Enquirer staff writer
f we could collapse time and space to bring together newsworthy Cincinnatians, living or dead, to celebrate The Enquirer’s 165 years in the news business, it would make for a supertalented, and raucous,
roomful: Steven Spielberg and Harriet Beecher Stowe might be chatting up Dr. Albert Sabin and the Naked Cowboy. Over there, Ruth Lyons and Dr. Daniel Drake might be cornering Ted Turner, Paul Brown and William Howard Taft. In another circle, Powel Crosley and Mary Emery might be testing out a few new ideas on John Roebling, Marian Spencer and William Procter. In yet another, Rod Serling could be trying out his “Twilight Zone” routine on Judge Deidre Hair, Barney Kroger, Oscar Robertson, Daniel Carter Beard and Neil Armstrong. Don’t assume they’d have little to say to one another. Besides calling Cincinnati home (at one time or another) and having graced the pages of The Enquirer, all have something else in common. They were, or are, innovators.
WHERE WE’VE BEEN
People used to sizing up Cincinnati as a snapshot and not a movie may not think of it as a source of innovation. Even some of us at The Enquirer may linger over Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky shortcomings, or obsess about the glacial pace of projects such as the Banks, while forgetting feats such as the Roebling Suspension Bridge (in 1866 the world’s longest, first truly modern suspension bridge) or the $314 million “move” of Fort Washington Way in 2000. Spare us the jokes about Cincinnati being 10 years behind the times. The Enquirer’s 165 years of publishing tell a very different story. Not that it’s always easy to report innovation – or significance. An innovator’s full record of accomplishment isn’t likely to manifest itself in a single day’s edition, any more than one could have taken the full measure of Cincinnati from the “Daily Cincinnati Enquirer’s” very first printing on April 10, 1841. Who among those shopping in young Barney Kroger’s Sixth Street grocery in the early 1880s expected it to mushroom into a giant national supermarket chain, with $60.6 billion in sales in 2005? Or that a little Ivory Soap company started by two immigrants in 1837 would someday morph into a manufacturer of 17 global billion-dollar brands? Just add water and stir? Who knew little Stevie Spielberg growing up in Cincinnati and playing with his papa’s movie camera would someday direct worldwide hits such as “E.T.,” “Jurassic Park” and “Schindler’s List”? Of course some ingenious Cincinnatians such as WLW founder Powel Crosley seemed almost born entrepreneurial. With a couple of his products, he was ahead of his time. In 1939, long before Toyota’s Prius or $3-a-gallon gas, the Cincinnati industrialist was manufacturing thousands of fuel-miser minicars called (what else?) the Crosley. Where Cincinnati has made 218 trips around the sun, The Enquirer has made 165. It, too, has been an innovator in chronicling this region, even if it did take till 1898 before news photos showed up on its pages. One of the most gifted collaborations in the history of journalism may have taken place in 1874 when The Enquirer’s Lafcadio Hearn reported on the Tanyard murder case and artists Frank Duveneck and Henry Farny illustrated. The Enquirer was one of only six newspapers in 1903 that had the smarts to report the Wright brothers’ first flight at Kitty Hawk. Winsor McCay

T
ony Lang is an Enquirer editorial writer and Editorial Board member. A native Cincinnatian, he remembers as a schoolboy taking a class trip downtown to see a re-release of “Gone with the Wind” at the Albee Theater, back when it was still a resplendent movie palace and not an architectural detail on the south wall of the Convention Cenbegan his career as an Enquirer comics illustrator and later originated the animated movie cartoon. The Enquirer’s editorial cartoonist, Jim Borgman, not only has won the Pulitzer and every other major prize in the trade, but also co-produces his own top comic strip, “Zits.” Enquirer ownership also has taken some heady flights, including when the empire-building McLeans added the Washington Post to their holdings in 1905. In 1952, the employees got into the act and bought The Enquirer for $7.6 million. It never was “just a paper.” Its commercial printing operation, spun off in 1867, evolved into U.S. Playing Card Co. Today, as part of the Gannett chain, The Enquirer’s Cincinnati.Com Web site draws more than 2.5 million online visitors a month and more than 30 million page views. According to the Media Audit, Cincinnati.Com’s monthly reach in a local market is second only to that of washingtonpost.com.
WHO GOT US HERE
To help celebrate The Enquirer’s 165 inquisitive years, we asked readers to vote their online picks for Cincinnati’s greatest cultural heroes, most significant scientists, best presidents, top coaches, most
ter. There were still a few Empress chili stands around town in those days, along with Crosley Field, a fully loaded Coney Island and outdoor opera performances at the Zoo, where singers gamely struggled to be heard above obstreperous ducks and gibbons. He’s a graduate of St. Xavier High School and Xavier University, before doing graduate work at Brown, which has attracted other Cincinnatians, including Ted Turner. Turner under-appreciated sports figure, and Cincinnatians most likely to still be famous 165 years from now. “Larry Flynt?” You must be joking. Thousands “voted” on our starter lists, or added their own nominees, some in jest. One reader asked in youthful exasperation: “Huh? Who ARE these people?” Yes, Virginia, in 165 years covering newsmakers, expect a few generation gaps. But you don’t need to be a fogey to appreciate Bengals founder Paul Brown for pioneering practice films, the draw play, IQ tests for players, the radio helmet and other innovations. Or to marvel at Mary Emery’s vision in the early 1920s for building, from scratch, the greenbelt model town of Mariemont. For “greatest moment in Cincinnati sports history,” one reader voted for the moment the Bengals hired head coach Marvin Lewis. The final score on that one isn’t in yet, but we’ll stay tuned. Fertility specialist Dr. NeeOo Chin got a maternity-ward full of survey votes. He may have discovered a new way to stuff a ballot box – not only earning the gratitude of childbearing (at last) couples, but also their offspring, who will grow up revering the godlike doctor who helped launch their lives.
