Cincinnati is the most beautiful major city in Ohio, and one of the prettiest in the US. Columbus, smack in the middle of a corn field, has NOTHING on Cincy. Unless you’re a 21 year old Natural Light-drinking OSU student, Cincinnati is far superior. It may not be the best for “punks,” but most self actualized people will appreciate the intrinsic beauty of the natural surroundings and the architecture. A world-class symphony, the nation’s best contemporary arts muesum, and dozens upon dozens or art galleries, jazz bars, neighborhood pubs brimming with personality, and an inextinguishable amount of civic pride make Cincinnati a true delight. Is it conservative? Perhaps—Cincinnati has a large number of very large corporations that are very successful. This financial success has lead to a very wealthy and philanthropic community that spends huge amounts on local arts—in that respect, financial conservatism and civic pride has lead to on heck of an American city. There are still very liberal areas—Northside, Downtown, Over-The-Rhine, etc.. ANYBODY will easily find a place here.
