Cincinnati ranked 21st in list of 50 best cities
We’re 21.
That’s right, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, Cincinnati is the 21st best city in the United States.
The news wire cites Cincinnati’s picturesque downtown,
Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Pops orchestra and the
presence of corporate giant Procter & Gamble as reasons why the city
was included in its list of “America’s 50 Best Cities.”
It also doesn’t hurt that have 105 bars, 600 restaurants, 18 museums, 35 libraries and two professional sports teams.
The rankings were based on leisure attributes (such as
bars, restaurants and parks), educational attributes, economic factors,
crime and air quality. Bloomberg Businessweek said the greatest
weighting was placed on leisure amenities, (because having tons of bars
to go to is way more important than a good public school system).
San Francisco topped the list of best cities, followed by hipster haven Seattle, Washington D.C. and Boston.
Cleveland barely made it onto the rankings at 46 and Columbus beat us out by one, ranking No. 20.
The Queen City (we at CityBeat are refusing to
adopt the moniker “The City That Sings”) beat out such major
metropolises as Los Angeles, St. Louis, Reno, Dallas, Indianapolis, San
Antonio, Chicago and Houston.

The loneliest I’ve ever been was when I
moved from Cincinnati to Los Angeles at age 20. My ultimate destination
being San Francisco, I had stopped there to hang out with my best friend
for a bit.
