Cincy Sunset's

I've always thought the Conservatory was beautiful at dusk through the tree's now I have the photo to prove it! I hope you enjoy exploring all the parks in Cincinnati as we do . Buy a park district pass it's a great deal and is worth the small fee.

Indian Summer

We got some wonderful photo's today in our queen city treasure Eden park . These pictures shot in Memorial Grove where the tree's are dedicated to the presidents of the United States of America. I couldn't help but catch the tower again too , it's as you can see a favorite subject .

We Salute Our Veterans

The copper top was removed in World War II ... this pic taken just before completion of the tower October 9th ,1893.(see more below)

The Water tower in Eden Park designed by the renowned Hannaford & Sons was made in 1894 to look like a castle keep...gargoyles,spiral staircase,and hand operated elevator to boot. For a mere nickel during Cincinnati's "Golden Age " patrons could ride the elevator to the top of the turret to an observation platform 997 feet above sea level .It functioned as a pressure tank to pump water to Walnut Hills . It was also used as a secret Police sub-station(more on this later) and by 1912 it was no longer in use.The copper sheathed steeple was scraped during WWII as a donation to the war efforts. The beautiful structure still commands the view at Eden Park and perhaps with some luck one day it will be open to the public again (hint,hint)

Cincinnati Reds vs. Phillies

The beloved Cincinnati Reds will be throwing the first pitch in about an hour . We hope you have a place to view the game in Philadelphia . The Phillies probable pitcher is Oswalt so no need to fear the repeat of the shut out game that Holiday  had against our home team . For more info and game highlights you can check with the official reds homepage at this link  Cincinnati Reds . Arroyo will be pitching for the Reds and were all behind the home team . You can listen or watch at the homepage and there's lots of great links to Reds blogs and sign up for the Redlegs newsletter delivered directly to your e-mail.  There's still tickets available for the game here in Cincinnati on Sunday . Parking may prove to be a challenge because of multiple events scheduled so come early to score a good parking space they'll be few and far between and expect to pay a little more too. The Bengals game , Reds game and Disney on ice should make for a real parking and traffic nightmare check-up with The Chronicle and get all the traffic in real time Enjoy the perfect weather and GOOD LUCK REDS !!!!
