearn re-ported on the Tanyard murder caseand artists Frank Duveneck andHenry Farny illustrated. The En-quirer was one of only six newspa-pers in 1903 that had the smarts toreport the Wright brothers’ firstflight at Kitty Hawk. Winsor McCay

began his career as an Enquirercomics illustrator and later originat-ed the animated movie cartoon. TheEnquirer’s editorial cartoonist, JimBorgman, not only has won the Pu-litzer and every other major prize inthe trade, but also co-produces hisown top comic strip, “Zits.”

Enquirer ownership also has tak-en some heady flights, includingwhen the empire-building McLeansadded the Washington Post to theirholdings in 1905. In 1952, the em-ployees got into the act and boughtThe Enquirer for $7.6 million. Itnever was “just a paper.” Its com-mercial printing operation, spun offin 1867, evolved into U.S. PlayingCard Co. Today, as part of the Gan-nett chain, The Enquirer’s Cincin-nati.Com Web site draws more than2.5 million online visitors a monthand more than 30 million pageviews. According to the Media Au-dit, Cincinnati.Com’s monthly reachin a local market is second only tothat of washingtonpost.com.

WHO GOT US HERETo help celebrate The Enquirer’s

165 inquisitive years, we asked read-ers to vote their online picks forCincinnati’s greatest cultural he-roes, most significant scientists,best presidents, top coaches, most

under-appreciated sports figure, andCincinnatians most likely to still befamous 165 years from now. “LarryFlynt?” You must be joking. Thou-sands “voted” on our starter lists, oradded their own nominees, some injest. One reader asked in youthfulexasperation: “Huh? Who AREthese people?”

Yes, Virginia, in 165 years cover-ing newsmakers, expect a few gen-eration gaps.

But you don’t need to be a fogeyto appreciate Bengals founder PaulBrown for pioneering practice films,the draw play, IQ tests for players,the radio helmet and other innova-tions. Or to marvel at Mary Emery’svision in the early 1920s for build-ing, from scratch, the greenbeltmodel town of Mariemont.

For “greatest moment in Cincin-nati sports history,” one reader vot-ed for the moment the Bengalshired head coach Marvin Lewis.The final score on that one isn’t inyet, but we’ll stay tuned.

Fertility specialist Dr. NeeOoChin got a maternity-ward full ofsurvey votes. He may have discov-ered a new way to stuff a ballot box– not only earning the gratitude ofchildbearing (at last) couples, butalso their offspring, who will growup revering the godlike doctor whohelped launch their lives.

WHERE WE’RE GOINGKids sent us fanciful sketches of

what they think Cincinnati will belike 165 years from now, in 2171. Ifthey’re right, expect plenty of hover-crafts and moving sidewalks. Someexpect disease will be wiped out.Cincinnati Children’s Hospital re-searcher Dr. Albert Sabin did hispart in the 1960s with his oral vac-cine that helped nearly eradicatethe crippling scourge of polio world-wide. The Enquirer never lavishedink on a more principled innovator.Sabin refused to patent his vaccine,so millions of children globallycould be saved. Just last month (anddecades of health care patents lat-er), the Supreme Court heard argu-ments on whether a patent for diag-nosing vitamin B12 deficiency isjustifiable.

Who’s to say which discoveriesThe Enquirer reports rolling out to-day of Children’s Hospital, the Uni-versity of Cincinnati or the GenomicResearch Institute may be the next“Sabin vaccine,” or the next Bena-dryl, which was invented here byDr. George Rieveschl? Or whatmight emerge from local dot-coms?

The Enquirer over the years hasreported on a seemingly inexhaust-ible series of Cincinnati “firsts”:

First community choral festival in North America

(Saengerfest, 1849).First paid professional horse-drawn

steam fire department (1853).First pro baseball team (1869).

First city weather bureau (1869).

First U.S. rabbinical school for Reform Judaism (Hebrew

Union College, 1875).

First large manufacturing operationrun by a woman (1880, Rookwood

Pottery, Maria Longworth Nichols Storer).

First city to own a railroad (1881).

World’s first concrete skyscraper(Ingalls Building, 1903).

Founding of Big Brothers of America (1903).

Founding of the Sons of DanielBoone (1905), which grew into

the Boy Scouts.

First university with co-op study-work programs (UC, 1906).

First air mail (hot-hair balloon,1835; plane, 1922).

First major city with a city managerform of government (1925).

First baseball night game (1935).

First heart-lung machine (1952).

First licensed public TV station (CET, 1954).

Procter & Gamble alone gener-ates more patents than some majorcities, and in recent years has beengiving patents away, to strategic re-search universities. Try countingthe companies started by formerProctoids.

You gotta love a city that can spinoff companies and patents – andoriginals such as Roy Rogers, PeteRose, Suzanne Farrell, Ted Turner,Rosemary Clooney, James Levine,the Cool Ghoul, the Rev. Fred Shut-tlesworth. What other city can claima TV talk-show host (Ruth Lyons)who wielded more power than amayor and a former mayor (JerrySpringer) who became a trash TVtalk-show host, plus had an operacomposed about him?

