Day 3: Cincinnati
After Charleston, it was a 3-hour jaunt WNW to Cincinnati. I had never been to Cincinnati, and knew nothing other than that it was the third-largest of the three Big Cs in Ohio (300,000 people, smaller than Columbus and Cleveland) and that it was, culturally, far more Kentucky-Tennessee than Ohio-Pennsylvania.
Boy, was I blown away. To be fair, I only saw the riverfront area of downtown and the sports arenas, but I was absolutely amazed at how beautiful the riverfront park was. The river area of Cincinnati is my new favorite urban space, and I don't say that lightly: it was stunning. I was told that, as recently as 3 or 4 years ago, it was not nearly as nice, but in my time there (spent walking the riverfront park and taking in a Cincinnati Reds game) I was absolutely enthralled.
I'm in the MUHAMMAD ALI MUSEUM in Louisville right now, and the orientation video is about to start, so I'll post pics from Cincinnati and Louisville tonight!

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
