Streetcar Fun

Mt. Adams Incline in the distance as viewed from 4th & Vine in the 1920’s
Streetcar promotion

“Observation Cars” offered scenic rides around the Queen City for a mere 25 cents during the Summer months.
“Highwater Cars” were developed in response to several large floods. These enabled the transportation of people who were in flood-stricken areas of the city.
Fountain Square around 1925
Eden Park entrance in 1905. After stability concerns this streetcar route was moved to Gilbert Avenue, with the bridge later removed.
Downtown streetcar loop plan connecting with several of the nearby suburbs. It’s funny how history repeats itself.

If you’ve enjoyed these photos, feel free to browse through the rest of the photos I’ve uploaded from the late 19th and early-mid 20th Centuries. You can view the full Photobucket album here, or you can choose to check out the annotated photo thread I’ve posted on UrbanOhio.

Looking the Queen Up & Down

I was so lucky to be extended the offer to go up on the Atrium II tower’s top level terraces. There were some terrific views that I had not seen before. I was able to get some great aerial shots of construction progress at The Banks and Queen City Square.

The day was somewhat gray, but the photos turned out pretty well considering the conditions. I especially found the views of the Licking River to be most enjoyable, as it is not often that you can get an overview of all its twists and turns through the hills and valleys of Northern Kentucky. Feel free to view the slideshow below, go to the Photobucket gallery, or read through the annotated photo thread I’ve posted on UrbanOhio.

A view inside the famed Emery Theatre

The Emery Theatre has seen better days. Originally constructed as an auditorium for the Ohio Mechanics Institute, it was later home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra until they moved to Music Hall in 1937. The theatre was even compared to Carnegie Hall by Leopold Stokowski, and is condiered an acoustically pure venue.

There have been recent efforts to restore this gem. The most recent of which was an outing by Give Back Cincinnati to help clean up the venue. This enabled some new people to get inside the treasured theatre for the first time in many years. You can get more great historical information, on the theatre, at UrbanUp. You can also view more photos (14), like the one here, on the Emery Theatre page there.

Great urban scene

I thought this was an excellent photograph by 5chw4r7z, and I found it to be a quintessential ‘urban’ scene. It is a scene from the rooftop terrace on Jean-Robert’s Over-the-Rhine restaurant – Lavomatic. Check out some more photos in the same post by 5chw4r7z.

South Florida wanderings

As some of you might know I haven’t been around Cincinnati lately. I’ve been on the road, on business, for about a month now. My travels took me all across Florida and gave me the opportunity to photograph some new (to me) places. I even got to see a couple alligators (sorry no pictures). So please sit back, relax and enjoy some of my favorite photos from my journeys across South Florida.

If you would like you can browse all of the photos from each one of my Florida stops. Photos are from the following cities: Miami (Downtown, Miami Beach), Naples, Tampa (Downtown, Ybor City), and St. Petersburg.
