The BEST rib joint in Cincy is gone now. That was THE BARN/RIB PIT.. a former speakeasy in an alley between 5th and 6th and maybe Walnut. Might have been Gano Alley in fact... Was an unbelievable joint with live music and a cast of characters like you wouldn't believe... Reds and other visiting ballplayers, especially the veteran guys from teams in town, would hang there late at night. There and The Precinct... Damn.. I had so much fun living in Cincy it should have been against the law. (Oh wait.. a lot of it WAS against the law...)

You would hate it now Kasept, no one, I mean no one goes downtown anymore. After the riots in 2001, the Police Force has been handcuffed and crime and killings are rampant, setting new highs every year. When I was in College, we were always down at Main Street or in Mount Adams, it's a ghost town now. I live in Westwood, have a nice old house(small), the Gamble Estate is right up the street from me, but two streets over there's murders almost every other week. My company is relocating and I will be with it, very soon...
