The 8 Wonders of Cincinnati (Book) - 9/16/2018 8:15:47 PM
What an exciting and comprehensive portrait of the Queen City where I was born and spent my childhood. This book is well written and illustrated. The narrative is a treasure chest blending the city's history, architecture, institutions, and the stories of people who have left indelible footprints across its cultural landscape. In these pages I felt at home at Burnett Woods, Coney Island, Mt. Storm Park, the Art Museum, Music Hall, Fountain Square, the Carew Tower, the Suspension Bridge, and Crosley Field where I attended many Reds baseball games. Equally as thrilling was discovering cultural, architectural and other innovations since I moved away that make Cincinnati unique in our current time. By providing web links for many of the city's features, the author enables readers to journey beyond her pages. For me, this was a welcome nostalgic interlude. I found it to be a good read that I would recommend to anyone.

Everything from 'A' to 'Z' (art to the zoo) is outlined with chapters thoroughly researched. This book exhibits the love the writer and illustrator have for this amazing city.
Never having thought of Cincinnati as a place of any interest--I was surprised to read about the history of the various buildings and its place in American history. Goes to show no matter the town or city, every place has interest and should not be overlooked.
And while a town or city is not featured on national travel segments or heard about very often does not mean it doesn't have interesting sites. Before traveling to Cincinnati, purchase this book to help guide you to the points of interest.
This is an informational publication of the city that will appeal to anyone interested in history.

This was a link to an article in Writer's Digest magazine. Evidently they don't have the link live anymore. Sorry about that!
By the way, MLA stands for the Modern Language Association. Their style manual, MLA's Manual for Writers of Research Papers is the bible followed by most high-school and college English teachers. Students of those teachers are often surprised when they get into the "real" world and find out that most writers do not follow the MLA style.
