The ultimate book for people interested in Cincinnati
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a great book to help one discover Cincinnati and its neighborhoods. There are 12 or 13 walking tours plus one driving tour. 2/3 of the walking tours take place in the city and the other half in the suburbs. All tours have a map for easy reference and the route is clearly spelled out.Each tour is also enlivened with John Clubbe's engaging commentary on architecture, urban planning, and Cincinnati history. I am a native Cincinnatian and I learned more from this book than any other source about the region's often colorful history. In my opinion, the best tour is the Mount Auburn tour. This is a beautiful part of our city that many people who have lived here all their life have never visitied. I also enjoyed the west side of downton tour and the driving tour.The only drawback to this book is it was published 12 years ago. It could use an update. However, as Cincinnatians know, nothing much ever changes here and the book's tours hold up well even with it being over a decade old. Buy this book. I guarantee you won't be disappointed

Clubbe is not a Cincinnatian and he gives an outsider's prospective on a place some people consider insular.
