Yes, it's ended for some people.

Don't forget Philip Sheridan, another Ohioan.

Charlotte hardly even has a river.
And our university has a stand-alone name, unlike the satellite school in Charlotte. No "Ohio State - Cincinnati" for us!
Cincy has Kings Island as well as the revived Coney Island. Charlotte has "Carowinds" and the ruins of a theme park built by scandalized televangelists (is that redundant?)
Where did the Charlotte Symphony and Pops Orchestras go on their last tour? Or are there any?

Cincinnati can claim nasty chili, and Charlotte can claim nasty vinegary BBQ, so that at least is a toss-up. WE, however, have far better ice cream.

Maybe the OP would like to visit the forum for New York City and start some Queens College trash talk? (Never mind that the school in NC calls itself a university now.)

Actually, Charlotte has at least THREE Cincinnati chili parlors in the downtown area. It probably shows some culture. (g)

I actually wish we had a good NC style barbecue place in Cincinnati, I like the salted and vinegary pork and cole slaw on a sandwich. There's a place in Findlay Market that's close enough for the time being.

I have had some great NC pulled pork BBQ although North Carolina, none in Charlotte though.

By the way, I misspoke on a prior post. The city with the chili parlors was Greensboro, NC, not Charlotte.

Why the big stink now since they both have had it for many decades?

Thanks for that one. I need to read up about him. I know there's a Sheridan High School in Central Ohio which must be named after him.