left Brown after three years without a degree, but went on to become a multi-billionaire anyway. Lang suspects he must have taken different courses. At The Enquirer, he has been a Sunday magazine feature writer, acting magazine editor, lifestyle columnist, editorial page columnist and editorial writer. He remains incorrigibly optimistic that this region and The Enquirer will evolve by intelligent design.
WHERE WE’RE GOING
Kids sent us fanciful sketches of what they think Cincinnati will be like 165 years from now, in 2171. If they’re right, expect plenty of hovercrafts and moving sidewalks. Some expect disease will be wiped out. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital researcher Dr. Albert Sabin did his part in the 1960s with his oral vaccine that helped nearly eradicate the crippling scourge of polio worldwide. The Enquirer never lavished ink on a more principled innovator. Sabin refused to patent his vaccine, so millions of children globally could be saved. Just last month (and decades of health care patents later), the Supreme Court heard arguments on whether a patent for diagnosing vitamin B12 deficiency is justifiable. Who’s to say which discoveries The Enquirer reports rolling out today of Children’s Hospital, the University of Cincinnati or the Genomic Research Institute may be the next “Sabin vaccine,” or the next Benadryl, which was invented here by Dr. George Rieveschl? Or what might emerge from local dot-coms? The Enquirer over the years has reported on a seemingly inexhaustible series of Cincinnati “firsts”:
Procter & Gamble alone generates more patents than some major cities, and in recent years has been giving patents away, to strategic research universities. Try counting the companies started by former Proctoids. You gotta love a city that can spin off companies and patents – and originals such as Roy Rogers, Pete Rose, Suzanne Farrell, Ted Turner, Rosemary Clooney, James Levine, the Cool Ghoul, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. What other city can claim a TV talk-show host (Ruth Lyons) who wielded more power than a mayor and a former mayor (Jerry Springer) who became a trash TV talk-show host, plus had an opera composed about him? Cincinnati’s King Records spun out hits for more than a quarter century by the likes of James Brown, the Dominoes and Platters. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center still has a shot at becoming a one-of-a-kind historical museum/civic forum/arts center. Whether The Enquirer covered a giant chain like Federated or a fakefur maven like Donna Salyers, attorney Stan Chesley’s latest spin on class-action law or Judge Deirdre Hair’s pioneering of the region’s first drug court, it all added to the heritage of innovation. John James Audubon conceived his elephant folio masterwork in Cincinnati. William Howard Taft is still the only president to later serve as chief justice of the United States. Instead of cashing in on lecture fees or retiring to the golf course, Taft set a standard for distinguished service after the Oval Office. Tall Stacks was a top national tourist attraction right out of the dock. Like Riverfest, Oktoberfest and our other mega-celebrations, the riverboat spectacle (returning this year) is steeped in Cincinnati history and inventiveness. Our riverfronts, universities, governments and businesses have been undergoing makeovers – witness Daniel Libeskind’s futuristic 22-story condo tower rising in Covington – and so is this news and information company called The Enquirer. Cincinnati’s fountain, the Tyler Davidson Fountain, topped by the Genius of Water statue, is also on the move again, and in the next 165 years, it may take another stroll or two about the square. By 2171, it may have evolved into some wildeyed, virtual, multisensory sound and light show. But its story and those of all the innovators, newsmakers and originals who gravitate here will still be great fun to tell.

SOAP TO NUTS & BOLTS
f you can believe the “How We Work” portion of our 165th anniversary survey, Cincinnatians rank money above household products. Imagine that. Under “most important businesses,” Fifth Third Bank left Procter & Gamble and Kroger behind, at a distant second and third, respectively. Respondents turned this category into a banking lovefest.
More than anything else, responses show how the metro’s economic mix is changing. Even a few years ago, who would have expected Toyota to rank a solid fifth on respondents’ Top Businesses list? Newport Steel collected a few votes, but it’s clear Cincinnati’s traditional manufacturing-heavy lineup has undergone a major shift both in the jobs market and the local mind-set. Procter doesn’t even make
The companies we keep
guys making soap and candles, byproducts of all those pigs (see #138 Flying Pigs). Kroger – Everybody who lives here has shopped at Kroger, usually at least once a week. How many other companies can claim that? Western Southern Life Insurance Co. Toyota – Obviously not a local company, but they are growing on us.
I
n many ways this is a company town, or more accurately, a town of companies. Here are the readers’ choices for the five most important to the city’s development and five that will be most important to our future.
