My extended family is from Louisville, which oddly feels connected, essentially just across the river from Cincinnati, and our closest relatives live in Cinci.
My 95 year old grandmother was a hard-core, Red’s fan, who lived in seasonal disappointment since pretty much the Johnny Bench era.
My dad was in the Red’s farm leagues til he threw out his arm, and for while he held the record for most rushing yards in H.S. for one of the geographical areas around Cinci. First person in his family to go to college (Vandy).
Beyond that, Cincinnati is a city. It’s built on a bunch of hills. It sells an odd tasting chili.
That’s about all I ever really noticed about it.
