Underground Tour


 Since I am not a native Cincinnatian, I have become pretty interesting in knowing the local history here.  And it's a pretty fascinating place.  I bought a Groupon a while back for an Underground Tour.  We've done a few of these in other cities, but they are all different, so we weren't sure what to expect.  

It was a pretty quick tour that showed some of the oldest buildings in the Over-the-Rhine district (the initial German area).    It ended in showing us one of the old brewery tunnels where they stored the lager.  It had a really cool way of cooling the tunnels even more than they naturally are thru water in the metal tubes on tob and side chimney like sides to let the warm air out.  

I'm so glad that Cincinnati is working on revamping a lot of these old buildings.  They have the most historical buildings than any other place in the country (per the guide).
