Every city needs a good smokestack somewhere

Here are some more from Cincinnati:

^I think out of the Ohio "C" cities, Cincinnati is my favorite. I have never been there but I do like the urbanity and cityscape from photos. Is there any particular reason multi-story tenement housing was built in Cinci and not elsewhere in Ohio?

Cincinnati is considerably older than the other 2 C's. In 1850, Cincinnati had 115,000 residents (plus ~10,000 on the Kentucky side), while Cleveland and Columbus only had ~17,000 residents. Before technology allowed the city to climb the hills that ring the urban basin, the city was crammed into the flat land between the river and the hills. That meant everything had to be very densely constructed. For the most part, Cincinnati outside of the basin is lower density (built density, not necessarily population), and more resembles other midwestern cities. Though Cincy's architecture is considerably better throughout the city than either Columbus or Cleveland, imo. Italianate is the defining style of Cincy.

Those are some awesome aerials, Jake. Thanks for sharing!

They're just drone photos taken from real estate listings.

Makes sense, thanks!

It's good to see Nashville is booming

It's not good to see Cincinnati is not booming.

More real estate listing drone photos from Cincinnati...

A developer built this riverbank site over the course of 10 years...he collected dirt from underground parking garages and other excavations to elevate the strip well above the flood plain. The original levee can be seen, which still rises further, but the old levees were so high in part so that they had enough bulk and weight to resist breaches.

^ You slipped one from Nashville in there

That is definitely a Nashville-esque piece of infill. Streetview is outdated, but here is the site:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1613...7i16384!8i8192

This area is on the Mill Creek floodplain, which is why the quality of housing is so low. The homes predate the 1937 flood, when the Ohio River backed up to this point, four miles north of its normal bank. The barrier dam was built in the late 1940s, so the area hasn't flooded since then, but the low-quality homes remain.
