Cincinnati is much smaller but there are secret places here, too. A few weeks ago I found an old staircase that went down to the riverbank. I wouldn't say it's in the middle of nowhere but I'm sure thousands of people pass it thousands of times and have no idea it's there. I walked along the shore for a few minutes, pondering the picnic potential of my discovery. One more reason to anticipate spring, eh (I'm Canadian today).
And I saw this baseball. It doesn't look like a baseball, but this is what one looks like without the leather. Perhaps this is evidence of what Ohio River water does to skin.
And later I saw this very clear message not to go around the speed bump. Wow, that's a mistake you'll only make once:

Back in days gone by, I used to look for secret places at UC. There are lots of them, many of which weren't guarded at the time. I knew people who could get into the old subways but I've only seen pictures.
I know of some friends who have traversed the subway, too. Naturally, this was before they started doing guided tours. I don't know how they got in there.
When I was younger, I'd explore the Cincinnati Masonic Temple (I was a DeMolay member back then). You want to talk about a place with nooks & crannies? Not to mention the easy access to Taft Theater.
Good times.
