Highlighted in this volume are the city's spectacular architectural achievements, its centers of culture and learning, its hubs of industry and transportation, its legendary sports tradition, its diverse neighborhoods, and, above all, the spirit of its citizenry. Through these striking images, together with the insightful text, authors Kevin Grace and Tom White take the reader on a unique visual tour of this historic river city.

Lots of photos and some discussion about downtown, commerce, the subway, transpiration, neighborhoods, spores, parks, the zoo, race relations, education, religion, music and the arts.
There are postcard,s the Tyler Davidson fountain, breweries, hotels, the Carew tower, Lazarus, riverboats, the inclines, the subway, Union Terminal, good and bad people, the Court House riots, Coney Island and even more.
The Carew Tower at one time had a food court, a bookstore and various other stores but that part declined until it was eventually torn down and turned into a parking lot. Appointments, a really good fountain pen store, is still there, though. I can remember when Lazarus was Shillitos both are gone now. There were also overhead walkways that have now gone.
It's a good book for those interested in the city and its history.

This book is a general look at the legacy that is Cincinnati. It covers historic events, the courthouse fire, athletics, museums, classic buildings, universities, parks, famous Cincinnatians and the zoo. I have been to Cincinnati, and recommend this book to anyone who is an aficionado of this city.

Another interesting history of the Queen City through photographs and their associated stories. A quick, worthwhile and enlightening read.
