We're in Cincinnati. Husbandman leaves today from this very city. He's going to Europe for a week---Vienna and Paris. We had the most wonderful dinner last night at Nicola's. You should go there. Yesterday, before our feast, I learned about Greensburg Indiana and their historic
tower tree. Then I read 2 historic plaques while walking to the restaurant.
Procter and Gamble has been based here for a long time, since 1837! One made soap, the other made candles. They got together and there you go. Also read a plaque about the courthouse riots. Didn't learn why the people were rioting, but it was a tough time and about 200 people died. Today we're going to see a Patti Smith exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum. We are nervous about our upcoming trip to Israel. So much to do, so I'm not sure it was a great idea for
Husbandman to travel to Europe right now, but I'm not bringing that up with him, out of courtesy.
I finished a terrific book by Elizabeth Strout yesterday. Lucy by the Sea . It takes place during Covid Times. The novel brought back me...

I've lived in the Cinci area since I was 9 and did not know anything you referenced in this post! Very informative.
Thanks SG. I loved my 24 hours in Cincy. I always have fun there.
I have to publish a correction. 200 peeps didn't die in the courthouse riots. About 50 did. Still, it wasn't a great time. You can read about the riots here if you want to:
