Welcome to the 1912 Cincinnati Hobo Convention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Panic of 1910-11 was a minor blip compared to many other recessions and depressions in United States history. The economic damage that year was largely confined to stock portfolios. Unemployment remained almost steady. Still, there were a lot of people out of work and, as the Panic eased in 1912, hundreds of those unemployed men descended on Cincinnati, seeking jobs and better working conditions. Because they were unemployed and traveling to look for work, they were called hobos. They called
Revisiting 50 Years of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Way back in 1976, Cincinnati’s Downtown Council announced a brand-new event. With less than a month’s notice, the council decreed that Oktoberfest would occupy Fountain Square and Government Square for a weekend that October. The Enquirer editorialized support for the idea but noted that the proposal was “overdue.” And overdue it most certainly was. What took Cincinnati—or, excuse me, Zinzinnati—so long? As early as October 1972, City Council adopted a motion by Mayor Thomas Luken to sponsor an
Did a Cincinnatian Invent the Light Bulb? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who invented the electric light? You are forgiven if you think it was Thomas Edison.

Read excerpt
John May was the unlikely inspiration for Cincinnatiâs first tailgating event, and he was one bad dude. After plunging a dagger into the heart of his erstwhile drinking buddy Wat Sullivan in 1797, May was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang from a gallows erected at Fifth and Main streets. A crowd estimated to top 8,000 soon gathered, largely conveyed by farm wagons from the rural districts. Cincinnatiâs total population at the time was 700, so one might assume the farmers packed lunch
The Demon Bathtub of Cincinnati (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Is there a mystic and fatal influence which has its dwelling in the tile-floored, modern bathroom at Fourth & Sycamore streets?” That was the question posed by the Cincinnati Enquirer [November 8, 1898] when the nude body of a woman was discovered at the Alta Flats. The city gasped as details emerged about the unfortunate casualty, drowned in the bathtub of an apartment in which she did not reside. The Alta Building, constructed in 1883, was a respectable residence on the southwest corner of Sy
