Banking a ball off the stone walls of the Emery Theatre requires a steady wing and a bit of luck. This full round of 18 holes follows the real streets of Cincinnati, using the actual city map as the course. The holes are built directly from real attractions, turning the urban architecture into rails and cups. Skip knows every alleyway and sidewalk in this 7.1 mi walk, having spent plenty of time watching the city from the eaves.
Δεν βλέπετε ένα ιστορικό μνημείο ή μια γκαλερί. Βρίσκεστε στο Paycor Stadium. Αυτό το υπαίθριο γήπεδο ποδοσφαίρου στο Cincinnati, Ohio, είναι η έδρα των Cincinnati Bengals του National Football League. Σχεδιασμένο από τον αρχιτέκτονα NBBJ, η κατασκευή του γηπέδου ξεκίνησε το 2000 και εγκαινιάστηκε επίσημα στις 19 Αυγούστου 2000. Έχω δει πολλούς θαυμαστές να συρρέουν εδώ τις ημέρες των αγώνων, καθιστώντας το ένα θορυβώδες και γεμάτο ενέργεια σημείο στην πόλη. Είναι μια τεράστια κατασκευή που κυριαρχεί στην θέα του ποταμού για όποιον επισκέπτεται την περιοχή.
You might expect to find a railway terminal here, but this is actually the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. It is an African-American museum located in Cincinnati that focuses on the history of the Underground Railroad. I have noticed that the crowds are quite consistent throughout the year, as the center sees 180,000 annual visitors. It has operated as a nonprofit organization since it opened in 2004. It is a place where you can spend a lot of time reflecting on the past while standing in the heart of the city.
The Taft Theatre is a theatre building located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is designed in the Art Deco architecture style, which is a look that carries through to the building's Art Deco interior. The structure was built in 1928. I have always thought the sharp geometric lines of this specific style make for a great backdrop when you are wandering through the city streets. Whether you are a fan of the performing arts or just appreciate old city buildings, this site is a highlight of the local neighborhood.
You will find this museum adjacent to Great American Ball Park on the banks of the Ohio River. Established in 1958 by Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds franchise, the institution celebrates a legacy that goes back to the original Cincinnati Red Stockings taking the field in 1869. While the organization has been around for decades, it did not have a physical facility until 2004. I always think it's a great spot to stretch your legs and soak in some sports history before you head into the stadium for a game.
This isn't a modern gallery of glass and steel. It is the Taft Museum of Art, a fine art collection in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1927. You can visit the museum at 316 Pike Street, where it occupies a historic house built about 1820. This building is the oldest domestic wooden structure in downtown Cincinnati and is a National Historic Landmark. It is also a contributing property to the Lytle Park Historic District. I've noticed the wooden walls give the art a much warmer feel than most museums.
Βρίσκεται στο Cincinnati, στο Οχάιο, το Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati είναι ένα καζίνο που προσφέρει μια ατμόσφαιρα γεμάτη ενέργεια στην περιοχή. Λειτουργεί από την Hard Rock International και ανήκει στην Vici Properties. Όταν το επισκεφθείτε, ίσως σας φανεί ενδιαφέρον ότι ο χώρος δεν ξεκίνησε με το τρέχον όνομά του. Άνοιξε στα τέλη του 2013 με το όνομα Horseshoe Cincinnati. Έχω δει πολλούς ανθρώπους να περνούν ώρες μέσα, προσπαθώντας να κερδίσουν, αν και συνήθως προτιμώ τη θέα από την οροφή, όπου ο αέρας είναι καθαρός και τα ψίχουλα άφθονα.
In Cincinnati, you will find the Elsinore Arch. This structure is a gatehouse and storage building constructed in 1883. It is a National Register of Historic Places listed place, recognized for its Romanesque Revival architecture style. The architect for the project was Charles Edward Hannaford. I always think it looks quite sturdy, which is exactly what you want from a building designed for storage and security. It is a great spot to stop and look at the stonework before you continue your walk through the city.
Founded in 1881, the Cincinnati Art Museum is an art museum located in the Eden Park neighborhood. James W. McLaughlin is the architect of the building. Since its opening, the museum has grown to house a collection that spans 6,000 years of human history. It currently welcomes 250,000 annual visitors to view these works. I've always found the park surroundings a nice place to stretch your wings before heading inside, and the building itself is a great landmark to aim for when you are banking your ball off the nearby facades.

