The Main Attraction
Main Street rebounds as another downtown center for the body, mind, home and stomach
1 Comments · Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Cincinnati's Main Street, as do most Main Streets in other towns, stretches right through the heart of the city. Most people cross it to go to baseball games or cross under it on the highway. I rarely have the chance to visit OTR stretch of Main Street, but this section is experiencing a revival to rival any going on in Over-the-Rhine.

Sure, I’ve heard of Rookwood Pottery. I’ve seen tiles here and there in older homes in the area and heard the name spoke on the proud owners’ lips. The name evokes images of well-trained artisans leaning over their dusty workspaces, carving incredibly detailed molds and gently placing them in the kiln, waiting expectantly for their creation to take life.

Years ago, all summer entertaining was done in the front of the house. Later, the party moved to the backyard.

The environmental aspect is of great interest to people around the region."
