Cincinnati ist die drittgrößte Stadt im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Ohio. Sie liegt am Nordufer des Flusses Ohio. Am Südufer des Flusses befinden sich die zu Kentucky gehörenden Städte Covington und Newport.

Das Stadtzentrum ist allseitig von malerischen Hügeln umgeben. Cincinnati ist die Partnerstadt von München, das erklärt vielleicht auch die Existenz des Hofbräuhauses in Cincinnati.

Orientation

The city center is "Downtown" Cincinnati, sometimes referred to as the "Central Business District." With many major attractions and corporate headquarters located here, the focus of the region revolves around this district.

The other noteable areas are:

• Mt. Adams is a trendy neighborhood located directly northeast of downtown Cincinnati, known for its lively nightscene and the Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church, which was built by German immigrants in the city's early days. German inscriptions can be seen around the church.

• Hyde Park is a tranquil and pleasant neighborhood, and arguably one of the most desirable zip codes in Cincinnati proper. At the heart of the neighborhood is Hyde Park Square, a tree-lined esplanade of boutique shops and restaurants, including Indigo, Teller's, Vineyard Cafe and Graeter's.

• Clifton is home to many gas light- lined streets and sprawling mansions. The neighborhood borders many transitional neighborhoods, but maintains its own desirability. The Ludlow Avenue business district contains a mixture of trendy restaurants and local chain restaurants.

• Over-the-Rhine is the location of Music Hall (home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Opera) and Findlay Market, Ohio's oldest public market in continuous operation. OTR is a widely discussed neighborhood in Cincinnati because of the clash between the poverty that pervades the neighborhood and efforts to create a thriving arts and entertainment district in the area. A crackdown by Cincinnati police to curb crime and the drug trade in the neighborhood has been met with some success.

Hintergrund

Klima

Cincinnati's climate is one of four distinct seasons. Winters range from harsh to mild, while summer and early fall is hot and humid.

The average temperature in the winter drops to the low 30's (F) and during the summer, reaches the upper 70's (F) to mid-90's (F).

Normally, there are very few snowy days that impair driving on the city's hilliest roads. Snow in Northern Kentucky is of exceptional concern because of the increased number of hills and rural roads, which are not as quickly treated as roads in Southwest Ohio. If you plan to drive or travel through Northern Kentucky during a snowy period, be extremely careful and phone ahead to make sure your destination is still accessible.

• Cincinnati Bengals, One Paul Brown Stadium (Riverfront), ☎ +1-513-621-8383, http://www.bengals.com/. The Bengals were almost always the punchline of a joke about the NFL.

THe Bengals have since posted and 8-8 record in 2004 and an 11-5 record with an AFC North Division Championship. Since their turnaround, a visit to a Bengals game is recommended — if you can get a ticket. Their new home is Paul Brown Stadium, named for the Hall of Fame founder and owner/first head coach of the team in their American Football League days. 2006 NFL games are sold out so you'll probably have to resort to a scalper.

The Reds' new home is Great American Ball Park, located on the downtown riverfront near the site of the stadium it replaced, the now-demolished Riverfront Stadium.

Sicherheit

It's not recommended that a person be out late at night, alone, in parts of the urban neighborhoods of Over-the-Rhine, Avondale, and Bond Hill. Most violent crimes in Cincinnati are confined to these areas; however, since April 2001, when the city was rocked by riots, the police and city council have stepped up efforts to make Cincinnati safer. It is recommended that people travel in groups, and exercise caution, as in all urban areas.

A particular problem in mid-Spring and even as far late as late-Fall is tornado activity in the tristate area. Heed all weather warnings provided by the National Weahter Service. Television stations keep updated maps of severe weather on the screens. Some radio stations are not as good at alerting people to severe weather. Please see Tornado safety for more information.

Located at 3850 State Route 73 in Peebles Ohio.
