3 C's? How About 4! Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Covington in 2022

Ohio is well known for the three C's: Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Although very similar in population (Cincinnati ranks 30th in the US for metro population with 2.26 million, Columbus is 32nd with 2.15 million and Cleveland is 34th with 2.08 million), they are very different in feel, history and layout. This is a collection of photos I've taken over the past year in each of the three cities. Plus, because Covington, Kentucky is such an interesting (and underrepresented) city in its own right and is directly across the river from downtown Cincinnati, I'm also adding photos of Covington.

Let's start in northern Ohio and work our way southward. Went up to Cleveland in June to see a Guardians-Twins game and give a friend from Minneapolis a tour of Cleveland. Here are the Guardians for whom their baseball team is now named!

The Ohio City neighborhood has grown notably over the past ten years. Older buildings have been fixed up and new ones added contributing to a vibrant cityscape.

Spent a few days in Cleveland in October with family & friends. My sister had never been to the rock&roll hall of fame and she really wanted to see the display onThe Beatles from their Get Back series. Stayed at a cool bnb on the west side.

One of my favorite places to see in downtown are The Arcades. Cleveland has three historic ones along Euclid Avenue.

Entrance to 5th Street Arcades (Euclid Arcade), downtown Cleveland, OH by Todd Jacobson, on Flickr

First is the Euclid Arcade-which has a single level.

The Euclid Arcade is connected to the Colonial Arcade, which has a bit more activity and has two levels.

Across Euclid Avenue is The Arcade, which is simply the grandest arcade I've seen in North America. It's now a Hyatt Regency Hotel, which is a sad under utilization of what it should be in an ideal world.

Fourth Street is a short street connecting Euclid to the baseball stadium and basketball arena. It's lined with restaurants and busy most evenings.

We're now at Public Square, with the Soldiers & Sailors Monument.

The Terminal Tower at Public Square is a must see if you're in Cleveland. I'd say it may qualify as the first large-scale mixed-use real estate development in the country. Completed in 1927, it included an office tower, train station, hotel and department store.

The late 1980's mall that was added unfortunately wasn't too successful, but it still has a few shops and food court restaurants.

At 9th & Euclid, a former banking hall has been converted to a grocery store.

The West Side Market in Ohio City (just west of downtown) is my favorite city market in the US.

Heading over to Cleveland's East Side now, which is home to the Cleveland Clinic, Case Western University, the major museums and concert halls of Cleveland. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of these areas this year (but see my Flickr site as I have many albums of Cleveland photos). But I did pay a visit to Lakeview Cemetery, which includes gravesites for JD Rockefeller, Eliot Ness, Alan Freed, and President James Garfield, among many others. The east side (and Cleveland Heights) also includes many interesting retail nodes, such as Coventry Road, Shakers Square, Lechmere and Little Italy. Below is a brief sample of the east side.

Great photos, appreciate you sharing them and looking forward to the other C's! Had to chuckle a little at the bookshelf at Loganberry Books - I spotted a copy of my book, published in 2003. Hard to believe it's coming up on 20 years in circulation!

Thanks for the comments! Mayday that's really cool about your book! I'm sure I've scanned it at bookstores. One of these days I'll have to buy a copy and get it autographed!

Anyways, continuing on with the series, we're now at Columbus. Historically, Columbus was always much smaller than either Cleveland or Cincinnati and so it lacks the depth of architectural legacy of the other two cities. In 1930, when metro Cleveland had a population of 1.2 million residents and metro Cincinnati had 759,000 (per Demographia), metro Columbus was at 361,000. But, as Columbus has grown substantially in recent decades benefitting from home to Ohio State University, the state government and a very diverse economy being headquarters for firms such as Huntington Bank, Nationwide Insurance, Wendy's, White Castle (is it coincidence that the two square burger chains of America are both HQ'd here?), retailers such as Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Abercrombie&Fitch, DSW. plus now Intel is locating their huge chip plant just east of Cbus.

