A Cool Look at Cincinnati History

Looking at old photos of places I'm familiar with to see how they've changed can be very interesting. There's a small gallery/store in Hyde Park Square that has old-time photos, and I go in there sometimes just to look around and listen to Bill Cunningham. I bought a photo of fountain square when there was no square, just a fountain in the middle of a boulevard.

Tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. the historic Betts House "will have its grand opening of its new exhibit, Lost Cincinnati: Why Buildings Die. The exhibit will showcase our lost landmarks. Among buildings lost are canals, parks, houses, schools, theaters, inclines, and churches. The exhibit will also explore the reasons why buildings come and go, such as fires, floods, and earthquakes."
