Cincinnati calls itself the "Queen City," which is a much more attractive name than "Porkopolis," as it was nicknamed when it was a major pork packing center at the turn of the last century. Work or pleasure has taken me to Cincinnati on a regular basis over the years. Its a great family town to visit. It has good museums, sports, and an attractive downtown area that is especially fun to visit near the Christmas holidays. The worst thing about visiting Cincinnati is all the road construction near the new football stadium, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, see warning below. If you are planing a trip, a great source of information is the web page published by the city's two newspapers. It lists attractions, dining and hotel reviews, and up to the minute infomation of things to do when you come to visit. http://cincinnati.com/
