"This guidebook is an in-depth exploration of what makes Cincinnati's neighborhoods what they are and how they came to be what they are." --Mike Templeton, Urban Appalachian Community Coalition

Cincinnati, Ohio, is a complex mix of many different things: its present and its past, its transitions and its legacies; what defines it and distinguishes it; what makes people love it and what makes some eventually leave it. This collection, written by both lifelong Cincinnatians and recent transplants, offers a sampling of life there today--the tensions, debates, the life-and-death battles, and, not least of all, the joys that make this city so alive. It's a genuinely felt collection that offers a unique perspective on an evolving and energized city, a homegrown portrait showcasing the voices of people who know something about the way life feels--and why it feels that way--in their communities. It's about all the ways Cincinnati's differences are the very things that make the city so alive.

Here, you'll find stories that look at:
  • How Mount Auburn changed in the aftermath of the police shooting of Samuel DuBose
  • The Catholic legacy in Mount Adams
  • A busy intersection in gentrifying Over-the-Rhine
  • The fading rural landscape of Camp Dennison
  • How life by the Ohio River defines and shapes life in Ludlow
With short essays by Gail Finke, Pauletta Hansel, Dani McClain, Ronny Salerno, Katie Vogel, and many others, this collection offers an intimate tour of the city's seven hills, its fifty-two neighborhoods, and its countless stories. Natives of Cincinnati will recognize both their streets and their histories, and readers from outside the city will get an unfiltered look at the locale known as "The Queen City."
