 the stadium they blew up by ochera While Cincinnati does have racial problems. It is by far not a dangerous city. Over the Rhine can be a rough neighborhood that needs a lot of rehab. The only problem with Cincinnati is that the leaders would rather tear down a perfectly good stadium and waste money building a new one for a team that can't even win a game. Sadly all that money could have been used for rehab in areas of town like Over the Rhine, or even to build and renovate our schools which so badly need help. Anyway, to sum things up, Cincinnati is a wonderful place to visit, it is not dangerous, as long as you use common sense. Leave a Comment Website: cincyusa.com

 One of Cincinnati's Worst Neighborhoods by Stephen-KarenConn Cincinnati has the sixth lowest crime rate of any major American city, according to a recent survey, but it has gotten a bad rap in the media. We were surprised (shocked) when in London, England, a couple of years ago to learn that potential travelers there were being warned not to go to Cincinnati. We live just outside of Cincinnati and go into the city often with never a second thought for our safety. Sometimes we even go downtown after dark to a concert or other event and feel no need for undue concern. Cincinnati is no more dangerous than any other city of its size. Sure, there is crime here, but it is almost never directed at tourists. Just use common sense. If you frequent the run-down sections of town after dark, where large groups of young men loiter on the streets and many of the businesses are boarded up, and you are looking to buy illegal drugs or pick up a prostitute, you are taking a risk. Most of Cincinnati is perfectly safe for law abiding citizens. Leave a Comment

 Say No to Crack by frankcanfly Like all cities, Cincinnati has it's problem with drugs. I happened to be sitting in my car in the parking lot of a bowling alley in Norwood, when this bust 'went down' right outside my window.... It was quite exciting! Leave a Comment

by Cincinnati1313 Cincinnati doesn't have the worst winters of all time but Cincinnati is a city located on hills. If you are not good at driving in ice or snow while going up or down hills you might want to skip Cincinnati in the winter time. Leave a Comment

by Cincinnati1313 Cincinnati is a good place to live and has many good characteristics. But on the con list Cincinnati has a growing crime rate. Cincinnati isn't as dangerous as many other US cities but you still need to use big city common sense and ask the locals what areas you should avoid. The best advice I could give you is not to look people in the eyes and if you have money don't flash it. Most of all don't try and be a hard guy. If your a visitor and staying in the downtown area, just ask any valet or doorman which areas to avoid and you should be fine. I work 2 jobs in downtown and the crime has only gotten worse. Don't leave anything in sight in your car that you wouldn't want stolen and don't carry to much money on you. Leave a Comment

If you plan to stay in or around Cincinatti during the summer weekends plan well ahead for lodging. It seems there is something going on all summer long and rooms are hard to find. Leave a Comment

If this is your first time driving to Cincinnati, be careful on the hill coming down from Kentucky (the airport is there) towards the Ohio river. There are lots of wrecks there. It could be the combination of going downhill, turning a corner, and the sudden appearance of a great view of downtown as you round that downhill corner. It can also be icy in wintery conditions. http://www.cincinow.com/news/traffic/index.shtml Leave a Comment

From what I've been told, Cincinnati, downtown, is not so safe anymore at night. This is due in part to the recent racial tensions that have stemmed greatly from the fairly recent shooting of an unarmed black 17 year-old who was running from police. Maybe you remember the rioting after that? Anyway, apparently tensions are still high. I believe much of this is happening in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, which I've been told is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. Leave a Comment
