Introducing Cincinnati
Cincinnati has such a colorful past for such a fogyish city (Mark Twain said he wanted to be here when the world ends, as the city is always 20 years behind the times). The 1970s saw Jerry Springer become mayor, elected after he was caught paying for a hooker with a check. Going back further, the town was known as Porkopolis because of its salted-pork-packing plants. It was also an important center for the antislavery movement and the Underground Railroad.

So what’s here now? Well, it’s a good place to catch a baseball game and ride a paddle wheel boat on the swift-moving Ohio River. Mt Adams, whose twisting streets lead to one of the city’s best hilltop views, is a great old neighborhood to explore. So are über-cool Northside and cobblestoned Covington. And if you’re feeling frisky, Cincy’s the city to join in a five-way. Yeah, baby!
