🏈 Say One Nice or Not So Nice Thing About Cincinnati/Northern KY. Area?

Porkopolis. (Why do I always come back to food?)

While traveling through that area I was introduced to a breakfast sausage called Goetta. Like other dishes that's one that can be horrid as well as delicious: all about the cook. The last time I had the dish it was "infused" with peppers from New Mexico.
 
Sorry…..I can’t bring anything to the table this time. I think Cincinnati was my departure point to Germany for work once, if it was I didn’t particularly care for the airport.
 
Closest I've been to the area is Louisville and I enjoyed my short time there. Want to visit Cincy sooner than later and see the Reds play, but the most enjoyable thing about the Kentucky visit (other than Bama beating the Wildcats), was a couple of bourbon trail stops/tours...

Best I can do would be the Big Red Machine of the 70’s. One of my uncles pitched for their Triple A organization at Three Rivers Falls. He played with George Foster and Ken Griffey Sr for a season before both were called up.
I was a huge Big Red fan in the 70's mainly because of Johnny Bench and I was a catcher - in baseball. Foster's incredible accomplishment to hit 52HR in '77 when Jim Rice could manage just 39 in the AL, and the '76 winners were Nettles (32) and Schmidt (38). Given the ball and the strike zone, it was an unbelievable accomplishment for the Tuscaloosa native. They were so dominant, I think they won their division in '75 or so by almost 40 games.