Cincinnati’s King Records spunout hits for more than a quarter cen-tury by the likes of James Brown,the Dominoes and Platters. The Na-tional Underground Railroad Free-dom Center still has a shot at be-coming a one-of-a-kind historicalmuseum/civic forum/arts center.

Whether The Enquirer covered agiant chain like Federated or a fake-fur maven like Donna Salyers, attor-ney Stan Chesley’s latest spin onclass-action law or Judge DeirdreHair’s pioneering of the region’sfirst drug court, it all added to theheritage of innovation. John JamesAudubon conceived his elephant fo-lio masterwork in Cincinnati.

William Howard Taft is still theonly president to later serve as chiefjustice of the United States. Insteadof cashing in on lecture fees or retir-ing to the golf course, Taft set astandard for distinguished serviceafter the Oval Office.

Tall Stacks was a top nationaltourist attraction right out of thedock. Like Riverfest, Oktoberfestand our other mega-celebrations,the riverboat spectacle (returningthis year) is steeped in Cincinnatihistory and inventiveness.

Our riverfronts, universities, gov-ernments and businesses have beenundergoing makeovers – witnessDaniel Libeskind’s futuristic 22-sto-ry condo tower rising in Covington– and so is this news and informa-tion company called The Enquirer.

Cincinnati’s fountain, the TylerDavidson Fountain, topped by theGenius of Water statue, is also onthe move again, and in the next 165years, it may take another stroll ortwo about the square. By 2171, itmay have evolved into some wild-eyed, virtual, multisensory soundand light show. But its story andthose of all the innovators, news-makers and originals who gravitatehere will still be great fun to tell.

A HEADY,RAUCOUS RIDE

HOW’D WE GET TO THIS POINT?

IBy Tony LangEnquirer staff writer

T ony Lang is an En-quirer editorialwriter and EditorialBoard member. Anative Cincinnatian,he remembers as a

schoolboy taking a class tripdowntown to see a re-release of“Gone with the Wind” at the AlbeeTheater, back when it was still aresplendent movie palace and notan architectural detail on thesouth wall of the Convention Cen-

ter. There were still a few Empresschili stands around town in thosedays, along with Crosley Field, a ful-ly loaded Coney Island and outdooropera performances at the Zoo,where singers gamely struggled tobe heard above obstreperous ducksand gibbons.

He’s a graduate of St. Xavier HighSchool and Xavier University, be-fore doing graduate work at Brown,which has attracted other Cincinna-tians, including Ted Turner. Turner

left Brown after three years withouta degree, but went on to become amulti-billionaire anyway. Lang sus-pects he must have taken differentcourses.

At The Enquirer, he has been aSunday magazine feature writer,acting magazine editor, lifestyle col-umnist, editorial page columnistand editorial writer. He remains in-corrigibly optimistic that this regionand The Enquirer will evolve by in-telligent design.

Enquirer file photo

Barney Kroger’s Sixth Street grocery started modestly in 1883.

If you can believe the“How We Work”portion of our 165thanniversary survey,Cincinnatians rankmoney above house-

hold products. Imagine that.Under “most important busi-nesses,” Fifth Third Bank leftProcter & Gamble and Kro-ger behind, at a distant sec-ond and third, respectively.Respondents turned this cat-egory into a banking love-fest.

More than anything else,responses show how themetro’s economic mix ischanging. Even a few yearsago, who would have expect-ed Toyota to rank a solid fifthon respondents’ Top Busi-nesses list? Newport Steelcollected a few votes, but it’sclear Cincinnati’s traditionalmanufacturing-heavy lineuphas undergone a major shiftboth in the jobs market andthe local mind-set.

Procter doesn’t even make

Ivory Soap anymore. The ac-celerating transition to aknowledge-based economymay have left a bit of a lag inpublic understanding ofwhat’s creating local wealthand who’s driving the localeconomy. Other than a fewexceptions, the “most usefulproducts” list looks decided-ly dated. Play-Doh, that age-less delight of children of allages, did manage to beat outPreparation H. Allergy suffer-ers tilted toward Dr. George

Rieveschl’s Benadryl. No-body mentioned Pampers?Carl Lindner, Buddy LaRosaand Richard Farmer werethe only living Cincinnatiansto crack the “greatest busi-ness leaders” list.

To the chemists, inven-tors, geneticists, architectsand other researchers labor-ing in labs or garages here,be consoled. It takes awhilefor the world to appreciatehow much their lives are en-riched. Some graduates

move on to make their for-tunes elsewhere. We maylose track of them or notknow their names, but devel-opment officers at Universityof Cincinnati or Xavier,Northern Kentucky Universi-ty or Miami sure don’t for-get.

Whether it’s architect Mi-chael Graves designing abuilding on UC’s campus oran entrepreneur such asCharlie Gallagher endowinga building on XU’s campus,

such graduates find ways tokeep on giving.

The business-leader rat-ings for Bob Castellini andMike Brown may rise or fallwith each season’s perform-ance of the Reds and Ben-gals, but some of Cincinnati’smost memorable productsand entrepreneurs may onlynow be aborning in this re-gion’s labs, dot-coms andother high-tech firms noteven on the public radar.

