[Lucena]

hey, can't we all just get along, no need for the hostility, our fellow floridian is just asking a question of cincinnati residents :thefinger :thefinger

Our lazy fellow Floridian. No problem though, I hooked him up. That's what i'm here for.

CVG is about 20 minutes on the KY side of the river if I remember correctly.

Eat at Montgomery Inn while you are there. It's not the best restaurant in Cincy, but it is one of the must-dos while there.

Other than a few highlights, Cincy is one terrible city. I, unfortunately, lived there for about two years. Basically, a bunch of wannabe New Yorkers (not sure why) just trying to prove that they are not from KY which is all of 2 seconds away.

And, the "Cincy" airport just happens to be in KY.

But have fun while there!

I wish I had known that before picking my residency. I did choose solely on the program and not the city but after visiting cinci this past weekend, my fiance and I realized it was a looooong way from NC. It depressed the crap out of me...hopefully my 2 years will go by quickly.

We found a place we will be renting in Hyde Park, I've heard that's a decent place to be.

 

[Lucena]

ok

ok

thanks for the help everybody

I believe if you look back on your original thread about moving to Cincy, I was quite vocal about the Queen City.

Hyde Park is a great area. It's just the people of Cincy, in general, that suck so bad. It is an awful place for a single guy to live in regards to hot girls. This is in comparison to Atlanta and Nashville (insert redneck or racial joke here). But since you are engaged, that wouldn't matter anyway.

For me, the Hyde Park area and Mt. Adams areas are the only ones worth even looking at.

The aquarium in Covington (actually the next town over), KY is really cool. You will want to check that out. Probably take any out of town guests there for something different.

Dear Lucena:

Sorry for the sarcastic remark earlier. Let me respond to your questions in a truthful and frank manner as I have in my 2,312 other posts.

CVG is located in Northern Kentucky about a 10-15 minute car/taxi ride south of downtown Cincinnati which lies on the north bank of the Ohio River. If your going right from the airport to the ballpark, grab a cab, no problem.

Great American Ball Park is located in downtown Cincinnati. As far as retro parks go, I'd give it a C-. Jake in Cleveland, Coors field in Denver (two I've been to) much better with more character. GABP rather stark, kinda like Cincinnati.

Don't get me wrong, Cincinnati, physically, is a very pretty city. As your driving north on I-75 toward downtown, you'll get quite a nice view. It's just that the town is run by some of the most back water former Nazi heirarchy.

I think thats why Bush was invited to throw out the first ball here tomorrow. It's probably one of the few towns the moron will get a standing ovation. Thats why this town is embarassing. Sorry had to get my political shot in somewhere.

I was going to offer you a deal on my tickets which are right behind the diamond seats but I think you will be quite satisfied. I believe those are around $200 a pop. Have a good time. Hope the weather holds.

I'll be there Thursday night. We are playing some Triple AAA club called the Pirates I think. They picked up some Reds cast off called Casey or something like that. Should be fun to watch those western Pennsylvanniian Amish kick the ball around the field while sipping a few cold ones. If your in town on Thursday, get my email from Jack so I can enlighten you further and you can buy me a free beer which you will be receiving in the Diamond seats.

By the way Ctown. Get a life.

Eddie