The current top companies
Fifth Third Bank – Show us the money. This bank’s fractionated name, the result of a long-ago merger, strikes outsiders as odd. To those of us who live here it’s just part of the way we do business. How much would we protest if they tried to change the math with some future merger? Procter & Gamble – It came in second but P&G is still the No. 1 consumer-products company in the world. It all started with two
Ivory Soap anymore. The accelerating transition to a knowledge-based economy may have left a bit of a lag in public understanding of what’s creating local wealth and who’s driving the local economy. Other than a few exceptions, the “most useful products” list looks decidedly dated. Play-Doh, that ageless delight of children of all ages, did manage to beat out Preparation H. Allergy sufferers tilted toward Dr. George
Rieveschl’s Benadryl. Nobody mentioned Pampers? Carl Lindner, Buddy LaRosa and Richard Farmer were the only living Cincinnatians to crack the “greatest business leaders” list. To the chemists, inventors, geneticists, architects and other researchers laboring in labs or garages here, be consoled. It takes awhile for the world to appreciate how much their lives are enriched. Some graduates
such graduates find ways to keep on giving. The business-leader ratings for Bob Castellini and Mike Brown may rise or fall with each season’s performance of the Reds and Bengals, but some of Cincinnati’s most memorable products and entrepreneurs may only now be aborning in this region’s labs, dot-coms and other high-tech firms not even on the public radar.
other things too. American Financial – Insurance, publishing, banking, investments. Newport Steel
business people: William Procter – The first half of Cincinnati’s most famous partnership. What would life have been like around here if he had taken second billing? Would Cincinnatians routinely refer to G&P? Carl Lindner – The genius behind American Financial, he is as famous locally for the money he gives away as he is for the money he makes. Buddy LaRosa – We all have his number hanging on the refrigerator door and we probably call it more often than we are willing to admit. Truth be told, this is the guy most of us probably would prefer to have dinner with (see #110112). Barney Kroger – Wonder what he would think of a Super Kroger? James Gamble – What’s Procter wihout Gamble?
It came from here #11-13
The three most important things we make here and readers use every day: Ivory Soap – It’s pure, it floats and it won’t irritate your baby’s bottom if you use it to wash diapers. Play-Doh – Is there a kid’s toy chest that doesn’t have at least one can of this colorful goo? You can pull it, stretch it, mold it, build with it and then roll it into a ball and put it back in the can. Fleischmann’s Yeast – It makes the dough rise.
Hometown favorites
American Playing Card – Deal us in. This company has been an integral part of every game from Go Fish to Texas Hold ’Em. LeBlond Machine Tools Procter & Gamble – Did we mention they make just about anything you might need to clean your body or your house? And lots of
move on to make their fortunes elsewhere. We may lose track of them or not know their names, but development officers at University of Cincinnati or Xavier, Northern Kentucky University or Miami sure don’t forget. Whether it’s architect Michael Graves designing a building on UC’s campus or an entrepreneur such as Charlie Gallagher endowing a building on XU’s campus,

‘PETE! PETE! PETE!’
T
he “How We Play” portion of The Enquirer’s 165th anniversary survey turned out heavily “rose-colored” and sports-muscled, to no one’s surprise, although Cincinnatians spend as much on the arts as they do on athletics. For the “greatest sports moment ” – along with Pete Rose’s record-breaking 4,192nd hit, the Big Red Machine’s World Series championships, the 1990 wire-to-
such as Ted Kluszewski or manager Bill McKechnie, or what might have been with another once-young, injured Bengals quarterback, Greg Cook. One of the more intriguing sets of survey responses resulted from the “most underappreciated athlete” question. Out came a litany of names not often heard here anymore: Ernie Lombardi, Gus Bell, Bob Wiesenhahn, Cesar Geronimo, Ed Jucker, Vada Pinson, Dave Concepcion, Ron Oester. Such a
looking after stricken teammate Maurice Stokes. Still another picked for his “greatest moment” the instant when UC men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins was fired. Despite an occasional partisan slam, who could not be impressed by the number of extraordinary athletes and artists who have entertained us here and become a permanent part of local lore? Short memories do not favor the old-timers, but readers didn’t forget Reds standouts
wire season, the Bengals’ 1982 Freezer Bowl against the Chargers and the University of Cincinnati’s back-toback NCAA basketball championships in the early Sixties – some respondents veered off on a more thoughtful road less taken. One proposed for his greatest moment a game at Crosley Field when Jackie Robinson was taking fan abuse and Pee Wee Reese walked over and put his arm around the young rookie. Another respondent recalled Royals great Jack Twyman
question inevitably stirs up still-raw memories of trades considered infamous, ranging from Paul O’Neill and Frank Robinson to more current ones such as Sean Casey. No one is ever going to win a bar bet over whether Cincinnati is becoming more a Bengals than a Reds town, but survey respondents left no doubt whatever about the best annual sporting event: Reds Opening Day clobbered the competition. Jimmy Buffett undoubted-
ly rates as the city’s favorite troubadour in recent years, with the Beatles trailing for “greatest performances” ever here. But Music Hall alone could bury venues in many other cities with its enviable history of unforgettable concerts, operas and May Festivals, not to mention all the other events it’s played host to. It’s good to see, from the “Cincinnati plays” section, that we still haven’t totally withdrawn into our electronic cocoons.

The best of sports
This is a sports town and readers had lots of picks in these categories.
