For nearly 100 years, leading up to Prohibition, beer was a leading export and the breweries themselves were a major employer of Cincinnati. Although Cincinnati had previously been infamous for being the center of pork production in the US, beer eventually took the lead in driving Cincinnati’s economy. By 1890, Cincinnati was the 3rd largest beer producer in the country.

Bier
Several German breweries located in Over The Rhine produced this
beer. Over The Rhine is a 360-acre neighborhood located just north of
downtown Cincinnati. This neighborhood was the landing spot for most
immigrants making their way to Cincinnati, including the Germans, who
brought with them a serious work ethic, a strong cultural identity and a
thirst for bier. (traditional German spelling)
At one time Over The Rhine was home to more than 15 breweries. A
few of these elaborate structures still stand today. In fact, some lagering
tunnels and underground storage facilities that ran underground and
connected many buildings and facilities are still being rediscovered
today.
The many saloons that operated during this period were the nerve
center of social life for many of the residents of Over The Rhine. They
were also the target of several temperance movements and caused a
considerable amount of political unrest in the area.
A Cincy Tradition
With the onset of Prohibition in 1919, the many breweries in the re-
gion were shut down. A few were able to reopen in 1933 but changes
in the marketplace made it difficult for them to operate for long. Many
bigger operations such as Anheuser-Busch and Miller had changed the
game.
A few Cincinnati beer names you may rec-
ognize include: Hudepohl, Christian Moerlein,
Burger, Schoenling and Little Kings. Some
beers are even being brewed at updated and
restored facilities in their old neighborhood,
Over The Rhine. In addition to these traditional
breweries, several craft breweries have been
established in various locations throughout the
city.
Once one of America’s finestvineyards, a charming old-world

The Rhine
Believed to be the largest intact urban historic district in the United
States, Over the Rhine, also known as OTR among locals, was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It contains the largest collection
of Italianate architecture in the United States, and is an example of an intact
19th-century urban neighborhood. Its architectural significance has been
compared to the French Quarter in New Orleans, the historic districts of
Savannah, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina, and Greenwich Village in
New York City. This neighborhood was the nerve center of beer brewing
during the late 1800’s.
Today, Over The Rhine is home to a thriving arts community, many
unique boutique shops and exciting restaurants. The historic and
Over This neighborhood’s distinctive name comes from its builders and early residents, German immigrants of the mid-19th century. Many walked to work across bridges over the Miami and Erie Canal, which separated the area from downtown Cincinnati. The canal was nicknamed “the Rhine” in reference to the Rhine River in Germany, and the newly settled area north of the canal as “Over the Rhine.”
architecturally significant Cincinnati Music Hall, home to the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, is located here, as is the historic
Findlay Market. Washington Park has recently completed a major
renovation and is now one of the premier outdoor destinations in
the city.

Bockfest, and the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. The annual Cincinnati
Reds Opening Day Parade begins its journey through downtown
to Great American Ball Park at the Findlay Market.

Located directly across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati in Northern Kentucky, the community of Covington was established in 1814. With a constant influx of industry and inhabitants, Covington was a full-fledged city by the mid-1830’s. “The Point” at the confluence of the Licking and Ohio Rivers, was both the commercial and residential focus of the city for several years, home to various shipping facilities and industry along the rivers, taking full advantage of Covington’s superior river location.
The architecture and culture of this area can be traced back to the
city’s German heritage. One stunning example is the historic Covington-
Cincinnati suspension bridge, built by John A. Roebling between 1856
and 1867.
Covington’s most popular destination for visitors, MainStrasse Village,
is a thriving entertainment district with local restaurants integrated with a
few boutique shops along Main Street. The neighborhood is characterized
by its 6th Street promenade and the Goose Girl Fountain that often hosts
festivals and other entertaining events for both children and adults.

