I worked for the Ferry for 10 years and since have retired. The question I was asked the most was…read more" Can the Ferry sink? " As any vessel on the water it can sink. However, with the barge and tow design along with very capable captains and crew the chances of that happening is very slim. In the 10 years I worked there I never had a serious incident. It was an honor to run the vessels and serve the many passengers.

I was this-many-days old when I learned about the Anderson Ferry, a historic ferry that connects…read moreNorthern Kentucky to Ohio, just a few minutes from where I grew up. And you think you know a place, right? Anyway, I was enamored by this small ferry, which my family and I took today to get to a restaurant on the other side of the river. We pulled up and waited for the ferry to make its way across to us, and during that time, I looked up the Anderson Ferry's site to learn about its history. Did you know: * The ferry is more than 200 years old. * The first ferry was made of wood, and the paddlewheels turned as horses walked along a treadmill. * It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. * Depending on where you need to go, this ferry can be a good way to bypass traffic on the interstate. * It was once an important way for farmers to take their goods to market. There are no horses involved in the ferry nowadays. We were efficiently loaded in our cars onto the ferry, which can contain more cars that you would think. A ferry employee then went car to car for the $5 fee. You can also pay 50 cents if you want to ride along and traverse the river on foot or $1 to cross with a bike. The ferry is cash only. It took about five minutes or so to make it across, and disembarkment was also quick. It's clear that this ferry is a meaningful and important part of Northern Kentucky, which I'm happy that I now know about.

Known as "Cincinnati's other abandoned subway system," Riverfront Transit Center was built in 2003…read moreunderneath Second Street and remains unused except for rare occasions. A half-mile long tunnel was originally created as a public transportation hub for visitors to the stadiums, Freedom Center, and other riverfront attractions. Despite being city property, it is normally off-limits to the public. That's a shame, because it is gorgeous and underutilized. Similar to the design plans for the unfinished 1920s Cincinnati Subway System, the Riverfront Transit Center boasts tiled walls filled with mosaics representative of the Queen City. From baseball, to stained glass windows, to cooking, and our machine tool history, the northern wall of the tunnel is covered in these Art Deco inspired murals. While they may not be made of Rookwood tile, they certainly come close as a modern equivalent. The Riverfront Transit Center is not a failed transit project; it is structurally complete but is not being used to its full potential. Currently, it could be used to decrease stadium and bus traffic along Second Street. The design is also able to support light rail if ever implemented in the area. While you may never see below the street level of the RTC, the portals to the underground hub are visible along Second Street. Just look for the futuristic glass entryways. The doors may be locked, but those dark stairwells descend into a tunnel of opportunities.

She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, well-spoken and funny. You'd never guess she is 48!! She looks and acts much younger. There was a man on the tour that kept trying to ride next to her but she handled it professionally and with grace. I plan on booking another tour soon. Next tour is in Mason. I heard she takes you around Main Street but to the cemetery as well. Thanks for a great afternoon!!

A free streetcar between Findlay Market and the river via Washington Park and downtown…read more The Connector is a free accessible streetcar on a 18-stop line north and south through Cincinnati's OTR district. We hopped on at a stop on Elm Street in view of the west end of Findlay Market (May 2026). The stop had a ramp at both ends up to the level of the streetcar, and a small 3-sided shelter and bench. Inside the brightly-decorated clean car there were accessible spaces at the center doors, with about 40 seats overall and room for about 100-more standing. The seats were hard but comfortable. The car was clean and bright. The streetcars were not at all crowded midday on a weekday. Through end-to-end windows, we enjoyed seeing a number of the hundreds of colorful creative murals of all sorts that decorate the city. We rode the whole 3.6-mile circuit, past various clusters of restaurants, stores, groceries, and offices. At the south end, the stop also had a small 3-sided shelter and bench, and had no need for ramps. We took a stroll less than ten minutes to a row of swings that overlook the river! Cool! Then back up to walk around the green-spaces and playgrounds of Washington Park in west-OTR. The park stop had ramps and a small bench, but no shelter. We waited under nearby trees for a little shade. We ended our tour at Jane's bar back at Findlay Market, just past that streetcar stop. All the way, we used a transit app which did a good job of showing the location of the four-or-five streetcars, with accurate arrival-times at the stops where we waited. This was a great air-conditioned no-cost way to get around and see some of the sights of these parts of Cincinnati :-)