Three greatest sports moments: #19-21
Pete Rose’s hit number 4,192– setting the Major League record. People remember exactly what seat they were in in old Riverfront Stadium when Rose connected with the pitch by San Diego’s Eric Show. They remember the game stopping, the endless ovation and the suddenly very human Charlie Hustle hugging his son with tears running down his cheeks. If you were there you know why Pete Rose will always be thought of as a hero by so many fans. The 1975 Reds World Series Championship over Boston Red Sox – There were snow delays as the series seemed to last forever. But Sparky Anderson and the Big Red Machine achieved immortality among Cincinnati sports legends. Then it was “Wait ‘til next year.” (See #159.) The 1976 Reds World Series Championship over the New York Yankees – The Machine rolled on, smashing the mighty Yankees as though they were Little Leaguers.
The greatest Reds: #22-33
We asked for the eight greatest Reds by position, plus the four greatest Reds pitchers. The Big Red Machine dominated the voting, but a few others managed to crack the lineup. You can argue this one forever. C-Johnny Bench – The only unanimous choice in the surveys. 1B-Tony Perez – Followed closely by Ted Kluszewski. 2B-Joe Morgan SS-Barry Larkin – Just ahead of Davey Concepcion. 3B-Pete Rose OF-Ken Griffey Jr. – Ken Griffey Sr., Dave Parker, Eric Davis and lots of others came close to garnering outfield slots. OF-George Foster OF-Frank Robinson P-Tom Browning P-Tom Seaver P-Don Gullett P-Jim Maloney
All-time greatest Reds team: #34
1975 – Followed closely by the 1976 team, followed closely by the
didn’t play for the Reds or Bengals: #48-50 Oscar Robertson – Who says he was underappreciated? (See #46 and #119.) Roger Staubach Sandy Koufax (Everybody still looks to the big three sports, leaving off the list such luminaries as Andrea Farley, Darrell Pace, Tony Trabert, Steve Cauthen and the truly underappreciated Ezzard Charles.)
The favorite local mascot: #51
Mr. Red – No distinction between the old-time and modern versions.
The Big Red Machine’s engine: Bench, Griffey, Rose, Morgan, Perez, Foster, Geronimo, Concepcion. At bottom: Pete hits No. 4,192. 1990 team. Obviously, winning the World Series is a primary qualification for this honor among fans who completed the survey. (See #20, #21 and #159.)
Three greatest athletes from Cincinnati: #35-37
Oscar Robertson – No question about the greatness of any of these picks, but it is interesting to note that despite being ranked first in this category, the “Big O” also came in No. 1 under “most under appreciated athlete. Go figure. (See #46.) Pete Rose – The ultimate hometown boy. (See#19.) Ken Griffey Jr. – Think about the great athletes readers didn’t put in the top three – Roger Staubach, Dave Parker, Tony Trabert and on and on.
ly based on hope, not stats.
The greatest Bengals quarterback/receiver combination: #39-40
Ken Anderson/Isaac Curtis – They took the Bengals to the team’s first Super Bowl. Boomer Esiason/Cris Collinsworth – Good friends who both still come home to Cincinnati. Carson Palmer/Chad Johnson – Good luck in the future.
Sparky Anderson of the Reds – Nobody was even a close second.
From a fan’s perspective, the greatest sports venue in Cincinnati history: #45
Anthony Munoz – An all-star from the moment he stepped onto the field. Another guy who made Cincinnati his permanent home. A
Crosley Field – Torn down before most of today’s fans were born.
Your pick for the most underappreciated sports figure in Cincinnati history: #46
Oscar Robertson – The “Big O” did it all in the days before super hype. He was followed closely in the reader survey by Ezzard Charles. (See #48 and #119.)
The greatest Bengals quarterback: #38
Boomer Esiason – Outgoing, boyish, charming, still calls Greater Cincinnati home and now a fixture in the sports broadcasting world. Most people don’t remember that his first name is really “Norman.” Boomer just edged out Ken Anderson, the self-effacing gentleman with the great passing arm and general’s vision of the field whom Esiason succeeded.

WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER A
special thanks is due our survey respondents – in the run-up to The Enquirer’s 165th birthday – for reminding us how surprisingly and often hilariously difficult it is to pin down who we are and what makes this Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky piece of the planet special. We asked you to help us sort through The Enquirer’s 165 years of covering this region and select our best and brightest, our most notorious and most notable. This admittedly unscientific sample must be considered, like our history, very much a work in progress,
They were children here: #80-89
Being raised in Cincinnati won’t make you famous, but there are many, many famous people who spent all or parts of their childhoods here. The top 10 among our readers, according to their impact on American culture: Steven Spielberg – Arguably the greatest moviemaker of all time – “Jaws,” “ET,” “Schindler’s List” – the credits just keep rolling. Could the imagination that spawned these gems really have been nurtured in Cincinnati, a town known for being so repressed and behind the times that it is practically prehistoric? Can you say “Jurassic Park?” Ted Turner – The so-called “Mouth of the South,” who came to business fame in Atlanta with CNN and the Braves, actually was a kid in Cincinnati. Roy Rogers – Born Leonard Slye, the King of the Cowboys lived as a child in a house on the Cincinnati riverfront. Happy trails to you. Rosemary Clooney – A native of Maysville, Ky., she got her start singing on local radio stations before becoming a big-time recording artist and movie star. George Clooney – He can’t sing like his Aunt Rosemary, but he sure can act, and direct, and write when it comes to the movies. And “E.R.” has never been the same without him. Annie Oakley – Legend has it that this Darke County native, then Phoebe Anne Mozee, was visiting relatives in Cincinnati when she decided to adopt the name of a local neighborhood for her stage name.