an 18-hole golf course, multiple playgrounds and picnic shelters, over
eight miles of mountain bike trails, an amphitheater, a fishing lake and a
spectacular view of downtown Cincinnati.
Covington is also home to a variety of attractions and festivals, including
the MainStrasse Village “Original” Goetta Fest, which is held each summer
to celebrate everything about Goetta.
Covington is easily accessible from downtown Cincinnati and
Newport. In fact, downtown Covington is a very short walk across the

the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Krohn Conservatory, Playhouse
in the Park and the historic Rookwood Pottery facility, which now

President John Quincy Adams delivered the dedication address
for the then new Cincinnati Observatory in 1843. The Cincinnati
Observatory owned the most powerful telescope of its kind when
it opened.
Mt. Adams is home to an important 150-year-old annual
pilgrimage known as “Praying the Steps” which is a tradition carried
out each year on Good Friday upon the steep, spiraling staircase
leading to the Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. You can climb these
stairs at any time, though, for a breathtaking and spectacular view of
downtown Cincinnati, Newport, Bellevue and Covington, KY. The
view is well worth the effort!

entertainment combined with the well kept Victorian homes and
spectacular views make Mt Adams a memorable way to spend the

Newport once had the reputation of "Sin City" due to its upscale
gambling casinos on Monmouth street, but Monmouth was also home to
many many men's stores, nice restaurants, and ice cream parlors. In the
1980s and 1990s, Newport began developing its riverfront and focusing
on "family friendly" tourism. In May 1999 the $40-million Newport

opened the following year.

You may not notice at first glance, but Cincinnati has a couple of very interesting things in common with ancient Rome. First, the city was settled in an area featuring seven hills, just as Rome was. Second, the name Cincinnati is derived from the very effective and efficient Roman dictator, Cincinnatus.
Quick history lesson - Cincinnatus was a great leader of Ancient Rome. He was a war hero and rose to power but gave it all up when he felt he could do no more good and retired to a farm. This example gave birth to The Society of The Cincinnati after the American Revolution, which preached the words of Cincin-natus, and eventually lent it’s name to the city.
The city of Cincinnati was settled in an area who’s topography includes several hills forming a crescent from the east bank of the Ohio River to the west
When inCincinnati...
bank and is often referred to as “The City of Seven Hills.” However, there are many more than seven. Trying to get a consistent list of
the “seven” hills proves to be most difficult, even amongst locals. No one can quite agree which ones make up the seven and which ones do not.
Depending on the source, any or all of the following “hills” should be included in the list: Mt. Airy, Mt. Adams, Mt. Echo, Mt. Healthy, Mt. Lookout, Mt. Storm, Mt. Washington, Walnut Hills, Price Hill (sometimes referred to as Mt. Harrison), Fairview Heights, Vine Street Hill, Fairmount and Mt. Hope.
There are several examples of art throughout the city that give a nod to the Roman connection. On Central Parkway (near Vine) is a mural of a Roman Colosseum with a statue of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the city’s namesake, at it’s base. This mural is the definition of epic, and you’ll find yourself wanting to step in for a photo...hard to do in a painting!
However, you can, pose with Lucies “Lucky” Quinctus Pigasus from “The Big Pig Gig.” You will find him at Sawyer Park near the other, more formal statue at Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus.

