Canal, Subway, Parkway: The History of Cincinnati’s Central Parkway in Images
The “Rhine” of “Over-the-Rhine” was the Miami & Erie Canal. The canal was replaced by Central Parkway and the subway line. Here are a few images of Central Parkway’s history. In a forthcoming post, I’ll delve deeper into the more recent history of this definitive border of OTR.

I just realized that that strange entrance between the new AAA buildings used to be a section of Baldwin Alley. One of the few alleys that crossed Central Parkway/the Canal.
Enjoyed taking a look at the photos of Cincinnati in the past. We’ve been a business in Cincinnati for over 100 years and have a few of our own photos as well. Thanks for sharing them.
