Why do people hate cincinnati

Thank god I think she her time if finally up due to term limits. It gets worse and worse every year. This goes right along with the Section 8 expansion. Lack of nightlife. What happened to all the nightclubs of the 90's?

There used to be a lot of good places to go in this city in the 90's and even early 's. Now there is nothing left and no real clubs, just a bunch of bars with horrible sound systems that attempt to be "nightclub like" ie Arnie's in Newport. First off 75 is always backed up and slow.

Secondly, it's unbelievable how this highway effects traffic all throughout Greater Cincinnati. There is no way a major highway like that should have the lack of lanes that it does.

A lot of Cincinnatian's are extremely "clicky". They refuse to be open to others and get outside of their small, minute group of friends. This is bad in all areas of Cincinnati, the west-side, east-side. West-siders tend to hang out with the same group of people from grade school and high school. I've lived in Cincinnati okay, actually extreme N.

KY for nearly eleven months now. A job offer brought me here from Central Kentucky and I always said that if I were to stay in the Ohio Valley that it would be Cincinnati or Nashville.

That alone is because of proximity to family, because otherwise I've never felt like I was a fit for this part of the country. Top six things I hate about Cincinnati: 1. Cold, but not cold enough to produce ongoing white beauty although I enjoyed that 8" coating we had in February. I prefer warm weather, but I have this weird philosophy that states that if it's gonna be cold, than doggone it dump a bunch of snow! It's just cold and damp enough to produce a seemingly ongoing wet, cloudy layer over much of the city.

Oh, and while the hillsides are beautiful during the spring and summer, the bare look with the vegetation not blossoming during the winter just makes the entire city look depressing IMO.

Lack of friendliness of the people. I will say, people here are more engaging in my experience than our friends in Louisville and Lexington. And they are polite. But friendly, truly?!?! I agree with the clique arguments posted on this thread. And StrangeLand is right, many can be outright rude, especially on the roads. I seriously would, based on driver politeness, rather drive in Southern California.

Hate to say it, but folks here "ain't that 'mart" overall. Thomas, and Beechwood Ft. But, my job requires me to deal with unemployed and underemployed people daily, which entails an incredibly large segment of people who are very white or ghetto trash, never attended school beyond eleventh grade or who have, for thirty years or more, been content with working the "eight hour, five day, just gettin' by" factory job with no real life ambitions. Now, we need factory workers and not everybody wants to attend college.

However, of all the places I've been to in the United States, the only place with a collective citizenry as undereducated or at least as undereducated-acting as Cincinnatians is not too far from us in downstate Kentucky especially eastern Kentucky. I've met plenty of middle-aged people from 'Bama, Jawja and Texas that are more technologically sophisticated and culturally educated than the average middle-aged person in the Ohio Valley. And yes, as far as customer service goes, many of them have to have their hands held.

Seriously, ODOT. You got it together for Dayton and Columbus. Cincinnati is a far more important city in your state's economic base. Okay, maybe I'm making a hyperbole of Cincinnati's I by comparing it to such larger examples, but my point is that the road system here needs some fixin'.

The only city I've ever been to with lower quality freeways was Los Angeles. Customer service. Generally, it's surly, almost as if cashiers and even managers don't want your business. I'm polite and put a smile on my face, but it's beginning to fade. Of course, it was no better in Louisville, Lexington or Frankfort, either.

I don't hate CVG itself; heck, I work there part-time. Great airport, clean, efficient, and a beautiful facility. Even most of the TSA folks are chill and polite.

The airport is predominantly in Boone County; its employees, myself included, pay Boone County occupational taxes. Selfish control like this, as it seems, could be why CVG is in the mess it's in. I will shortly post a list of six things I love about Cincinnati. I don't hate it here, but I have more of a like-dislike relationship. Still, I'm not as comfortable here as I thought I would be and found that many of the stigmas of Central Kentucky hold true here in the Queen City.

I've always wanted to live in Texas and, over the last couple of years, have considered parts of coastal Southern California and western Washington. I've recently expedited my job search in those parts of the country, especially SoCal.

Last edited by EclecticEars; at PM.. Reason: Grammatical corrections. It's too close to KY and it shows. Add me to the "why the hell are people so fond of skyline?

People think the montgomery inn is good BBQ. It's not. Not even close. Streets that turn into a different name without turning and streets that turn and stay the same name.

WTF is that? Arrows pointing to the white line telling you which lane you should be in. How is that helpful? There are so many examples of the DOT screwing the pooch is mind numbing. I just don't like the feel of the city.

From the first time I came here I didn't like it. The people. I've lived many places and been to many more. I can't freaking wait to move out of here. In fact, the only reason I'm on city data is to research stuff in Colorful Colorado!! Cincy Rider. Originally Posted by allprolab. I'm sure your mom's is better?

Location: Blue Ash, Ohio Cincinnati. You don't like me and I love it. I'm don't like some people, who cares? If something is an acquired taste then you can't find it surprising that a lot of people hate it. I'm from Kansas City.

That ends that argument right there. That's a brilliant reply. It suppose to not feel uneasy. From reading this thread I'm not the only one that doesn't like the people here. So maybe there's a reason for that. I don't care what it is, I just can't wait to leave this place!!

I will enjoy CO. Any cities sub-forum you will find people that don't like it there. It's easy to go to one and see that. Check out the city vs city section, and see the things people have to say about places ALL over the country.

If so, terrible place. But I am a huge fan of Colorado. Best of luck to you, but I know plenty of people who have moved here in the past three years, along with myself, who love it here.

I want to like Cincinnati chili. Chili in Cincinnati makes perfect sense. It all sounds terrific. While some see Cincinnati chili creator Tom Kiradjieff as a culinary hero, I picture him standing over a pot in his kitchen, cackling like the witches in Macbeth as he empties his cupboard of mismatched ingredients. Onion and cinnamon? Cloves and grated cheese? Why not. Surely, there had to be some conversation around that one. But in it went, with all the rest. Look, sometimes it just goes this way.

Hall and Mr. Oates seem like fine humans and musicians. I just have a visceral reaction to their music. I hate it. All of it. Without exception. Cincinnati chili is like that for me. It inflicts violence upon them. If you like the stuff, dig in. Heck, my son considers cheese coneys a food group. My daughter uses half a bottle of Skyline hot sauce on hers.

The point of sharing all this is to let you know where I stand, to be honest about this problem in the hope we can work through it. I understand there might be consequences to coming clean about this. Reasonable people will disagree. Some might even be offended.