In 1896, C. Edward Richter and three brothers named Phillips opened the store known as The Richter & Phillips Company. They offered many different items to their customers with jewelry at the top of the list. They also offered their customers nationwide catalog shopping for various items including jewelry, giftware, luggage, purses, trophies, plaques, clocks, electrical appliances, sporting goods, musical instruments, dolls and toys.
Affected by the Great Depression of the 1930’s, Richter & Phillips
filed bankruptcy and the store was purchased by Frederick Fehr, a
travelling diamond salesman. Mr. Fehr eventually bought out all remaining
stockhlders of Richter & Phillips and it became a family owned business.
In 1946 Fred’s son, Fred Jr. began working at the store and still does to
this day! For the next few decades the store featured four watchmakers
on staff who could repair any watch. The store also had their own watch
brand, trademarked “Luzerne Watches.”
In 1982, Fred Jr’s son, Frederick Fehr III (Rick) joined the business and
took over all diamond and gemstone purchasing and sales. Arthur Fehr
(Art) joined the staff after becoming a Graduate Gemologist in the early
1990’s.
Today at The Richter & Phillips Company, you can find Rick and Art
Fehr busy at their desks or assisting customers in the storeroom and Fred
Fehr Jr. plugging away at the mounds of paperwork in his office a few days
a week.
The store features many brands of fine jewelry, wedding and
engagement rings, estate jewelry, watches and giftware. The experienced
and helpful staff at Richter & Phillips Co. will assist you in finding the
perfect item for any and every special occasion.

Rookwood Pottery
Rookwood Pottery is one of Cincinnati’s oldest companies and has contributed significantly to the city’s history and personality. World renowned for impeccable design and craftsmanship, Rookwood’s products have been installed in some of the country’s most celebrated buildings including: Carew Tower and Union Terminal in Cincinnati,
Chicago’s Monroe Building, The Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Grand Central Terminal as well as several subway stops in New York City.
Rookwood Pottery was founded by Cincinnatian Maria Longworth
Nichols and was the very first manufacturing company in the US founded
by a woman. After being inspired by the Centennial Exhibition in
Philadelphia in 1876, Maria asked her father, real estate baron and arts
patron Joseph Longworth, to fund her pottery venture. She named it
Rookwood after the Longworth family estate.
Maria hired a team of famous artists, talented art students and glaze
technicians, encouraging them to exchange ideas. Most importantly,
she encouraged her employees to be creative, to try new subjects, new
techniques and new mediums. Whatever inspired them to create fine art.
Rookwood Pottery quickly became a popular American art pottery,
designed to be at least as decorative as it is useful. Many Rookwood
pieces from this era can capture high prices at auction.
Today the company continues to use the same processes and recipes
that were originated in 1880. The Rookwood process is a synergy of
chemistry and art. Its glaze chemists and artists work closely together
to produce works of art that are as innovative as they are creative.
Rookwood’s proprietary clay and glaze formulas use the finest materials
available and are designed with the unique needs of its artists in mind.
From the first inspiration to the final product, the Rookwood process
centers on the artistic expertise of its craftsmen, artists and chemists.
The company continues to innovate from their Over-the-Rhine
studio here in Cincinnati. Its tiles installed in the 21C Museum Hotel
Cincinnati landed Rookwood on CNN’s list of the 10 world’s splashiest
hotel bathrooms.
Tours of the studio/showroom at 1920 Race Street are available
every Wednesday at 10:30 am. The Rookwood Pottery Company Store
located at 1209 Jackson Street in Over-the-Rhine also carries thousands
of pieces of Rookwood including its recently-released Rook stein and its
re-released Shiri Dragon vase by famed artist Kataro Shirayamadani.
Race Street hours are M-Sat 1-4; Jackson Street hours are M-S 10-6
and Sun 12-4.