but the results are nonetheless fascinating and the survey well worth repeating at some later date. Hollywood producer-director Steven Spielberg might be surprised to hear he was the top pick for current or former Cincinnatians, living or dead, who most shaped U.S. culture. CNN founder Ted Turner, who spent his earliest years here in Avondale and later became the largest private landowner in the U.S., came in second on the survey. The range of responses took some sharp culture-bending swings, with nominations of singers Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Andy Williams and
singing cowboy Roy Rogers, ballerina Suzanne Farrell and maestro James Levine, poet Nikki Giovanni and funk musician Bootsy Collins. For better or worse, Jerry Springer also made the listings. For most important scientist, fertility specialist Dr. NeeOo Chin even beat out polioconqueror Dr. Albert Sabin. Dr. Daniel Drake, a whirlwind founder of medical schools and other Cincinnati institutions, placed fourth. Medical laser pioneer Dr. Leon Goldman drew some votes. One of the more surprising categories was the person Cincinnatians would most like to invite to dinner. Neil Arm-
strong took top spot, no doubt thanks to avid autographseekers. Carl Lindner Jr. came in second, ahead of Pete Rose, Marge Schott and Justice Potter Stewart. Even starcrossed Gen. Arthur St. Clair got some votes. Survey respondents wanted to hear how he would explain his casualty counts. Respondents almost unfailingly came up with creative additions of their own for each survey question, and this dinner date query was no exception. Shawnee chief Tecumseh and bluesman Big Ed Thompson got some votes. Armstrong also had the right stuff to ace the competition for likeliest to be still fa-
mous 165 years from now, beating out Pete Rose, Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis, Ruth Lyons and Oscar “Big O” Robertson. Some expect Cardinal Joseph Bernardin to make the year 2171 cut by qualifying for sainthood. Cincinnati’s perennial split between the humorous and the humorless showed up again in our survey. Under most notorious Cincinnatian, some nominated former Hamilton County commissioner Bob Bedinghaus. Others asked: “Are you trying to be funny?” Nominations for most notable building ranged from Covington’s Basilica to the Skyline chili parlor at Clifton
Scientific Contributors: #90-99
Lots of people with Cincinnati connections made significant contributions to the world of science. Here are readers’ picks for the top 10:
NeeOo Chin – One of the world’s top fertility specialists, he seemed to get votes from every family he helped. Albert Sabin – While a researcher at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, he developed the oral vaccine that has virtually eliminated polio. Henry Heimlich – The Heimlich Maneuver is one of the most widely known “medical” procedures there is: a quick bear hug from behind that has save countless choking victims. Daniel Drake – Born in 1785, he started the city’s first hospital, first medical school, first museum and first lending library. George Sperti – A world-class researcher, he brought us Preparation H and the ultraviolet sun lamp. O’dell Owens – Like Chin, a fertility specialist with legions of grateful patients. He performed the
The great outdoors: #144-146
— Tony Lang
Civil-rights pioneers Donald and Marian Spencer
Sarah Jessica Parker – The “Sex in the City” girl was a student at Cincinnati’s School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Andy Williams – Long before he started singing “Moon River,” he was living by the banks of the Ohio. He once said the best years of his life were spent in Cheviot. Other (Other cultural impacters include Doris Day, Nick Lachey, Bootsy Collins, Larry Flynt, and one vote for Jerry Springer.) James Levine– One of the world’s leading conductors, he grew up here and debuted with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at age 11.
The five top artistic monuments, according to readers: Genius of Water – The lady on the fountain. The Old Lefthander down at Great American Ball Park – Joe Nuxhall forever! Bob Castellini was right to let him keep broadcasting. Cincinnatus at Bicentennial Commons – Now he was a strong mayor. Romulus and Remus nursing from the wolf at Mount Adams Overlook. The beardless Lincoln in Lytle Park – Pensive, serene, youthful.
and Ludlow. It’s clear Cincinnatians have an unhealthy fascination with the landfill Mount Rumpke (“A tourist attraction in the making!”). But at least Mount Adams handily beat out the dump for Cincinnati’s favorite hill. For “favorite statue,” one respondent nominated “the guy strangling a duck in Eden Park.” (It’s actually an Asian fisherman using a diving bird that brings up small fish but can’t swallow them.) But that’s part of the charm of this town: Just when you think you know it cold, you find there’s so much more to learn.

first successful in-vitro fertilization in Cincinnati. Leon Goldman – A pioneer in the use of laser beams in medical procedures. Evelyn Hess – A pioneering researcher in the treatment of arthritis and AIDS. Earladeen Badger – Renowned pediatrician and psychologist. And a host of others running from Neil Armstrong to George Rieveschl, the inventor of Benadryl.
Local and still loved: #100-102
Three top local TV personalities. Ruth Lyons – First Lady of Broadcasting and host of local television’s 50-50 Club for many years. “Uncle Al” Lewis – Playing the accordion and wearing a straw skimmer, he entertained generations of Cincinnati children on television.
Bob Braun – Ruth Lyons’ protégé, he went on to be a popular television host in his own right.
