Traditional Family Town - 7/4/2011
As everyone would agree, Cincinnati is a good place to live if you are caucasian, heterosexual, married, and have or want to have children. Newcomers are not embraced and diversity is not well tolerated. It's very Christian and conservative, it is possible to find a niche if you have other views or beliefs, but it takes work.

Cincy Needs Help - 7/3/2011
After I had lived here in Cincinnasti / Cincinnoisy / Cincinntrashti for just a few months, I realized I had made a big mistake moving here. That was two and one half years ago, so I have tried to give this poor town a chance. This is the most uncivilized, disfunctional town I have ever lived in - this after having lived in many places in the USA plus two third-world countries. And yes, I am willing to put my money where my mouth is; the house is on the market with an expectated 40K loss, but it's worth it just to get out of this place.
Cincy started to become a haven for riffraff back in the mid 60s when the decision was made to put up section-8 housing everywhere. The result is that now there are no good or bad neighborhoods as the entire city is one big ghetto. Sure the mayor and his cronies are cleaning up the immediate downtown area, but by moving all the riffraff into what used to be good neighborhoods. Even on the edges of downtown, there are numerous abondoned

This place is discusting - 12/9/2010
Trashinati is a pile of garbage in southwest OH. I am ashamed that I was born their. I refuse to claim it. There are a lot of ghetto trash and trailer trash low life fools that live there. Everyone is so trashy with no class and no education. It's just not the place to be for anyone who is classy and educated and actually wants to do something with their life. There were never any jobs in Cincinnati.Don't ever bother with this dump. You will never have a real life. Cincinnati is an abomination should be burned to

Brilliant Arts! - 8/3/2010
Cincinnati has amazing world-class theater. Playhouse in the Park won a Tony Award for regional excellence, and The Ensemble Theater is an incredible little place – they perform world-premiere plays and musicals in what used to be one of the worst areas of town (it's gentrified now). If you're at all into the arts, the Symphony and many theaters downtown give you everything you need. Check out the Showboat Majestic (a theater on a boat) during the summers. Go to the University of Cincinnati's musical theater department and you'll see tons of future Broadway stars (people like Pamela Myers and Shoshana Bean are graduates).
Plus the riverfront is awesome in the summer. We actually have nationally-ranked fireworks displays too. Who knew?
We also have... professional sports. They're OK. We have them. haha.
I will admit though, having grown up in the beautiful woodsy suburbs, that Cincinnati is a racist town. No sugar-coating. It's ugly. Just look

It's really embarrassing. And it's everybody -- from the poor folks in the inner cities to the appalachians across the river to

Cincinnati is awsome - 6/29/2010
Moved to Cincinatti from San Francsico when I was 14, I am 26. Cincinnati is easly, hands down, the BEST city in the nation. From the friendly people of the midwest, the homey atmosphere, and a taste of all seasons (even the beautiful colors of fall) Totally, kid friendly, great place to raise a family, lots activites for the whole family. GREAT fireworks display on labor day, festivals during the summer, and low the cost of living. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. And the fans for the Bengals and Reds are very loyal and it makes it so much, more fun, losing or wininng. WHO DEY! Can't beat 5 dollar Reds tickets...hey it might be nose bleed but it keeps the kiddies out of trouble!!

Living in Cincinnati for 20 years. - 6/27/2010
Many of the comments I have read about Cincinnati have been right on. It really depends on what area you live in. The city is divided by I-75 with Westside Eastside. The westside is primarly Catholic, these people don't move outside of the neighborhood. They typical move down the street from their parents who act as babysitters. The westside is very closed to outsiders and you are very excluded if you are not Catholic, although they have lots of great festivals if you like drinking draft beer and gambling. The Eastside is more upscale with diverse people but all still very conservative. Lots of people with designer clothing and BMW's. Northside is an older area but has come to life with tatoos and the gay area is big there. The norhtern area's Mason, West Chester are nice for raising a family. Northern Ky where the Cincinnati Airport is, is nice. Newport has a lot of attractions but again you have to be from the area or live here long enoughto know where to go. Even the people from