Hyde ParkHyde Park has long been a magnate community
in Cincinnati for people from many walks of life wanting to live, go to school, shop, eat and play amongst abundant green spaces, parks, shops, restaurants and turn-of-the-last century homes set amongst lush 100+ year old flora and fauna. At less than 5 miles from downtown Cincinnati, Hyde Park offers those who choose to live and visit here terrific proximity to the center-city as well as easy access to other destinations including the Greater Cincinnati airport, Northern Kentucky and popular outlying suburbs. Think of Hyde Park as a picturesque one-of-a-kind “cityburb” and you’ve got the picture.
Hyde Park was incorporated in 1896. The founding of this com-munity was lead by a group of prosperous citizens who wanted to design a community that would preserve natural and architectural beauty and provide a peaceful place for Cincinnatian’s to call home. Little has changed from then to now as Hyde Parkers to this day enjoy pleasant and historic surroundings especially perfect for a lifestyle that includes walking to and from home to schools, places of worship, shopping, dining, parks and the like.
Idyllic Hyde Park Square is the heart of this community. The center of “The Square” (Erie Avenue between Edwards and Michigan) is defined by an island park in the middle of Erie Boulevard featuring lawns and landscaped areas as well as historic Kilgore Fountain. Residents and visitors alike find this spot great for sitting on a bench to enjoy a Graeter’s ice cream cone, relaxing after a great breakfast at The Echo, communing with neighbors (and their happy hounds) or just taking in the sights. Surround-ing The Square are over 100 specialty shops and boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops, banks, salons, real estate agencies and all fashion of independent business and merchant dedicated to offering one-of-a-kind merchandise and a unique patron experience.
Hyde Park Square also features many events that never cease to delight including the 49th annual Hyde Park Art Show which takes place Sunday October 4th from 10am to 5 pm. This is the largest juried show in the Midwest which features over 200 artists
from around the area and across the country. The Hyde Park Square Farmers’ Markets take place every Sunday/May 17 through October 25 from 9:30am to 1:30pm –on Erie Avenue between Edwards Road & Michigan Avenue. The Hyde Park Farm-ers Market features locally grown produce, prepared delectables, live music and more. The annual Hyde Park BLAST features children’s and adult running races, intermediate and national-ly-ranked cycling races and a spectacular street party with live mu-sic takes place Saturday June 27th from 8am to midnight. The annual Hyde Park Square Sidewalk Sale is August 15 from 11am-5pm where bargains can be had on uniquely wonderful merchandise. The annual Hyde Park Holiday Happening event with music, store sales, Santa arriving via Fire Engine, carolers, holiday card photo booth and more takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28th, from 10am-7pm.
Though many consider Hyde Park to be one of the most desirable, prestigious and safe neighborhoods to live in the city, it’s worth noting that there is a true diversity in Hyde Park housing ranging from multi-million-dollar river-view estates to mid-range family homes to starter homes as well as a wide variety of home and apartment rental opportunities. Homes in this area date from the late 1800’s to in-fill new homes. Most are circa early 20th cen-tury. Hyde Park also features wonderful condominium living on/around The Square including 3500 Michigan, 2801 Erie and 2770 Observatory (under construction) and The Regency and Madison House, both on Madison Avenue. For more information visit www.comey.com
Hyde Park is also home to some of Cincinnati’s finest academ-ically successful public and private schools in the region including Hyde Park Elementary, The Summit Country Day School, St. Mary School, Kilgour School (a Cincinnati Public School with a rating of “Academic Excellent with Distinction”) and others. While Singles, DINKS and Empty-Nesters alike all enjoy the Hyde Park neighbor-hood lifestyle, these and other schools in our community make family living here all the more worthwhile.

many as you can while you’re here. Anything

Jean Robert’s Table713 Vine StreetCincinnati, OH 45202513.621.4777www.jrtable.comCasual French bistro at the heart of downtown.
A popular local breakfast meat, Goetta can be traced back to the large number of German immi-grants who settled in the Cincinnati area. Typically a mixture of pork, beef, Steelcut oats and
spices, Goetta is traditionally prepared much like a sausage patty and is often served with eggs and toast.
Goetta has a rich, savory scent and is available in either spicy or traditional varieties. It can be cut into virtually any thickness or shape and its meaty flavor is complemented by the whole grain flavor of the oats. When perfectly prepared, Goetta is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dip in ketchup or dunk it in Maple syrup. Any way you like it, Goetta is one of the culinary contributions that Cincinnati can call its own.
Although Goetta’s exact history is somewhat debated, evidence points to its creation in the late 1800’s by German immigrants living in Cincinnati. However, some dispute this version of history and claim it was actually first made across the river from Cincinnati in Covington, Kentucky. Here, a family restaurant reportedly sold a combination of oatmeal and meat known as Irish Mush, but over time the product was reportedly copied and taken across the river, where it received the German moniker, Goetta. The controversy continues.
Many Cincinnati restaurants serve this as a local breakfast staple, burgers and even as a pizza topping! Look for Goetta burgers at many festivals and events throughout Cincinnati. You can also purchase it in the grocery store or online.
“Yes, a side of Goetta please...”

