Topic: Living in Cinci, Ohio

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Hey all!

I'm considering a move to the Cincinnati Ohio area to work for a firm downtown (Vine and 4th).  Looking for any comments, good and bad, about living in Cinci. 
- What areas are desireable to rent in and which are to be avoided,
- where are the traffic problems
- Should I ditch my U of Michigan sweatshirts? 

thanks in advance!

Jerry Springer was mayor there.  What else do you need to know?

"When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always twenty years behind the times." - Mark Twain

I think that quote probably still holds true today 

But seriously, I live in Ohio, but have only been to Cincinnati once so I can't really help ya.

I lived in Cincinnati for 6 years. I left there because of the racial tension and the crime. I lived in the Clifton area by the University of Cincinnati. In the time that I was there, my car got broken into twice despite the fact there was nothing inside it to steal. I was jumped twice, once by UC football players. My friends at Xavier University lived in fear because of a serial rapist that had been in that area. I haven't been back there in a while, but I do recall a few city wide curfews that were implemented because of racial riots. I believe that the latest one was 2001. I know that I don't paint a very nice picture of Cincinnati, but this is what I remember about that place.
