I understand I need to experience it for myself, but whew, this thread sure makes Cincinnati look like one very big intimidating city to someone not from there.
It might take you some time to become acclimated, but you won't hate it. I moved from Cleveland to Cincinnati many, many moons ago, and after I learned to laugh about the "You're not from around here, are you?" business -- not to mention the pitying looks I got from people when I told them I was from Cleveland, even though 99 percent of the people giving me those pitying looks had ever been to Cleveland -- I grew to love the place.

Lol I never said I wouldn't move there because of the comments, I said BECAUSE of the comments it makes it SEEM LIKE I wouldn't be welcomed and all that stuff. I'm a firm believer I can only judge a place if I've been there for a few days, so I'll have to do that. I'd never let people on a message board dictate what I do lol.

That's what I'd recommend.

Cincinnati is a great place to live and work. You will like it here as the city and the surrounding areas have a lot to offer. Welcome.

Hi --First time ever on a blog but we are getting ready to move BACK to Cincy area from a resort area that is really building up. Kids are there and want to spend time with grandchildren. Does anyone know anything about development in Lebanon--Walnut Hills? Or developer--Potter Hills?

After reading this thread it seems that many people are concerned about racism/segregation. I know all cities have this but how bad is it in Cincy?

I ask because I may be moving there later this summer to attend school and I currently live in a city where there are ALL types of people (a college town) and I have grown to love it! I would just hate to move to a city where segregation is so prevalent; I could move back to my home town if I wanted that.

So really, whats the deal with the minority/majority situation in Cincy?

(This question would probably be best answered by the NON-Cincy natives because natives are usually blind to problems like this because they are accustomed to it)

Thanks!

Cincinnati has some really good low cost neighborhoods. You don't live in one? Too bad, I do and I'm just fine with it. Cincinnati has some great activities for singles. You weren't invited? Too bad. Get to know people and support the institutions that sponsor these activities and you can go to them. Don't like the Bengals? I don't either. But, I could go to a professional football game here if I wanted to and root for the Steelers. Only 32 cities have an nfl team. Did you say you like concerts? Riverbend is as nice a place to listen to the Cincinnati Pops or get wasted and go to the Aerosmith concert next weekend. Oh, you need a big concert every weekend. OK, move to LA. That will improve your lifestyle if you make about $500,000 per year, which is the entry level for good living in LA, Ny, Boston and Phily. Miami? Has anyone ever seen the Miami Art Museum? I have. Its pure crap. Nothing in the entire museum worth paying security guards to protect. Restaurants? Not only do we have great restaurants, they are democratic. Meaning, if you are a peon which most of us are, you can still have dinner at the best restaurant in town. Try that in LA. Sorry, Mr. Peon, we seem to have lost your reservation.

I think things are just fine here. But, then, I've sort have got things arranged the way I like them.

if you think cincinnati is worth a dollar you are sadly stupid!
One of the worst cities in the world! I call it the Matrix ! It is not a real city with real people just portions of a false reality!

If you think that anyone in Cincinnati gives more than a passing glance at your so-called opinion, then your life must truly exist in a vacuum...

Cincinnati is no Garden Of Eden, by any stretch of the imagination...but it IS a place that people have chosen to live and raise families in...you should read (and respect) more posts on here by folks like Wilson1010, HartwellGirl, Ohiogirl81 (who lives in PHILADELPHIA, and STILL has nice things to say about the city), CrewChief, Cincy-Rise, RestorationConsultant, GoyGuy (a veritable fountain of info, and HE doesn't live here either!)...the list goes on...

If your best shot is to sign up for this forum, solely for the purpose of issuing a snarky 1st post, then you're really reaching---or should I have said 'sadly stupid'?

I'm not a Cincinnati native, and I love living here. Are there some things I would change? Sure. Transportation would be #1. However, it's what you make of it. There are tons of friendly people, things to do downtown, beautiful parks, festivals galore etc.

For friendly people, IMO, you have to go to places like Austin, Houston or Ft. Worth. I like that type of friendly myself. Even people from Seattle and coastal California are friendly, in my experience.

I don't find Cincinnatians to be friendly or jovial. They don't seem to know how to smile much here. I liked the area (I live in N. KY near the river, can be in DT Cincy in three minutes) for the first 5-6 months, but now I'm devising my exit strategy. Cincinnati can be very beautiful and there are ton of festivals and attractions to do and see, but it would be much better without most Cincinnatians.

My exit strategy has an ultimate destination in TX, WA or CA.