From Cincinnati to Washington: #103-109
Seven presidents with Cincinnati connections, in order of their significance: William Howard Taft – The biggest, and the family name has staying power. Ulysses S. Grant – A better general than a president. Wrote a great autobiography. William Henry Harrison – “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” was one of the first presidential campaign slogans. Alas, the old Indian fighter caught cold during his inaugural and died after just a month in office. James Garfield – Popular and bright, he died by assassination. Benjamin Harrison – Not as
famous as his Grandpa Bill, he was a Civil War general and served one term between the two of Grover Cleveland. Rutherford B. Hayes James Buchanan – Nominated in a convention here, but actually from Pennsylvania.
A great dinner party: #110-112
Here are three famous Cincinnatians you’d most like to have dinner with in a private dining room at the Maisonette if the Maisonette were still serving and the Enquirer were buying. But would they have anything to say to each other?: Neil Armstrong – Almost twice as many votes as the nearest tablemate. (See #113.) Carl Lindner – A huge name in finance. (See #15.) Pete Rose – Hey Pete! How ’bout them Reds? (See #19 and #26.)
Other nominees included Rod Serling, Pigmeat Jarrett and Peter Frampton
Being famous vs. staying famous: #113-122
Fame is frail and fleeting, but here are 10 Cincinnatians readers expect will still be famous 165 years from now. Neil Armstrong – For as long as the moon shines in the sky. (See #110.) Pete Rose – Will he be in the Hall of Fame by then? (See #19, #26 and #112.) Simon Leis Jr. – The bad guys will always speak his name with dread. Jim Bunning – The only perfectgame pitcher in the Senate. Marge Schott – She really was one-of-a-kind. (See #125.) Roy Rogers – A cowboy who rides, shoots and sings. (See #82.)
Oscar Robertson – He can’t really be the most underappreciated athlete. (See #35 and #46.) And several who already have stood the test of time, including: Henry Farny – His paintings go for millions of dollars today. Harriet Beecher Stowe – Author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Margaret Garner – Her story will never grow old.
Scandalously famous: #123-125
There’s famous, and then there is notorious. Readers’ top three in the latter category are: Jerry Springer – The former mayor just nosed out the publisher of Hustler. Larry Flynt – Out-hustled by Jerry. Marge Schott – Colorful as she was, she was too nice to be in this crowd. (See #117.)
Wish they were from somewhere else: #126-128
Too bad to be notorious, these three are just plain evil: Charles Manson – Raised here but did his deeds elsewhere. Donald Harvey – The Angel of Death hospital serial killer. Posteal Laskey – The Cincinnati Strangler.
You’ll want to see these places: #129-133
Readers point to the five most distinctive buildings in town. They left out anything modern. Union Terminal – Art Deco train station now a museum. Music Hall – Has hosted everything from prize fights and basketball games to the symphony and opera, and even a presidential convention or two, not to mention an
artificial ski slope. Krohn Conservatory – The greatest of glass houses. Carew Tower – The tallest building in town. Go to the observation deck on top for the best view in town. The Elephant House at the Cincinnati Zoo – Our own Taj Mahal.
Monuments to ingenuity: #134-138
Not exactly buildings, but five structures readers are most proud to point out: Roebling Suspension Bridge – Just wait to see what color they are going to paint it. This was the model for the Brooklyn Bridge. Tyler Davidson Fountain – The fountain on Fountain Square, it was given to the city so thirsty people would have a place downtown to get a drink.
Mount Adams Incline – Wish it were still there. We should bring all the Inclines back. The Cincinnati subway system – Never used, but a silent reminder of public waste and corruption. It also makes a nifty bat cave under Central Parkway. The Flying Pigs pillars at Bicentennial Commons – This commemoration of our Porkopolis heritage caused a huge controversy when unveiled almost 20 years ago. Critics seemed to want depictions that were more smiling Piggly Wigglies. What they got were panicked swine who appeared to be winging it toward heaven one step ahead of the barbecue spit. Alas, the city came to love these porkers, so much so that flying pigs have become Cincinnati’s unofficial mascots.
Statuesque imagery: #139-143
We love our green space. These are readers’ three favorite parks: Eden Park – Once a vineyard, now the home of the Playhouse and Cincinnati Art Museum and great views. Sharon Woods – Sharon Woods Village is a great place to see Cincinnati as it was. Bicentennial Commons – Check out the pigs and the flood marker. (See #138 and #154.)
Which seven hills? #147-153
This is a city of seven hills – actually more like 17, but here are readers’ favorite seven: Mount Adams – Home of Eden Park (See #144.) Price Hill – The West Side. Mount Auburn Walnut Hills – No fair, this is more than one hill. Clifton Heights – Another multiple. Mount Healthy – People moved to this suburb to escape a cholera epidemic. Mount Rumpke – Come on, folks. This mountain is a manmade pile of trash, but it still came in at No. 7.