Because of its historical and architectural significance, it is a National Register of Historic Places listed place.

Το κτίριο βρίσκεται μέσα στο πράσινο του Eden Park, χρησιμεύοντας ως έδρα για το Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. Αυτό το περιφερειακό θέατρο ιδρύθηκε το 1959 από τον Gerald Covell, ο οποίος ήταν φοιτητής τότε. Από την έναρξή του, έχει αποτελέσει κέντρο για νέα έργα, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της πρεμιέρας του Compulsion του Meyer Levin στις 10 Οκτωβρίου 1960. Φιλοξένησε επίσης την παγκόσμια πρεμιέρα του Ace το 2006. Παρατήρησα ότι το περιβάλλον του πάρκου προσφέρει μια ωραία βόλτα πριν από μια παράσταση.
Let me show you Hopkins Park, an urban park located in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. While it is a small piece of the city, it provides a necessary break from the surrounding streets. You can pick out the boundaries of the park easily, as it is 0.895 acres in size. It is a modest space, but it remains a steady presence for the people living in this part of town. I've found that the size makes it a quick spot to visit between other stops in the city.
Δεν είναι μια απέραντη άγρια περιοχή, αλλά ένα πάρκο της γειτονιάς που βρίσκεται στο Mt. Auburn. Το Jackson Hill Park προσφέρει μια τοπική απόδραση μέσα στο Cincinnati, το οποίο ανήκει και διαχειρίζεται το Cincinnati Park Board. Μπορείτε να βρείτε ένα κιόσκι για πικνίκ εδώ, το οποίο ήταν μέρος ενός έργου το 1983 που έφερε νέες εγκαταστάσεις και διαμόρφωση τοπίου στην περιοχή. Η πόλη αγόρασε το πάρκο το 1930 για να εξασφαλίσει τον χώρο για το κοινό. Έχω διαπιστώσει ότι είναι ένα εξαιρετικό μέρος για να κάνετε ένα διάλειμμα ανάμεσα στα αξιοθέατα, και η βλάστηση το καθιστά μια αναζωογονητική απόδραση από το τσιμέντο των γύρω δρόμων.

Let me show you the Lloyd Library and Museum. This independent research library in downtown Cincinnati had its inception in 1864. While it is a library, its core subject and collection focus is medicinal plants. When you visit, you can pick out a wide range of materials emphasizing botany, pharmacy, natural history, and alternative medicine. It is also a great spot to see the history of medicine and science. I've noticed it's a much quieter corner of downtown than the usual hustle.
The Betts House is a brick home that holds a special place in local history. Built in 1804, it is the oldest surviving building in Cincinnati and the oldest brick home in Ohio. Today, the building functions as a house museum. It also serves as the headquarters of The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Ohio. You can pick out the sturdy masonry that has lasted through the centuries. I've seen plenty of fancy nests in this city, but nothing quite as solid as this one.
Henry Walter was the architect of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Peter in Chains. This Catholic cathedral is a minor basilica and a Greek Revival structure located at 8th and Plum streets in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States.

To preserve its importance to the city, the site is recognized as a Local Historic Landmark and is a National Register of Historic Places listed place.
The Contemporary Arts Center is a contemporary art museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1939, it is one of the first institutions of its kind in the United States. You can pick out the striking building designed by Zaha Hadid, which the museum moved into in 2003. It operates as a nonprofit organization and a non-collecting museum, meaning it doesn't hold a permanent collection. Instead, it focuses on bringing in fresh perspectives, having displayed the works of Andy Warhol early in his career. I've noticed the building's shape is almost as bold as the art inside.
Look up at the balconies and you will see a space built for 2,211 people. The Emery Theatre is a performing arts center located in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. While it is a theatre building today, it was constructed in 1911 as the home for a trade school. If you enjoy the sound quality, it is because the design is based on the isacoustic curve principles first proposed by John Scott Russell. I always find the scale of the place impressive.
Let me show you Music Hall, a concert hall built in the Venetian Gothic style. It was completed in 1878 and was designed to house musical activities in its central auditorium while using the side wings for industrial exhibitions. Today, it is the home for the Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, May Festival Chorus, Cincinnati Ballet, and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The U.S. Department of the Interior recognized it as a National Historic Landmark in January 1975. I've noticed the architecture makes it one of the most distinct spots on the street.