Downtown Columbus is more spread out the either downtown Cleveland or Cincinnati. It's largely oriented to High Street or Broad Street, with the state capitol at the intersection of Broad & High and institutions extending east along Broad (Art Museum, churches, a few insurance companies and major pension funds), while High Street is more commercial in character.

Columbus lacks a major river, but instead has several smaller rivers or creeks extending through the area. This is the Olentangy which extends north from downtown past the OSU campus. There's a bike path along it which is well used, but unfortunately they also located a freeway (Highway 315) along it (a legacy of mid-1960s planning).

Grandview Yard is a large, new urbanist mixed-use development at middle left of the below photo. This used to be distribution center for a grocery store chain, but now includes apartments, condos, townhomes, office, hotels, retail and restaurants.

Across the Scioto River from downtown is Franklinton, which is actually the site of the first settlement in Columbus. The area was prone to flooding and the city expanded more on the east side of the river. But in the past 10 years, this previously neglected area has seen a significant amount of development, including conversion of old industrial buildings to artist studios, several craft breweries, the National Veteran's Memorial and Museum, and new apartments, offices and even a hotel.

South of downtown is the Brewery District & German Village, which have many buildings dating back to the mid-19th century and are filled with brick streets, brick walks, brick walls and brick buildings. By the 1940s and 1950s, the area was in bad shape and was proposed for (what else) large-scale demolition. Fortunately, locals protested these plans and a historic district was established that is now considered one of the largest historic districts in the country.

Arguably, the best known part of Columbus is The Short North. Located just north of downtown and stretching for nearly a mile towards OSU, this commercial district was run down in the 1980s but has experienced substantial reinvestment and expansion, while still maintaining a great mix of locally-owned businesses and restaurants/bars.

Here's a few miscellaneous photos from Dublin and New Albany, which are suburbs of Columbus, but determined to establish true town centers. Dublin actually was founded in the early 1800s and has a village center, but they've enlarged with a huge new development called Bridge Park.

Lookin good so far!

(on a side note, I've lived in Columbus twice and visited Cincy numerous times, but I need to visit Cleveland again... haven't been there since I was a child about 30 years ago when Jacobs Field was under construction!)

Cincinnati is a classic river city, situated among hills along the mighty Ohio. It was arguably the first major city in the interior of the United States. In 1830, it ranked as the 8th largest city with about 25,000 residents. Though later overtaken by St. Louis and then Chicago, Cincinnati remained one of the ten largest cities in the US until 1910. As a result this city has an incredible building stock. Although the neighborhoods are very walkable, the presence of numerous hills causes a dispersion of the city and lessens its big city feel IMO. But the city offers many fascinating districts with historic nodes. In 2020, the city had about 309,000 residents ranking as the 65th largest city. But metro-wise, it ranked as 30th largest.

Over-The-Rhine is one of the most intact historic neighborhoods in the US. It suffered through multiple decades of decay, but fortunately most of the historic building stock remained. Over the past 15 years, its experienced significant reinvestment as businesses have opened and buildings have been fixed up.

Incredibly enjoyable tour of Ohio's largest cities... thank you! When I lived in Ohio I always loved how different each of the cities feels from one another. Having lived in Dublin in the late 90's, those photos of Bridge Park blow my mind.... looked on Google Maps and there's a huge development on the other side of the river as well connected with a pedestrian bridge over the river!

Thanks for these photos! I love the diversity of the 3Cs...each has their own style and personality. I am partial to Cincinnati, as I think it has the best architecture, topography, and distinct neighborhoods and neighborhood business districts, but I respect that each 'C' has its own strengths. Sometimes I like to think about if the 3Cs were combined into one large city.

I especially appreciate your photos of Mariemont, a community that I really love and find very special. Looking forward to seeing your Covington photos!

can you imagine if the three c’s were combined? what an epic city that would be. we’d have waterfront and beaches, hills and dales, valleys and rivers plural … and sprawl and cornfields (thx columbus!) lol.