This legendary hotbed of funk and country music was located at
1540 Brewster Avenue, just north of downtown, in a former ice storage
building. Owner Syd Nathan started King Records to fill the country
music niche that was currently being ignored by the larger record labels
of the time, in 1943. Soon after, King Records began recording and
releasing R&B songs from many black artists, also being ignored by the
major labels.
King was essentially a one stop shop for making records. An artist
could record the song, make the masters, press the records and even
ship them out all in the same day. These records were usually pressed in
Did you know Cincinnati was home to one of the most influential record labels? Or that The Twist (Later made famous by Chubby Checker) was first recorded here? Some of James Brown’s most significant recordings were also recorded at King Studios!

small numbers making many of them rarities and collectors items.
The roster at King included some of the most influential artists of
all time. While there are way too many to list we’ll give you a few high-
lights. The roster of Country artists who recorded for King included
Reno & Smiley, David Allen Coe, Wayne Cochran, Minnie Pearl, Ralph
Willis and the Stanley Brothers.
Blues artists included Freddie King, Blind Blake, Earl Hooker and
Johnny “Guitar” Watson. King also dabbled in jazz with recordings by
Earl Bostic and Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, but the music that really
put King over the top was their R&B. Little Willie John, Roy Brown, Joe
Tex and Hank Ballard & the Midnighters were all very popular, but it
was James Brown who consistently topped the charts and kept things
moving at King. James Brown spent a significant amount of time in the
Cincinnati area while recording for King.
In 2008, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum placed a histor-
ical marker at the King Records site. The building is still standing as is
the Manse Hotel building nearby, which is where many famous black
entertainers stayed while it was in operation, including James Brown
and the roster of King recording artists.

SightseeingAdventures
Cincinnati offers one of the finest skylines and some of the most vibrant history to be found anywhere in the US. There are many ways in which you can experience both of these first hand while visiting us in the Queen City.
The Ohio River is a major part of Cincinnati’s history and success. You can feel the power of the Mighty Ohio first hand on a dining or sightseeing cruise on one of BB Riverboats majestic river boats. Their schedules are convenient and service is top notch.
For a much different perspective on Cincinnati’s lay of the land, Stratus Helicopters offer breathtaking views from the air. Cincinnati Magazine voted this the best way to see the city in 2011.
Before there was Vegas, there was Newport, KY. Newport shares connections to some of the most well known crime figures in history. America Legacy Tours offers a walking tour through Newport that leaves from Gangsters Dueling Piano Bar. The tour demonstrates many of the landmarks frequented by these notorious figures and explains how this little town helped give birth to the gaming industry.
Cincinnati was once one of the beer producing capitals in the US. American Legacy Tours also offers a tour of the early breweries in Over The Rhine. This fascinating look at beer production in the early 1900’s even takes you underground to explore the tunnels that were an intricate part of the brewing process.
If the outdoors strikes your fancy, the personality of the city can also be experienced on a bike or Segway. Bike rentals and tours of Eden Park, downtown, the waterfront or your own custom tour are offered by The Garage OTR.
Cincinnati has no shortage of arts or culture. The Taft Museum of Art is one of the finest small museums in America and a National Historic Landmark. It is home to an extensive art collection, Chinese porcelains and European decorative arts. You’ll find works by Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Sargent and the greatest Gothic ivory sculpture in America.
Let’s not forget the Cincinnati Reds were the first organized professional baseball team in the major league and have the oldest team hall of Fame, founded in 1958. As a tribute to that and all of the great players throughout the history of the team, the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum honors 71 members of various Reds teams.

