Discovered a Cincinnati I only thought I knew...!By JP"Lost Cincinnati" brings together stories of Cincinnati-that-was; painting a picture of a city with a legacy of entrepreneurs; artists; and; great promise.Suess collects a number of points-of-interests and their stories that were previously only available by sitting through disparate lectures or searching through obscure archives. He has organized them by topics of interest (disasters; transportation; etc...) allowing the reader to approach "Lost Cincinnati" as a kind-of reference book or as a cover-to-cover narrative.The writing is accessible yet informative which makes this travel through history interesting and fun. Every city would be well-served with a book this compelling.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Kendall S. Hartnice book1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Queen City Rises.By Jim M.Good history. Well written book with lots of facts especially for those who have lived in Cincinnati. Suess recounting of many memorable places and buildings; Albee theatre; Crosley field; Peebles Corner; Union Station; Coney Island/Moonlight Gardens; etc.; makes the history of this charming city alieve again. I wished for more including the inclusion of the excellent park system; more historic churches; and specific neighborhoods; particularly in the eastern part of the city. For those who like and remember all things Cincinnati this is a must read..Hope it wont be long before Jeff Suess provides a follow up. There is much good history in Cincinnati to fill several volumes.