— Tony Lang

“Clearly, Ivory represented something more than an accident on Procter &Gamble’s part. The company was energetically looking for something new …"

From the P&G corporate history “Rising Tide,” explaining the company’s 1870s search for a product to replace candles

SOAP TO NUTS & BOLTS

The companies we keep

In many ways this is a companytown, or more accurately, atown of companies. Here are

the readers’ choices for the fivemost important to the city’s de-velopment and five that will bemost important to our future.

The current top companiesFifth Third Bank – Show us

the money. This bank’s fractionat-ed name, the result of a long-agomerger, strikes outsiders as odd.To those of us who live here it’sjust part of the way we do busi-ness. How much would we pro-test if they tried to change themath with some future merger?

Procter & Gamble – It came insecond but P&G is still the No. 1consumer-products company inthe world. It all started with two

guys making soap and candles,byproducts of all those pigs (see#138 Flying Pigs).

Kroger – Everybody who liveshere has shopped at Kroger, usu-ally at least once a week. Howmany other companies can claimthat?

Western Southern Life Insurance Co.

Toyota – Obviously not a localcompany, but they are growing onus.

Hometown favoritesAmerican Playing Card – Deal

us in. This company has been anintegral part of every game from GoFish to Texas Hold ’Em.

LeBlond Machine ToolsProcter & Gamble – Did we

mention they make just about any-thing you might need to clean yourbody or your house? And lots of

other things too.American Financial – Insur-

ance, publishing, banking, invest-ments.

Newport Steel

It came from here #11-13The three most important things

we make here and readers use ev-ery day:

Ivory Soap – It’s pure, it floatsand it won’t irritate your baby’sbottom if you use it to wash dia-pers.

Play-Doh – Is there a kid’s toychest that doesn’t have at leastone can of this colorful goo? Youcan pull it, stretch it, mold it, buildwith it and then roll it into a balland put it back in the can.

Fleischmann’s Yeast – Itmakes the dough rise.

The captains of industry #14-18These are the readers’ top five

business people:William Procter – The first half

of Cincinnati’s most famous part-nership. What would life have beenlike around here if he had takensecond billing? Would Cincinnati-ans routinely refer to G&P?

Carl Lindner – The genius be-hind American Financial, he is asfamous locally for the money hegives away as he is for the moneyhe makes.

Buddy LaRosa – We all havehis number hanging on the refriger-ator door and we probably call itmore often than we are willing toadmit. Truth be told, this is the guymost of us probably would preferto have dinner with (see #110-112).

Barney Kroger – Wonder whathe would think of a Super Kroger?

James Gamble – What’s Proc-ter wihout Gamble?

The “How WePlay” portionof The Enquir-er’s 165th an-niversary sur-vey turned out

heavily “rose-colored” andsports-muscled, to no one’ssurprise, although Cincinna-tians spend as much on thearts as they do on athletics.

For the “greatest sportsmoment ” – along with PeteRose’s record-breaking4,192nd hit, the Big Red Ma-chine’s World Series champi-onships, the 1990 wire-to-

wire season, the Bengals’1982 Freezer Bowl againstthe Chargers and the Univer-sity of Cincinnati’s back-to-back NCAA basketball cham-pionships in the early Sixties– some respondents veeredoff on a more thoughtful roadless taken. One proposed forhis greatest moment a gameat Crosley Field when JackieRobinson was taking fanabuse and Pee Wee Reesewalked over and put his armaround the young rookie. An-other respondent recalledRoyals great Jack Twyman

looking after stricken team-mate Maurice Stokes.

Still another picked for his“greatest moment” the in-stant when UC men’s basket-ball coach Bob Huggins wasfired.

Despite an occasional par-tisan slam, who could not beimpressed by the number ofextraordinary athletes andartists who have entertainedus here and become a per-manent part of local lore?Short memories do not favorthe old-timers, but readersdidn’t forget Reds standouts

such as Ted Kluszewski ormanager Bill McKechnie, orwhat might have been withanother once-young, injuredBengals quarterback, GregCook.

One of the more intriguingsets of survey responses re-sulted from the “most under-appreciated athlete” ques-tion. Out came a litany ofnames not often heard hereanymore: Ernie Lombardi,Gus Bell, Bob Wiesenhahn,Cesar Geronimo, Ed Jucker,Vada Pinson, Dave Concep-cion, Ron Oester. Such a

question inevitably stirs upstill-raw memories of tradesconsidered infamous, rang-ing from Paul O’Neill andFrank Robinson to more cur-rent ones such as Sean Ca-sey.

No one is ever going towin a bar bet over whetherCincinnati is becoming morea Bengals than a Reds town,but survey respondents leftno doubt whatever about thebest annual sporting event:Reds Opening Day clobberedthe competition.

Jimmy Buffett undoubted-

ly rates as the city’s favoritetroubadour in recent years,with the Beatles trailing for“greatest performances” everhere. But Music Hall alonecould bury venues in manyother cities with its enviablehistory of unforgettable con-certs, operas and May Festi-vals, not to mention all theother events it’s played hostto. It’s good to see, from the“Cincinnati plays” section,that we still haven’t totallywithdrawn into our electron-ic cocoons.

