Synopsis

Porkopolis. City of Seven Hills. The Queen City. Whatever you call it, Cincinnati is home to two million who live and work in and around the city. A mix of Midwestern charm and industry, Cincinnati is a boon town on the cusp of a revival. With two major league sports teams, the nation's best zoo, a world-class art scene, pivotal American history, and enough beer to float a steamboat, visitors may find themselves with questions. Questions like: What's with all the pigs? What's with the murals? Why are so many movies filmed in Cincinnati? Most importantly, what's with that stuff you call chili? What's with Cincinnati explores the rich history of this thriving American city that has birthed presidents and cultural icons. Find out why Cincinnati was considered the Paris of the West and how a group of outspoken men and women helped thousands find freedom. Discover why locals bless you in German and learn the lingo to order a three-way like a real Cincinnatian. Find out how beer barons once ruled the city and what lurks 30 feet below. Learn how the city balances honoring the history and industrial innovation, and, most of all, learn what makes the city a domestic destination and a hidden gem for all to enjoy.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

When Micha O'Connor grew up in rural Kentucky, 40 minutes outside of Cincinnati, every visit to the city was a special treat. Driving up 75 through the "cut in the hill" lights unfolding ahead inspires her still. A grant writer by day, Micha has had a diverse career as an artist and educator. She holds a BFA in theatre from the University of Kentucky, where she also attended graduate school for Library and Information Science. This is her first book.
