OTR

The area of Over-the-Rhine is one of the most historical, unique, and diverse neighborhoods in Cincinnati.

During the 19th century, Over-the-Rhine was one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the Midwest, if not the most densely populated. As the center of German life in Cincinnati, there were more than 50 breweries in the neighborhood alone.

Recent attempts have been made to revitalize Over-the-Rhine, starting with 12th and Vine Streets immediately outside downtown. The redevelopment project, called the Gateway Quarter, has been largely successful in its attempts to attract empty-nesters and young professionals into the neighborhood. The Over-the-Rhine Foundation works to protect OTR's endangered historic fabric as well as promote this redevelopment and growth.

"OTR" is a short film about this neighborhood and it's unique history. The film tells the history of the area and what makes it unique through interviews with residents and supporters.

nicely done video.. amazing neighborhood, but im not sure why it was decided to make all the footage look vintage and why nothing was shown of where OTR is headed now. Although the video made the neighborhood look relatively interesting, i dont know why anyone would want to visit it based on this depiction.  I think OTR is much brighter and diverse than this video illustrates. Theres are hundreds of more interesting shots worth showing. Despite my opinion on the content, it was done well.

Great video of an absolutely amazing neighborhood. Please share this, as it says FAR more about Over-the-Rhine than the local news channels' crime statistics. I love that place.

Nice video. I have not lived in Cincinnati since I left in 1992 & always love driving through and seeing the amazing architecture. Its a shame they did not put Great American Ballpark on Main St.
