See Here, Now

10 Impressions from a walkabout in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio | May 30, 2023

By Douglas John Imbrogno | may30, 2023 | I mostly grew up in a Cincinnati suburb and the city’s downtown was for decades my playground. I am intrigued by the renaissance, of sorts, it is now experiencing, while the usual daily life and rigors of urban life go on. Here are a few impressions from downtown on a recent overnight there, spent in in a loft five flights up while wearing out my arches on walkabouts down on the streets. | TheStoryIsTheThing.com photography | may24.2023 PS: You can see these photos in larger file sizes at the web version of this roundup at: thestoryisthething.com/2023/05/30/10-impressions/