— Tony Lang

“It was Boomer who turned Riverfront Stadium into ‘The Jungle’ … Cincinnati sports has never seen a better natural-born leader.”

Enquirer sportswriter John Erardi, 2000

‘PETE! PETE! PETE!’

The best of sportsThis is a sports town and readers had lots of picks in these categories.

Three greatest sports moments: #19-21

Pete Rose’s hit number 4,192–setting the Major League record.People remember exactly what seatthey were in in old Riverfront Stadi-um when Rose connected with thepitch by San Diego’s Eric Show.They remember the game stopping,the endless ovation and the sud-denly very human Charlie Hustlehugging his son with tears runningdown his cheeks. If you were thereyou know why Pete Rose will al-ways be thought of as a hero by somany fans.

The 1975 Reds World SeriesChampionship over Boston RedSox – There were snow delays as theseries seemed to last forever. ButSparky Anderson and the Big RedMachine achieved immortalityamong Cincinnati sports legends.Then it was “Wait ‘til next year.”(See #159.)

The 1976 Reds World SeriesChampionship over the New YorkYankees – The Machine rolled on,smashing the mighty Yankees asthough they were Little Leaguers.

The greatest Reds: #22-33We asked for the eight greatest

Reds by position, plus the fourgreatest Reds pitchers. The Big RedMachine dominated the voting, buta few others managed to crack thelineup. You canargue this oneforever.

All-time greatest Reds team: #34

1975 – Followed closely by the1976 team, followed closely by the

1990 team. Obviously, winning theWorld Series is a primary qualifica-tion for this honor among fans whocompleted the survey. (See #20,#21 and #159.)

Three greatest athletes fromCincinnati: #35-37

Oscar Robertson – No questionabout the greatness of any of thesepicks, but it is interesting to notethat despite being ranked first in

this category, the“Big O” also camein No. 1 under“most under ap-preciated athlete.Go figure. (See#46.)

Pete Rose – Theultimate hometownboy. (See#19.)

Ken Griffey Jr. –Think about thegreat athletesreaders didn’t putin the top three –Roger Staubach,Dave Parker, TonyTrabert and on and

The greatest Bengals quarterback: #38

Boomer Esiason – Outgoing, boy-ish, charming, still calls GreaterCincinnati home and now a fixturein the sports broadcasting world.Most people don’t remember thathis first name is really “Norman.”Boomer just edged out Ken Ander-son, the self-effacing gentlemanwith the great passing arm andgeneral’s vision of the field whomEsiason succeeded. Third in thesurvey was Carson Palmer, obvious-

E6 MONDAY, APRIL 10, 2006 THE ENQUIRER THE ENQUIRER MONDAY, APRIL 10, 2006 E7

Aspecial thanks isdue our surveyrespondents – inthe run-up toThe Enquirer’s165th birthday –

for reminding us how surpris-ingly and often hilariously dif-ficult it is to pin down who weare and what makes this Cin-cinnati/Northern Kentuckypiece of the planet special. Weasked you to help us sortthrough The Enquirer’s 165years of covering this regionand select our best and bright-est, our most notorious andmost notable. This admittedlyunscientific sample must beconsidered, like our history,very much a work in progress,

but the results are nonethe-less fascinating and the sur-vey well worth repeating atsome later date.

Hollywood producer-direc-tor Steven Spielberg might besurprised to hear he was thetop pick for current or formerCincinnatians, living or dead,who most shaped U.S. cul-ture. CNN founder Ted Turn-er, who spent his earliestyears here in Avondale andlater became the largest pri-vate landowner in the U.S.,came in second on the survey.The range of responses tooksome sharp culture-bendingswings, with nominations ofsingers Rosemary Clooney,Doris Day, Andy Williams and

singing cowboy Roy Rogers,ballerina Suzanne Farrell andmaestro James Levine, poetNikki Giovanni and funk mu-sician Bootsy Collins. For bet-ter or worse, Jerry Springer al-so made the listings.

For most important scien-tist, fertility specialist Dr. Nee-Oo Chin even beat out polio-conqueror Dr. Albert Sabin.Dr. Daniel Drake, a whirlwindfounder of medical schoolsand other Cincinnati institu-tions, placed fourth. Medicallaser pioneer Dr. Leon Gold-man drew some votes.

One of the more surprisingcategories was the personCincinnatians would most liketo invite to dinner. Neil Arm-

strong took top spot, no doubtthanks to avid autograph-seekers. Carl Lindner Jr.came in second, ahead of PeteRose, Marge Schott and Jus-tice Potter Stewart. Even star-crossed Gen. Arthur St. Clairgot some votes. Survey re-spondents wanted to hearhow he would explain his ca-sualty counts. Respondents al-most unfailingly came up withcreative additions of their ownfor each survey question, andthis dinner date query was noexception. Shawnee chief Te-cumseh and bluesman Big EdThompson got some votes.

Armstrong also had theright stuff to ace the competi-tion for likeliest to be still fa-

mous 165 years from now,beating out Pete Rose, Hamil-ton County Sheriff SimonLeis, Ruth Lyons and Oscar“Big O” Robertson. Some ex-pect Cardinal Joseph Bernar-din to make the year 2171 cutby qualifying for sainthood.

