#SEU13: WHAT’S GOING AT THE BANKS

Ally PLM’s fourth post in our “What to do around Cincinnati” features the Banks. The Banks, located right on the Ohio River, is rich with Cincinnati history and tradition. It is where both hometown teams are housed—Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark are located here. It has been undergoing major redevelopment since 2008 and thus offers beautiful green space and several new bars and restaurants. Views of the River can be enjoyed from almost every location listed below.