The Wheat Ridge Amish Community is located just 50 miles east of Cincinnati and offers an opportunity to experience a lifestyle many of us wish we might have. Things move much slower here and the residents can be described as loving, patient, hard working, honest and Godly.
This community was stated in 1976 when seven families moved from
Milroy, Indiana to Adams County, OH. Now there are approximately
100 families, four churches and four schools all within twelve mile up
and down Wheat Ridge Rd. in West Union and Seaman, OH.
The Amish, known for their horse and buggies and solid crafts-
manship, have built an amazing number of successful businesses in this
enclave. On Saturdays in the Spring and Summer, you’ll find hundreds
of people perusing the various shops.
There are several unique events and parks to be experienced too.
Every Fall they host the Wheat Ridge Olde Thyme Herb Fair & Harvest
Celebration and in March the Amish Bird Symposium happens. The 67-
acre Chaparral Prairie State Nature Preserve offers the opportunity for a
leisurely hike amongst wildflowers and butterflies. Buzzard Ridge Rock is
also a very popular hiking destination.
Spend a night at the fabulous Murphin Ridge Inn. Enjoy their private
cabins, get a massage, take a hike in the woods, sit by the swimming
pool, enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in their rustic log cabin restau-
rant, sit by the fire pit that is lit every night.
You could then take a one mile drive over to Miller's Furniture,
Bakery & Bulk Food Stores and check out over 2 acres of furniture under
one roof. There you’ll also be able to enjoy the BEST glazed doughnuts
made fresh daily as you walk through the bulk food store that features
special food items that you can't find anywhere else.
Take a break from the pace of the big city and plan to make a week-
end trip to spend time in the beautiful hills of Adams County, in Amish
Country. Note that all Amish businesses are closed on Sundays.

The Great Outdoors
87
rom early spring through late fall, Cincinnati is home to a wide variety of outdoor activities, including golf, concerts, running and bike races, walks and festivals. Many of these are held in the city’s beautiful parks. A great opportunity to explore the great outdoors of Cincinnati!
The Great Outdoors
Many of these parks feature incredible
views of Cincinnati’s breathtaking skyline while
others offer exciting waterfront experiences
or the personality of one of our many unique
neighborhoods.
The heart of downtown Cincinnati is
connected to historic Covington and Newport,
Kentucky via the John A. Roebling Suspension
Bridge and the Purple People Bridge, allowing
pedestrians and bike riders to navigate across
the Ohio River.
The Purple People Bridge connects down-
town to Newport and the Roebling connects
to Covington. You’ll be surprised at the ease
with which you can travel across the river here.
There also many marinas that offer dining
and boating experiences that include the
mighty Ohio River.
Whatever your mood or activity you have
planned, there is an appropriate spot for you
in Cincinnati.

One Last Look... ;) The landmark fountain located in downtown’s Fountain Square is commonly known as the Tyler Davidson Fountain but is sometimes referred to as the “Genius of Water.”
Cincinnati businessman Henry Probasco dedicated
the famous fountain “To the People of Cincinnati” in
memory of his business partner and brother-in-law, Tyler
Davidson, on October 6, 1871. It is regarded as the city’s
unofficial symbol.
The statue was designed to rival the great fountains
of Europe and its water motif is a nod to the city’s historic
relationship with the Ohio River. The four figures around
the base were originally designed as drinking fountains
and can still be drunk from today.
Every year the fountain is turned on the Saturday
before Major League Baseball’s Opening Day in honor of
the Cincinnati Reds being the first organized professional
team. The fountain is closed in the fall as temperatures
decline to below freezing.
The fountain is remembered by many non-
Cincinnatians as it was seen as a part of the opening credits
for the famous television series “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
