Dr. Know: Chickens, Pet Cemeteries, and Abandoned Theme Parks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I live in South Cumminsville. A few doors away from me are people who have about four chickens in their yard, squawking and pooping, etc. I’m sure this was legal in Cincinnati long ago, but is it still? All I ever hear about chickens is how filthy they are. Should I report these people? —CHICKEN HAWK-TUAH DEAR TUAH:The Doctor has much to unpack here.

That’s because your neighbor’s grandfather spent his childhood fishing a

Read excerpt
The May issue of Cincinnati Magazine had a nice pictorial of new apartments in a part of Over-the-Rhine that used to be called Filmer’s Row. Was Cincinnati a Midwest branch of Hollywood long ago? Was there even more location filming here than happens now? —AAAND, ACTION! DEAR AAAND:Cincinnati was once Hollywood’s “Midwest branch” only in the sense of storing and distributing the thousands of giant reels that theaters projected, rewound, and returned. These “film exchanges” originally operated in
