Love it or hate it Cincinnati will always be a part of me. From the amusement parks to downtown there really is no place like the nasty nati”

You know you’re from Cincinnati when…

1. You have had a season pass to Kings Island since you were born

Fear Fest is the best time of the year and we were all crushed when Son of the Beast was closed

2. Kenwood Towne Center is the only real mall around.

Tri-county is cool and all but the curfew really kills our vibes and it gets kind of scary at times

3. The Mixers are where you met your first “boyfriend” or “girlfriend

We had to beg our parents to let us out of the house in very little clothing to go grind on people, but it was the highlight of our middle school.

4. The Beach Waterpark was the closest thing to a beach we had

Not only was Club Splash “lit”, but the slides were so fun and I know we all cried a little when it was closed for an entire year

5. Asking people where they went to school was the first question asked

Not only was Club Splash “lit”, but the slides were so fun and I know we all cried a little when it was closed for an entire year

6. If you want good food you go downtown

Taste of Belgium, Nada, and even Findlay market are full of amazing memories of delicious foods that I still dream about today

7. Oktoberfest

Whether its professional or college, Cincinnati is full of different teams to support and no matter how terrible The Reds or Bengals season is, we will never turn our backs on them

Cincinnati may not be for everyone, and I may complain about it a lot, but I couldn’t imagine living in a better city. Cincinnati, I love you.