Cincinnati’s perennial splitbetween the humorous andthe humorless showed upagain in our survey. Undermost notorious Cincinnatian,some nominated former Ham-ilton County commissionerBob Bedinghaus. Othersasked: “Are you trying to befunny?” Nominations for mostnotable building ranged fromCovington’s Basilica to theSkyline chili parlor at Clifton

and Ludlow.It’s clear Cincinnatians have

an unhealthy fascination withthe landfill Mount Rumpke(“A tourist attraction in themaking!”). But at least MountAdams handily beat out thedump for Cincinnati’s favoritehill. For “favorite statue,” onerespondent nominated “theguy strangling a duck in EdenPark.” (It’s actually an Asianfisherman using a diving birdthat brings up small fish butcan’t swallow them.)

But that’s part of the charmof this town: Just when youthink you know it cold, youfind there’s so much more tolearn.

— Tony Lang

“I couldn’t have my boys growing up thinking everyone else could do something they couldn’t ... (that) they are less than other children.”

Marian Spencer, Cincinnati’s first African-American councilwoman, on what drove her to integrate Coney Island in 1952

“We got up one morning, my Dad and me in Cincinnati, and he says, ‘Son, let’s quit our jobs and go to California.’ I says, ‘Well, that’s great.’”

Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys

Ulysses S. Grant – A bettergeneral than a president. Wrote agreat autobiography.

William Henry Harrison – “Tip-pecanoe and Tyler Too” was one ofthe first presidential campaign slo-gans. Alas, the old Indian fightercaught cold during his inauguraland died after just a month in of-fice.

James Garfield – Popular andbright, he died by assassination.

Benjamin Harrison – Not as

famous as his Grandpa Bill, he wasa Civil War general and served oneterm between the two of GroverCleveland.

Rutherford B. HayesJames Buchanan – Nominated

in a convention here, but actuallyfrom Pennsylvania.

A great dinner party: #110-112Here are three famous Cincinna-

tians you’d most like to have dinnerwith in a private dining room at theMaisonette if the Maisonette werestill serving and the Enquirer werebuying. But would they have any-thing to say to each other?:

Neil Armstrong – Almost twiceas many votes as the nearest table-mate. (See #113.)

Carl Lindner – A huge name infinance. (See #15.)

Pete Rose – Hey Pete! How’bout them Reds? (See #19 and#26.)

Scandalously famous: #123-125There’s famous, and then there

is notorious.Readers’ top three in the latter

category are:Jerry Springer – The former

mayor just nosed out the publisherof Hustler.

Larry Flynt – Out-hustled byJerry.

Marge Schott – Colorful as shewas, she was too nice to be in thiscrowd. (See #117.)

Wish they were from somewhere else: #126-128

Too bad to be notorious, thesethree are just plain evil:

Charles Manson – Raised herebut did his deeds elsewhere.

Donald Harvey – The Angel ofDeath hospital serial killer.

You’ll want to see these places: #129-133

Readers point to the five mostdistinctive buildings in town. Theyleft out anything modern.

Union Terminal – Art Deco trainstation now a museum.

artificial ski slope.Krohn Conservatory – The

greatest of glass houses.Carew Tower – The tallest

building in town. Go to the observa-tion deck on top for the best view intown.

The Elephant House at theCincinnati Zoo – Our own Taj Ma-hal.

Monuments to ingenuity: #134-138

Not exactly buildings, but fivestructures readers are most proudto point out:

Roebling Suspension Bridge –Just wait to see what color they aregoing to paint it. This was the modelfor the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tyler Davidson Fountain – Thefountain on Fountain Square, it wasgiven to the city so thirsty peoplewould have a place downtown toget a drink.

Mount Adams Incline – Wish itwere still there. We should bring allthe Inclines back.

The Cincinnati subway system– Never used, but a silent reminderof public waste and corruption. Italso makes a nifty bat cave underCentral Parkway.

The Flying Pigs pillars at Bi-centennial Commons – This com-memoration of our Porkopolis heri-tage caused a huge controversywhen unveiled almost 20 yearsago. Critics seemed to want depic-tions that were more smiling PigglyWigglies. What they got were pan-icked swine who appeared to bewinging it toward heaven one stepahead of the barbecue spit. Alas,the city came to love these porkers,so much so that flying pigs have be-come Cincinnati’s unofficial mas-cots.

Statuesque imagery: #139-143

The five top artistic monuments,according to readers:

Genius of Water – The lady onthe fountain.

The Old Lefthander down atGreat American Ball Park – JoeNuxhall forever! Bob Castellini wasright to let him keep broadcasting.

Cincinnatus at BicentennialCommons – Now he was a strongmayor.

Romulus and Remus nursingfrom the wolf at Mount AdamsOverlook.

The beardless Lincoln in LytlePark – Pensive, serene, youthful.

The great outdoors: #144-146We love our green space. These

are readers’ three favorite parks:Eden Park – Once a vineyard,

now the home of the Playhouse andCincinnati Art Museum and greatviews.

