Brilliant Arts!

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. 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 at the ignorant comments about black men on this page. It's really embarrassing. And it's everybody -- from the poor folks in the inner cities to the appalachians across the river to the educated folks in Hyde Park. That town needs to do something serious about the racism.
For all you P&G bashers ~ Procter & Gamble actually the one place in the city where you can find honest-to-God diversity. One of my friends is from China and works for P&G told me that he loves the company because it's so multicultural - he never has to apologize for having an accent or being different.
