[Fading Advertisements] The Winslow's Next Door Neighbor
Unlike a lot of the fading advertisements seen on this site and in the book, this one isn't still promoting a business long after it's gone. Rather, the arrow directs passersby to where they can find Ollie's Trolley hawking excellent burgers and a selection of other southern comfort foods ranging from ribs to deep fried fish.

Where Race St. Ends (For Now)
Race St. runs from the northern point of Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood all the way to the riverfront where it abruptly ends at a concrete barrier...
...for now.

The Alignment of Cincinnati and Covington
If you were blissfully unaware of Midwestern georgraphy, you might look across at Covington from Cincinnati and assume it's all one big city, an urban street grid not separated by a river and state borders. That's now how it is, but here's the story of how Covington and Cincinnati physically aligned and continue to do so, with old ways of thinking still found today.

The historic Gwynne Building in Cincinnati's Central Business District isn't lacking in ornamental details, but there's six specifically that caught my eye while waiting for the train the other night. They adorn the smaller section of the building next to the main tower.

[Fading Advertisements] Beauty
A few weeks back, I went to meet up with Die Innenstadt at Rhinehaus to catch one of the last FC Cincinnati games of the season. I parked around the corner and as I walked to the bar, I noticed this fading advertisement sitting in Wilkymacky Alley. The only legible word left is "beauty" with a white painted frame around it.

The Queen City Discovery 10th Anniversary Special
This post was scheduled to publish on October 29, 2017 at 5:02 P.M. At that point, when this post is live, this website known as Queen City Discovery will be a decade old. It’s been an interesting ten years and as the anniversary approached, I debated on what I’d do to commemorate it or if I should at all.

In the heart of the city, near the northern end of a neighborhood, and at a peculiar crossroads, there was this great little jazz club.

QC/D on Good Seats Still Available
I’ve got a regular rotation of podcasts I listen to, but lately I’ve been addicted to one in particular: Good Seats Still Available. Host Tim Hanlon dives into a lifelong fascination with “what used to be in professional sports.”

The United States Women's National Team's Fourth Appearance in Cincinnati
f FC Cincinnati hasn't been enough of a statement that soccer has arrived in the Queen City, then perhaps Tuesday night was.
