And with all due respect to St. Louis, C Cincinnati represents a much much more beautiful and fascinating destination, it's star is rising fast.
Hahahaha. You wish.
I challenge you to find a single statistic to back up your claim that Cincinnati is a more "beautiful and fascinating" destination than St. Louis, because in terms of tourism (both domestic and international), St. Louis gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more visitors than Cincinnati.
I was recently back in Cincinnati and the place is hopping. Stayed in a rapidly up-and-coming Covington. There is nothing remotely comparable in St. Louis to crossing the pedestrian Roebling bridge over the Ohio and then having lunch at the Findlay Market in an ever-vibrant Over-the-Rhine. Cincy is, imho, on it's way to being seen as a "must-visit" destination along the lines of a Charleston or Nee Orleans. It's topography, architecture and vibrancy are becoming more widely known and appreciated all the time. You should move there!!

To be fair, the Ohio River is much tamer and more approachable than the Mississippi River, and Covington wasn't nearly as industrial as East St. Louis, so it never became the post-industrial ****hole that East St. Louis did.
Do you really think Cincinnati is so special because it's featured in the NYTimes? I mean, it's great press for sure, but every city gets featured eventually.
In he last few years, Cincy has been highlighted in countless lists, guides etc. Thus wasn't the case 10 years ago.
It possibly has the fastest rising reputation in the country at the moment, along with Detroit?
It seems to be where Pittsburgh was at in the urban zeitgeist several years back.
When I was in Covington last summer, spoke to a young millennial from Portland!!! He's managing a clubbthete and told me he knows all sorts of 20 something's from the Pacific Northwest that are now in the Cincy area.
It has all the ingredients to reemerge as a great iconic American city.

Cincinnati's waterfront is missing something though. There is a lot of development along the Ohio river in downtown Cincinnati but the development does not interact with the Ohio river. You cannot touch the water and the waters edge is fenced off and far removed. This may be do to flooding. Pittsburgh's riverfront park is fully connected to the rivers and quite a few places throughout the three rivers.
My attempts at educatng you have obviously fallen on deaf ears, or technically, blind eyes.
Cin-Day is already bigger than St. Louis and accelerating in terms of growth. Except, "Cin-Day" isn't a part of Cincy's UA, MSA, CSA, nothing! You keep getting called out on this, and are totally oblivious to how clueless you sound. The thread isn't about your idea of "Cin-day", it's Cincy, period. Read the poll, do you see 1/3 of Ohio on the list? Work on your reading comprehension please.
If you need to believe it's just a Starbucks linking the emerging metroplex, go right ahead. Not what I said, work on your sarcasm detection while you're working on your reading comprehension.

Another brilliant, baseless opinion being presented as fact... Just keep repeating this to yourself when I keep posting those numbers u love to ignore, it'll be ok...
I just hope St. Louis can avoid joining Cleveland in the perpetually stagnant, shrinking column demographically, honestly I do. Maybe look at what Cincy has done to turn things around?!
That was anticlimactic... good to know your complex extends to Cleveland too
So you still don't understand my posts... I think, seeing as how you keep responding to cold hard facts with your amusing opinion, that you just don't want to listen. Actually respond to my questions if you want to be taken seriously.
To be fair, the Ohio River is much tamer and more approachable than the Mississippi River, and Covington wasn't nearly as industrial as East St. Louis, so it never became the post-industrial ****hole that East St. Louis did.
Your magnanimity is appreciated, but misguided. In the case of East St. Louis, it's obvious just how unfair life can be - but what should Cincinnati to do to help out? Firebomb all its NKY riverfront communities, Dresden-style, to literally level the playing field?
I voted for Baltimore because out of the other cities that are listed they are the only one with a large port, not to mention the fact that do to it's proximity to Washington DC there are a lot of government agencies that are based in the area such as Social Security Administration or the National Security Agency.
