Clifton

Paint the streets

Resting on a hill overlooking the North side of Cincinnati, Clifton offers a wide range of experiences from a college atmosphere with the city's largest school, the University of Cincinnati, to an international center for cutting edge medicine featuring University, Children's and Good Samaritan hospitals. Clifton's history remains with historical buildings and homes, from modest to millionaire, still intact today. Trendy shops and restaurants can be found on Ludlow Avenue in the Gaslight District, along with an art house theater, yoga studios and a branch of the Cincinnati Public Library. Even though Clifton is tightly compacted with large buildings and interesting architecture, green space exists at Burnet Woods.

Last Friday bore witness to one of the most momentous groundbreakings in the modern history of Cincinnati.
