Cincinnati – The City That Doesn't Go Anywhere!



Mike Looks At The Map - Episode 15

America's once-pivotal Queen City is seeing a resurgence, after decades of being strangled by highways and overtaken by newer metropolises--and it's got a strong case to be one of America's great cities once again. But can its successful parts grow outward to fit a growing 21st Century urban population?

  1. This is so INCREDIBLY uninformed. the art museum is in the middle of an amazing park… ugh too much to correct and I don't even love Cincinnati, just this isn't accurate.

  2. Over the Reigns turn up was amazing, it went from being the most dangerous neighborhood in the country to an amazing neighborhood. But they're is still some parts like the abandoned streets that need to be fixed.

  3. There's so many huge development projects underway right now that much of the city will be totally transformed in a couple years. It's already been happening. Also I recently bought a house on one of those hills and it has no trees, just a magnificent view

  4. Thinking about flying there with my crew for the 2026 world cup, just cant make up my mind. Should we book our flight to Cincinnati or Denver? Any advice guys?
    Thanks
    Sorry for my English.
    Cheers from Croatia ??

  8. Cincinnati is unique because we have a culture that mixes Midwestern, Southern, Eastern, Western & Appalachian altogether, it even shows in our Metropolitan Area. ?

  9. I lived there for 5 years,I had a hate love relationship with it,I did come back to the West.I miss the people,the city is hopeless.I don't see a bright future for it.

  10. “I was a medium person. I should get to spend eternity in a medium place. Like Cincinnati. Everybody who wasn't perfect but wasn't terrible should get to spend eternity in Cincinnati.”
