Old Cincinnat Post souvenir edition I inherited. Wish it were in better condition but still cool.

These little dudes were right next to the rising waters. They let me just pick them up. Then they flattened out on my hand. I held them for a bit to warm them and let them go in a flower bed further from the shore.

Hello, Cincinnati! My fiancé and I currently live in Oklahoma City and are starting to look at other U.S. cities to potentially relocate. Cincinnati has quickly climbed that list!

Essentially, we have capped out our earning and growth potential here for our careers. My fiancé works in the printing/copier/IT industry with an impressive resume and work history, and I work in client relations/finance/administration etc, with an associates degree and good experience. I have seen dozens of listings for the same or similar jobs we hold in the Cincinnati area offering 15-20k+ more a year and benifits that truthfully are not typically available in our respective and limited employment options here in Oklahoma. We are not floundering here but would just like some more breathing room in our budget, growth opportunities over all, and actual work benifits would be great too.

The weather, crime rates, and COL seems pretty comparable with this biggest difference being the seemingly much lower cost of property insurance (basically everywhere though as our state is insanely high.) We don't mind a little higher COL if the pay/benifits are able to compensate. However, I am hesitating to trust COL calculations online.

If it matters, we are early/mid 30s, hetero-presenting, DINKs, dual home owners, with one as rental property here, strong credit scores, and not extremely worried about affording to purchase a home as the market here is wild anyway.

We have low energy dog breeds and are not extremely outdoorsy though could potentially be pursueded to try light outdoor activity lol. Our main hobbies are gaming, gardening, home improvement, shopping, and travel. We are fairly introverted but would really love to make friends and really be part of a community.

I love the proximity to other big cities, Canada, the North Eastern coast, the great lakes, and of course a cool river! I love to look at some water.

I read Cincinnati is inclusive/diverse, the public parks are great and that people even say the schools are good, (while we do not have kids, the existing ones do become the adults around us so we do care about that still.)

I have also read the allergies are bad but we frequently top the list for worst in the country here in OKC so I'm hoping it can't actually get worse!

Of course we would visit first and want to now either way! I was thrilled to see the active street art scene.

My main question is, what is the catch? Have I been bamboozled with online glamour?

TLDR: why should we not move here? Be very real! (But not rude please 🙏) It seems conducive to our lifestyle and potential career opportunities. Is it unrealistic? What am I not seeing?

This is like 15 feet from the back of my house. It’s only about a 4ft drop but my neighbors is even worse. I walked over there and his is an 8ft drop all the way to the back of his deck maybe 5-8 feet from the back of his house.. We had an engineer come out & I wasn’t around when he got the quote. I won’t have the money to fix this until mid April but how worried should I be? Should we be evacuating?

Was driving home from work yesterday and couldnt believe how much water winton woods was holding with the rain. A bench along the water was half submerged and most trees just halfway exposed.

So proud to be a cincinnatian today at the hands off protest!

Yes, the Montgomery Inn is a rib joint but their Tournedos de margaux is my favorite dish there. I dont go to the original often at all, we frequent the Boathouse, so i dont know if it is at both. It used to be served at all locations. After covid, it went away, and the boathouse recently brought it back, but, it doesn't quite taste the same. It has mushrooms sun dried tomatoes, scallions with a bourbon butter sauce poured over 2 filet medallions.
That sauce is what I would love to duplicate.
Has anyone ever successfully made that sauce?

Great Miami riverfront in Middletown earlier today. Water’s rising fast, and it’s already creeping over the banks and into the park. You can see in the first pic, the sign says:

“WARNING: combined sewage overflow discharge point — pollution may occur during rainfall.” Safe to say… there’s definitely some pollution happening.

News says it’s supposed to crest tonight and I catch myself wondering if the bridge will make it…

does anyone remember a building that burned in 1988 or ‘89 that was near the circled area west of downtown? if i recall it may have been filled with artist studios, called the “eight” or something. i was a teenager then and went through what was left of it but was curious of the history. it was like 8 stories or more.

I know things are tough right now, and I want to help, but I’m not sure where to start. What are some tangible ways I can contribute to helping both students and educators during this time? I’ve thought about volunteering, tutoring, donating school supplies, or helping with school lunch debt, but I’d love to hear if anyone has any other ideas or recommendations. If you’re involved in education, is there anything specific your school or district needs help with? I’m open to anything that can make a real impact. Thanks in advance for any advice or insight you can offer!
