The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is one of the largest and busiest public libraries in the world. In today's Internet driven world the library still offers great value to the people of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

The library has 40 branch locations throughout the area. Their collections hold about 9,545,414 items and they offer over 15,000 free programs to seniors and toddlers alike. Amazing!

If you're still looking to get on the Internet, take advantage of their hundreds of computers with access or bring your own machine and use their fee-based Wi-Fi service.

Central Parkway

Many Cincinnati residents making their daily commute on Central Parkway have no idea they are actually driving on top of the failed Cincinnati Subway project.

The project was started at the conclusion of WWI in 1920. However, work stop abruptly in 1927 with seven miles of undergound tunnel completed but with no track installed. There are three semi-completed stations located at Central Parkway and Race streets, at Central Parkway and Liberty street, and at Central Parkway and Brighton corner.

There has been many attempts to revive the project over the years with no success. The only group authorized to offer tours is the Cincinnati Museum Center's Heritage Project because of their safety record while conducting tours. However, the tours are offered sporadically and only one or two are planned annually.

While traveling on I-75 south, carefully look to your left near the Hopple Street exit, you can catch a quick look at the north and south entrance and exit of the failed subway project.

Cincinnati Zoo

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardenis located in the Avondale area of Cincinnati. The facility's location makes it unique among other zoos in the country because of its urban setting as compared to many others which where establised in suburban areas.

The Zoo opened in 1875 and is the second oldest zoo in the United States. Founded on 65 original acres it is nicknamed "The Sexiest Zoo in America" because of its world renowned breeding programs.

One of my favorite exhibits is Giraffe Ridge. It has been completely renovated and you can feed snacks to the Maasai giraffes that reside there. They seem to smile and really appreciate your company!

Take the family and don't forget to visit the Lemur Lookout!

Eden Park

With over 186 acres of park wonderland, Eden Park is the jewel of the Queen City. The park is the home of the Irwin M. Krohn Conservatory, Murray Seasongood Pavilion, Play House in the Park, Cincinnati Art Academy and the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Surounding the Twin Lakes, once an old stone quarry, is one of the best places in the city for a lazy weekend picnic lunch. Don't miss the flash of color in the Hinkle Magnolia Garden in the late Spring. It is one of the most beautiful locations within the park.