Sharon Woods – SharonWoods Village is a great place tosee Cincinnati as it was.

Bicentennial Commons –Check out the pigs and the floodmarker. (See #138 and #154.)

Which seven hills? #147-153This is a city of seven hills – actu-

ally more like 17, but here are read-ers’ favorite seven:

Mount Adams – Home ofEden Park (See #144.)

Price Hill – The West Side.Mount AuburnWalnut Hills – No fair, this is

more than one hill.Clifton Heights – Another mul-

tiple.Mount Healthy – People

moved to this suburb to escape acholera epidemic.

Mount Rumpke – Come on,folks. This mountain is a manmadepile of trash, but it still came in atNo. 7.

In 165 trips aroundthe sun, The Enquir-er has been report-ing and recordinghow we cope in waysgreat and small –

from grave calamities to themost harmless of guilty plea-sures. Survey respondentsvoted overwhelmingly for the1937 flood as our greatest ca-lamity – not the departure ofBob Huggins for Kansas.

The historians among us

did not overlook early cata-clysms, such as the 1884Courthouse riot that reduceda significant portion of Cin-cinnati’s earliest written re-cords to toast. One of thecrowd-control devices usedto disperse an impassionedmob was a Gatling gun.Imagine the public reaction ifpolice resorted to such aweapon today.

In this city of fests, thesummer-closing celebration

of Riverfest still ranks asking, at least among surveyrespondents. Cincinnati’s Bi-centennial celebration ran-ked a strong second. TheBeast was rated best rollercoaster, Hudepohl the bestlocal beer, and brats beatmetts with almost twice asmany votes. “Dark-horse”Dixie chili beat the rest of thefield, but among other ques-tions that arise from that re-markable vote of confidence,

we wonder how many Cincin-nati/Northern Kentuckiansare still alive who rememberEmpress chili.

Our celebratory surveyhardly scratched the surfaceat suggesting the multitudeof ways we “cope” as a com-munity, besides dinner-and-a-movie, the occasional BluesFest, tennis Masters tourneyor some group therapy at theneighborhood bar. The op-tions are almost as varied as

our ancestry. Some of usgravitate to bookstores likeJoseph-Beth, or the public li-brary, the Kentucky Speed-way, video-game arcades,horse tracks, skate parks, theclub scene, bingo halls orchurch fests. Our churches,mosques and temples arestill as numerous as whenMrs. Trollope or CharlesDickens visited here, al-though the names on thefront doors may have

changed, several times over.We cope at our rec centers

or glass-strewn corner lots,our spas or yoga classes, andsome of us are still dreamingup new diversions, like walk-ing across the Ohio River ontop of the Purple PeopleBridge. It’s that kind of fer-ment and forward motionthat keeps The Enquirer en-gaged in telling this region’sstories.

— Tony Lang

“Before the 1937 flood was finished, more than 100,000 people in GreaterCincinnati had been driven from their homes…”

Former Enquirer editor Luke Feck, in his book “Yesterday’s Cincinnati”

WE CRY, REBUILD, CELEBRATE

The three biggest disasters we’ve survived: #154-156The 1937 flood – Check out the high-water marks on St. Rose Church in the East End. This is a river town and we have been dealing with the

river’s rise every year since Benjamin Stites and his band put ashore near the mouth of the Little Miami 218 years ago. Sometimes the river getsso high the towboats have trouble getting under the bridges. There are families in some of our low-lying neighborhoods who routinely move theirfurniture to the second floor every spring. But 1937 was a record. Third Street was awash. Oil fires burned on the surface of Mill Creek. A disasterto remember.

The 1974 tornadoes – Wind is our other big natural enemy here-abouts. If you ever see a funnel cloud, don’t stand there gaping. Headfor the basement. In April 1974, a group of twisters cut through the WestSide and up through Butler and Warren counties. Xenia was flattened.The winds left shattered buildings and broken lives for miles around.

The 1997 flood – If you livedin Falmouth, Ky., or Cincinnati’sEast End, this one was huge. Ifyou were old enough to remem-ber 1937 you told everybody overand over what a really big floodwas like.

That was some party – Cincinnati’s biggest celebrations: #157-159

Riverfest any year – Everyyear the crowds and the fireworksseem to get bigger. When thefest was marred by drunken row-diness, a lot of the local jurisdic-tions restricted or eliminated al-cohol sales. The crowds gotcalmer and bigger. If you have abalcony or deck with a view ofthe river, you will discover youhave lots of friends you nevereven heard of. Riverfest, Cincin-nati’s annual Labor Day Weekendend-of-summer salute, got fourtimes the votes of VE Day for thecity’s biggest celebration.

Cincinnati Bicentennial andbirth of Tall Stacks – After 200years, Cincinnati rediscovered itsriverboat heritage in 1988. Theconvergence of paddle wheelersat the public landing has been amuch-anticipated periodic cele-bration ever since.

The 1975 World Series – Peo-ple went wild when the Reds de-feated Boston. They didn’t carethat the weather had turned win-try. They mobbed FountainSquare. Nobody could remembersuch a victory. Then, in 1976,they won the Series again. (See#20 and #21.)