n 165 trips around the sun, The Enquirer has been reporting and recording how we cope in ways great and small – from grave calamities to the most harmless of guilty pleasures. Survey respondents voted overwhelmingly for the 1937 flood as our greatest calamity – not the departure of Bob Huggins for Kansas. The historians among us
did not overlook early cataclysms, such as the 1884 Courthouse riot that reduced a significant portion of Cincinnati’s earliest written records to toast. One of the crowd-control devices used to disperse an impassioned mob was a Gatling gun. Imagine the public reaction if police resorted to such a weapon today. In this city of fests, the summer-closing celebration
of Riverfest still ranks as king, at least among survey respondents. Cincinnati’s Bicentennial celebration ranked a strong second. The Beast was rated best roller coaster, Hudepohl the best local beer, and brats beat metts with almost twice as many votes. “Dark-horse” Dixie chili beat the rest of the field, but among other questions that arise from that remarkable vote of confidence,
we wonder how many Cincinnati/Northern Kentuckians are still alive who remember Empress chili. Our celebratory survey hardly scratched the surface at suggesting the multitude of ways we “cope” as a community, besides dinner-and-amovie, the occasional Blues Fest, tennis Masters tourney or some group therapy at the neighborhood bar. The options are almost as varied as
The three biggest disasters we’ve survived: #154-156
The 1937 flood – Check out the high-water marks on St. Rose Church in the East End. This is a river town and we have been dealing with the river’s rise every year since Benjamin Stites and his band put ashore near the mouth of the Little Miami 218 years ago. Sometimes the river gets so high the towboats have trouble getting under the bridges. There are families in some of our low-lying neighborhoods who routinely move their furniture to the second floor every spring. But 1937 was a record. Third Street was awash. Oil fires burned on the surface of Mill Creek. A disaster to remember. popular. Ballpark vendors used The 1997 flood – If you lived to shout: “Get moody with Huin Falmouth, Ky., or Cincinnati’s dy!” East End, this one was huge. If Wiedemann – A faded memory you were old enough to rememfrom Northern Kentucky. ber 1937 you told everybody over and over what a really big flood The best of the wurst – was like.

The 1974 tornadoes – Wind is our other big natural enemy hereabouts. If you ever see a funnel cloud, don’t stand there gaping. Head for the basement. In April 1974, a group of twisters cut through the West Side and up through Butler and Warren counties. Xenia was flattened. The winds left shattered buildings and broken lives for miles around.
Yes, this is chili and your favorite is: #164
Greater Cincinnati’s greatest roller coaster: #160
The Beast – It’s wooden, it roars, it rattles, it’s the star of the show at Kings Island and it is way better than all the rest. The Shooting Star that once graced Coney Island was second place, and the loop-de-loop Vortex at Kings Island also got plenty of votes. But nothing beats the thrill of the Beast.
The best two local brews: #161-162
Hudepohl – Hands down and bottoms up, this was the most
Dixie – over Skyline by almost 3-1. People from Texas and other far-off lands bemoan its sweetness and lack of fire, but Cincinnati chili is an acquired taste with its cosmic blend of chocolate and cinnamon. Don’t stop with a three-way; go all the way with a five-way and then shake on the hot sauce. Don’t forget to ask for a bib. Your necktie will thank you.

We cope at our rec centers or glass-strewn corner lots, our spas or yoga classes, and some of us are still dreaming up new diversions, like walking across the Ohio River on top of the Purple People Bridge. It’s that kind of ferment and forward motion that keeps The Enquirer engaged in telling this region’s stories.
brats or metts: #163
That was some party – Cincinnati’s biggest celebrations: #157-159
Riverfest any year – Every year the crowds and the fireworks seem to get bigger. When the fest was marred by drunken rowdiness, a lot of the local jurisdictions restricted or eliminated alcohol sales. The crowds got calmer and bigger. If you have a balcony or deck with a view of the river, you will discover you have lots of friends you never even heard of. Riverfest, Cincinnati’s annual Labor Day Weekend end-of-summer salute, got four times the votes of VE Day for the city’s biggest celebration. Cincinnati Bicentennial and birth of Tall Stacks – After 200 years, Cincinnati rediscovered its riverboat heritage in 1988. The convergence of paddle wheelers at the public landing has been a much-anticipated periodic celebration ever since. The 1975 World Series – People went wild when the Reds defeated Boston. They didn’t care that the weather had turned wintry. They mobbed Fountain Square. Nobody could remember such a victory. Then, in 1976, they won the Series again. (See #20 and #21.)

ton; you’ll see the teens rolling a poor round at a bowling alley, eating bad food and sharing laughs. Think you can ignore this demographic? Try, and sooner or later you’ll be hit with their points of view as they take over
the controls and start driving toward the future. And what a future. We asked a variety of school children to write essays on what Cincinnati will be like 165 years from now.

