Book Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio

Download or read book Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio written by Jeff Morris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a dark history in southwest Ohio that some people would much rather forget. A riot tore through downtown Cincinnati in 1884, a fire burned relentlessly at the Salvation Army orphanage on Front Street, and one of the largest mass murders in history occurred in a small, unassuming home in Hamilton. Many of these tragedies have begun to fade away, forgotten in dusty books hidden on library shelves. The spirits of those involved in these tragedies, though, are not so easily forgotten. Many of the most popular historic sites and some of the lesser-known and forgotten corners of southwest Ohio are haunted by the spirits of those who lived and died there. Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio examines the ghostly history of more than 30 such locations. It tells ghost stories and reports historic events from area theaters, cemeteries, museums, parks, roads, railroad tracks, and even a castle through narrative and photographs. Perhaps the ghosts are history's way of remembering the past--even those dark corners of the past that few would like to relive.

Book Stuck at the Airport

Download or read book Stuck at the Airport written by Harriet Baskas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airports used to be places we just passed through on our way to somewhere else. But with an increase in layovers and ever-mounting delays, "dwell-time" in airports has become an inevitable, tedious, and often infuriating part of travel today. This essential guidebook won't get you where you want to go faster, but it does provide great suggestions for eating well, taking care of business, and having fun while you wait.In clear, cleverly written profiles of each airport, Harriet Baskas, Expedia.com's airport expert, spells out: the best places to eat and what local specialties to try; diversions for kids (playgrounds, observation decks, and museums); quick trips to make by cab (including times to the nearest city); locations of business centers and data ports; shops with interesting, reasonably priced items; well-stocked bookstores; art and history exhibits; clean places to shower and quiet corners for taking a nap. In some airports, she reveals, you can even get a dentist to look at that troublesome tooth, a shoemaker to fix a wobbly heel, and a masseuse to case travel-induced kinks -- and crankiness.Organized alphabetically for easy reference. Stuck at the Airport is the indispensable travel companion for business and leisure travelers alike.

Book excerpt: Burckle Publishing announces the new edition of Greater Cincinnati Close-Up. This is the twelfth edition of the ?Indispensable Guide to Cincinnati,? a label given to the book many years ago by newcomers to the area. As always, the content is the most up-to-date information available at press time. This new edition has been expanded to 242 pages, and includes more information on Kentucky and Indiana. It provides highlights for attractions, dining, shopping, communities, and navigation in Greater Cincinnati. The cover has been updated with the new Cincinnati Skyline, showing both stadiums (see the Adobe Acrobat file attached). A fold-out map of the Downtown area of Greater Cincinnati has been completely updated to reflect the changes that have occurred on the river front. On the obverse side is a map of the Metro Region that is useful for planning. First published in 1978 as Cincinnati Without Fears or Tears, it is the oldest continually published guidebook for the Greater Cincinnati area. In 1996, it was updated to reflect a new look and the title changed to Greater Cincinnati Close-Up to keep up with the growth of the Metro Region comprising the 13 county area of Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana. Coverage, however, is concise and to the point in order to maintain a size (6x9 format just ? inch thin) and weight (only 12.8 oz) suitable for the portability so important to visitors and newcomers. As a special feature, this edition includes a color photo CD, Discover Greater Cincinnati in Pictures, which provides a visual tour in full color of many of Greater Cincinnati?s favorite places and featured institutions. This collection of 60 beautiful photos is produced by Stevie Publishing, Inc. A utility is included for browsing and for installing a screen saver on your computer.

The images are provided for royalty free use for personal purposes and for certain business uses, such as in advertising. They are in two formats, one for internet use and another to create prints. A full description of the CD is on page vii of the book. This edition is designed for retail at just $16.50 (including the bonus CD which has a retail value of $10.00).