Greater Cincinnati’s greatestroller coaster: #160

The Beast – It’s wooden, itroars, it rattles, it’s the star of theshow at Kings Island and it isway better than all the rest. TheShooting Star that once gracedConey Island was second place,and the loop-de-loop Vortex atKings Island also got plenty ofvotes. But nothing beats the thrillof the Beast.

The best two local brews: #161-162

Hudepohl – Hands down andbottoms up, this was the most

popular. Ballpark vendors usedto shout: “Get moody with Hu-dy!”

Wiedemann – A faded memoryfrom Northern Kentucky.

The best of the wurst –brats or metts: #163

Brats – by nearly 2-1. There issomething that is just more satis-fying about these paler sausages,plumped on a bun, slatheredwith hot mustard and smotheredin kraut.

Yes, this is chili and your favorite is: #164

Dixie – over Skyline by almost3-1. People from Texas and otherfar-off lands bemoan its sweet-ness and lack of fire, but Cincin-nati chili is an acquired tastewith its cosmic blend of choco-late and cinnamon. Don’t stopwith a three-way; go all the waywith a five-way and then shakeon the hot sauce. Don’t forget toask for a bib. Your necktie willthank you.

There are no bad flavors ofGraeter’s ice cream, but yourfavorite is: #165

Double chocolate chip, clear-ly, followed by all the “others.”

THINGS YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT US LEAVING OFF THE SURVEYWe didn’t allow for any comparative voting on neighborhoods, and we somehow forgot to put in a single mention of goetta. Oh well, maybe for ournext celebration.

Planners and politicians sayCincinnati is hemorrhagingyoung people – the best andbrightest jetting to NewYork, Chicago and San

Francisco as they find opportuni-ties in those cities of lights andexcitement. Our downtownstreets are empty, lacking theyouth and vitality that larger cit-ies boast. But like an impression-istic painting, you may need tochange your focus to clearly seethis city, which is so often misun-

derstood.If you do, you’ll find young

professionals relaxing after along work week in the bars ofMount Adams, the scenic view asenticing as the drinks; you’ll hearthe college kids talking politicsin an off-beat artistic cafe in Clif-

ton; you’ll see the teens rolling apoor round at a bowling alley,eating bad food and sharinglaughs.

Think you can ignore this de-mographic? Try, and sooner orlater you’ll be hit with theirpoints of view as they take over

the controls and start driving to-ward the future. And what a fu-ture.

We asked a variety of schoolchildren to write essays on whatCincinnati will be like 165 yearsfrom now. As the following sam-plings show, life will certainly bedifferent.

Let’s hope that future is builton the legs of their enthusiasmand the unbridled dreams that,yes, anything can be done.

— Yasmine Noujaim

And now we look to the next 165 years

As class ends, all ofthe sleek, white lap-tops are gentlyclosed, then slid intocomputer cases.

Luckily, students no longerneed heavy textbooks and un-wieldy binders. Cincinnati wasthe first to eliminate paper atschool and work. Using com-puters instead has greatly savedtrees and is more environmen-tally friendly. Ohio took a cuefrom the Australians and forseveral decades we have beenconserving energy, protectingthe land and wildlife, and work-ing toward clean air and water.

Organic air dryers dryclothes five times faster, but useonly a fifth of the energy com-pared to the early ’00s. Also,clotheslines are used wheneverpossible. Small switches onelectrical outlets provide elec-tricity when needed. People fi-nally realized the importance offossil fuels being non-renewableand also, our country was tiredof being dependent on other

countries. So now the UnitedStates uses renewable energysources. We use geothermal en-ergy, wind energy, and someenergy from the OTEC system.In Cincinnati, most of our ener-gy comes from solar panels, butwe also use hydroelectric ener-gy from a dam built in theclean, clear, pollutant-free OhioRiver.

However, the growing indus-try of brain-wave energy has aplace here in Cincinnati. Thistype of energy was discoveredand harnessed by an inventorfrom Cincinnati named Benja-min Bray. When someonethinks, the brain waves also canbe used as energy to, for exam-ple, power a student’s comput-er. In the old days, this energywas harnessed by wearing aspecial hat, called a ThinkingCap, but these were quite un-comfortable, so now harmlessmicrochips are implanted intopeople’s skulls. It is still quitefreaky to see someone stare at amicrowave and it suddenly turn

on solely from the person’sbrainwaves produced by think-ing about wanting their food tobe hot.

Cincinnatians began to ques-tion so much useless retail. Or-ganic food became the main di-et of Ohioans. McDonald’s wentout of business in 2024 and ev-erything went downhill fromthere for the fast-food industry.Parks for exercise replaced for-mer retail lots. So many parkswere added in Ohio, the statebecame famous for its awesomeparks and became a huge tour-ist attraction.

Cincinnati has greatly anddramatically changed for thebetter. Actually, this year, 2171,Cincinnati won the Best City inAmerica award, for the 43rdtime. Continuing on this path,Cincinnati could become theGarden of Eden.