topia. Paradise. Sanctuary. The sun shines like the gates of heaven over towering edifices that could dwarf the Empire State Building with ease. Mouse-silent trains slide over silver streams weaving throughout the shimmering metropolis. The Ohio River has been purged; one can see straight down to the bed of the river through the crystal-clear waters. Welcome to Cincinnati in the year 2171. The metal Garden of Eden sits over a glistening Ohio River, free of waste and pollution. Fossil fuels have been torn from society’s grasp, and now a
revolutionary source of energy, the plant life, clears the air of absolutely any fumes and presents back to the city fresh oxygen. The only sounds ringing through the bustling Cincinnati are those of the thousands of people on stacks of silver hanging sidewalks. The birds chirp all around. Commercial spacecraft lift off by the second. But paradise only goes as far as the grand walls around the city. Civilization otherwise outside the protection of the city is no more. Having invested everything in the brilliance of the cities such as Cincinnati, all beyond has become a barren wasteland. Devoid of trees, devoid of plants, and devoid of liv-
ing beings, everything outside the great cities of America has been reduced to death and suffering. The city’s grand lights are no more than sparks in the thick darkness of a foggy autumn night. Yet despite this, the city of Cincinnati has grown so gargantuan that almost every person of the Tristate has been able to safely make a life in the metropolis. The sanctuary of the city’s crimeless, grimeless streets and winding walkways provide for the constant peace of mind that humanity dreams of. Even the nights in the alleys do not inspire fear to civilians. Not a single person is left without a home – the only people on the

A
s a young girl glides down what used to be Buttermilk Pike on her hover board, she reflects on the changes in the world over the last 165 years. The path she takes used to be a congested highway, but highways are no longer needed as people travel either by air using their hovercrafts for short distances and elaborate space vehicles for longer commutes. Vacations require space travel to various exotic locations, but Ohio boasts Cloonania and Skyland, an outlandish theme park. She is not flying to or from school, but rather to work. Her job is in a technology center floating above the “street.” She has completed all her necessary
schooling, including college and law school, by the age of thirteen. She speaks four languages: English, Marsonian, two computergenerated languages and has read every modern novel. Her educational experience was created specifically for her learning style and abilities. Her hologram teacher was programmed to lecture in a manner easily understood. Modern electronics made retaining knowledge a matter of recording on a tiny device placed in one’s brain. Books as they were formerly known are obsolete. She never left her house for school, but she did go to play groups to meet kids her age. These children grew up together, enjoyed the same games and
were connected throughout their entire childhoods based on what they were destined for in the future. She never had to make a decision about friends or worry if she would be accepted in high school. She does not worry about what college she will attend or whether she can afford it. Everyone has the same opportunity for a college education. The year is 2171 and over the last century and a half Northern Kentucky has changed drastically. The area has an abundance of gigantic skyscrapers that reach above the clouds. The simple small-town life of the past has been replaced with a bustling metropolis of flying machines and robotic engineers that maintain the city. The girl’s history studies
A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT RUN BY BRAIN WAVES
A
s class ends, all of the sleek, white laptops are gently closed, then slid into computer cases. Luckily, students no longer need heavy textbooks and unwieldy binders. Cincinnati was the first to eliminate paper at school and work. Using computers instead has greatly saved trees and is more environmentally friendly. Ohio took a cue from the Australians and for several decades we have been conserving energy, protecting the land and wildlife, and working toward clean air and water. Organic air dryers dry clothes five times faster, but use only a fifth of the energy compared to the early ’00s. Also, clotheslines are used whenever possible. Small switches on electrical outlets provide electricity when needed. People finally realized the importance of fossil fuels being non-renewable and also, our country was tired of being dependent on other
countries. So now the United States uses renewable energy sources. We use geothermal energy, wind energy, and some energy from the OTEC system. In Cincinnati, most of our energy comes from solar panels, but we also use hydroelectric energy from a dam built in the clean, clear, pollutant-free Ohio River. However, the growing industry of brain-wave energy has a place here in Cincinnati. This type of energy was discovered and harnessed by an inventor from Cincinnati named Benjamin Bray. When someone thinks, the brain waves also can be used as energy to, for example, power a student’s computer. In the old days, this energy was harnessed by wearing a special hat, called a Thinking Cap, but these were quite uncomfortable, so now harmless microchips are implanted into people’s skulls. It is still quite freaky to see someone stare at a microwave and it suddenly turn
on solely from the person’s brainwaves produced by thinking about wanting their food to be hot. Cincinnatians began to question so much useless retail. Organic food became the main diet of Ohioans. McDonald’s went out of business in 2024 and everything went downhill from there for the fast-food industry. Parks for exercise replaced former retail lots. So many parks were added in Ohio, the state became famous for its awesome parks and became a huge tourist attraction. Cincinnati has greatly and dramatically changed for the better. Actually, this year, 2171, Cincinnati won the Best City in America award, for the 43rd time. Continuing on this path, Cincinnati could become the Garden of Eden. — Amanda Kaine 8th grade, Hopewell Junior High School West Chester
WHERE BUILDINGS ARE CRASH-RESISTANT
T
oday, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are flourishing industrial areas as well as great places to live. This will continue into the future for hundreds of years. In the year 2171, the Cincinnati area is going to be very technologically advanced. We currently have many opportunities for jobs and education. The opportunities will skyrocket and we will be the largest
city for employment. The entire skyline that is currently in view in the downtown area will be non-existent. It will be replaced by newer building materials that are resistant to plane crashes and other threats. Our schools will operate on a yearround schedule. This will be the standard and there will be extreme amounts of security. There will be no fights or violence in the schools anymore. This will make
for a better learning environment. Life in this time will be a lot easier. There will be robots to take care of your lawn, trash, and care. You will wake up in the morning and your breakfast will be made and then you will be taken to work or school in a robotic car. I only wish I would be around for those times. — Josh Boehner Scarlet Oaks CDC Deer Park
have taught her the effects of racism and poverty. She and all the people around her believe that all men truly “are created equal” and lead their lives with cultural diversity in mind. Technological advances in agriculture mean that there is abundant food for all people. Hunger has been eliminated from Northern Kentucky and the civilized world at large. Medical advances guarantee she will live to be at least 150 and will enjoy a healthy life. The complexity of machinery is hidden behind the façade of simplicity. — Sarah Fieger Notre Dame Academy Villa Hills
