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 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.

This is just a cute book of tidbits about Cincinnati; nothing very in depth or detailed, but cute.

Some tidbits of interesting info…but the horrible editing and incomplete stories made it a difficult read.