A CLEAN ENVIRONMENTRUN BY BRAIN WAVES

THE FUTURE

Utopia. Paradise.Sanctuary. Thesun shines likethe gates of heav-en over towering

edifices that could dwarf theEmpire State Building withease. Mouse-silent trains slideover silver streams weavingthroughout the shimmering me-tropolis. The Ohio River hasbeen purged; one can seestraight down to the bed of theriver through the crystal-clearwaters.

Welcome to Cincinnati in theyear 2171. The metal Garden ofEden sits over a glistening OhioRiver, free of waste and pollu-tion. Fossil fuels have been tornfrom society’s grasp, and now a

revolutionary source of energy,the plant life, clears the air ofabsolutely any fumes and pres-ents back to the city fresh oxy-gen. The only sounds ringingthrough the bustling Cincinnatiare those of the thousands ofpeople on stacks of silver hang-ing sidewalks. The birds chirpall around. Commercial space-craft lift off by the second.

But paradise only goes as faras the grand walls around thecity. Civilization otherwise out-side the protection of the city isno more. Having invested ev-erything in the brilliance of thecities such as Cincinnati, all be-yond has become a barrenwasteland. Devoid of trees, de-void of plants, and devoid of liv-

ing beings, everything outsidethe great cities of America hasbeen reduced to death and suf-fering. The city’s grand lightsare no more than sparks in thethick darkness of a foggy au-tumn night.

Yet despite this, the city ofCincinnati has grown so gargan-tuan that almost every person ofthe Tristate has been able tosafely make a life in the metrop-olis. The sanctuary of the city’scrimeless, grimeless streets andwinding walkways provide forthe constant peace of mind thathumanity dreams of. Even thenights in the alleys do not in-spire fear to civilians. Not a sin-gle person is left without ahome – the only people on the

streets are happy ones. Not asingle person has been home-less for what feels like an eterni-ty.

The pride and joy of the cityhas been a beacon of hope forthe land. It is the Aronoff – thegrand theater of the arts. Themost classic, original and bril-liant performances have trav-eled to Cincinnati’s greatest the-ater, be it “Phantom of theOpera,” “Wicked,” or “Rent.”

Cincinnati: Utopia. Paradise.Sanctuary.

CRIMELESS, GRIMELESS STREETS

As a young girl glidesdown what used to beButtermilk Pike onher hover board, shereflects on the chang-

es in the world over the last 165years. The path she takes used tobe a congested highway, buthighways are no longer neededas people travel either by air us-ing their hovercrafts for short dis-tances and elaborate space vehi-cles for longer commutes.Vacations require space travel tovarious exotic locations, but Ohioboasts Cloonania and Skyland, anoutlandish theme park.

She is not flying to or fromschool, but rather to work. Herjob is in a technology center float-ing above the “street.” She hascompleted all her necessary

schooling, including college andlaw school, by the age of thirteen.She speaks four languages: En-glish, Marsonian, two computer-generated languages and hasread every modern novel. Her ed-ucational experience was createdspecifically for her learning styleand abilities. Her hologramteacher was programmed to lec-ture in a manner easily under-stood. Modern electronics maderetaining knowledge a matter ofrecording on a tiny device placedin one’s brain. Books as theywere formerly known are obso-lete.

She never left her house forschool, but she did go to playgroups to meet kids her age.These children grew up together,enjoyed the same games and

were connected throughout theirentire childhoods based on whatthey were destined for in the fu-ture. She never had to make a de-cision about friends or worry ifshe would be accepted in highschool. She does not worry aboutwhat college she will attend orwhether she can afford it. Every-one has the same opportunity fora college education.

The year is 2171 and over thelast century and a half NorthernKentucky has changed drastical-ly. The area has an abundance ofgigantic skyscrapers that reachabove the clouds. The simplesmall-town life of the past hasbeen replaced with a bustling me-tropolis of flying machines androbotic engineers that maintainthe city. The girl’s history studies

have taught her the effects of rac-ism and poverty. She and all thepeople around her believe that allmen truly “are created equal” andlead their lives with cultural di-versity in mind. Technological ad-vances in agriculture mean thatthere is abundant food for all peo-ple. Hunger has been eliminatedfrom Northern Kentucky and thecivilized world at large. Medicaladvances guarantee she will liveto be at least 150 and will enjoy ahealthy life. The complexity ofmachinery is hidden behind thefaçade of simplicity.

Today, Cincinnati andNorthern Kentuckyare flourishing indus-trial areas as well asgreat places to live.

This will continue into the futurefor hundreds of years. In the year2171, the Cincinnati area is goingto be very technologically ad-vanced. We currently have manyopportunities for jobs and educa-tion. The opportunities will sky-rocket and we will be the largest

city for employment.The entire skyline that is cur-

rently in view in the downtown ar-ea will be non-existent. It will bereplaced by newer building mate-rials that are resistant to planecrashes and other threats. Ourschools will operate on a year-round schedule. This will be thestandard and there will be ex-treme amounts of security. Therewill be no fights or violence in theschools anymore. This will make

for a better learning environment. Life in this time will be a lot

easier. There will be robots totake care of your lawn, trash, andcare. You will wake up in themorning and your breakfast willbe made and then you will be tak-en to work or school in a roboticcar. I only wish I would bearound for those times.
