I recently visited Covington, KY and walked over the John Roebling Bridge to Cincinnati. The John A. Roebling suspension bridge spans the Ohio River between Covington, KY and Cincinnati, OH. The bridge was erected in 1866. At the time, the bridge, with a span of 1,057 feet (322 m) was the longest suspension bridge in the world. This record was overtaken by the Brooklyn Bridge (also designed by John A Roebling) in 1883. The bridge is currently closed to car traffic but still available as a pedestrian bridge.

I recently traveled to downtown Cincinnati Ohio for an episode of Tourist in your Town, my travel podcast. While there, I managed to capture a few photos. Prints are available, just click on the image and it will take you straight to the page!
Ezzard Charles
Ezzard Charles, also known as the Cincinnati Cobra, was an American boxer and former World Heavyweight Champion. Some say he is the greatest boxer of all time. I don’t know a thing about boxing, so I’m not the one to ask. I do know that this mural is a great tribute to a local hero.

This ferris wheel is located right on the banks of the Ohio River. This view is from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati. You can see Northern Kentucky just across the river.
