The fountain is sponsored by Procter & Gamble, which of course makes sense as it stands right next to their corporate headquarters building. And other than a plaque giving them credit for their "generous support," there is little information. The fountain looks a little Art Deco. It stands about 30 feet tall and is visible from the highway below. [Review 20485 overall - 212 in Ohio - 1465 of 2023.]

On the front, the marker reads, "First National Correctional Congress. On this site in October, 1870 a group of enlightened individuals dedicated to the reformation and improvement of penal systems met. This first Congress of the National Prison Association, now known as the American Correctional Association, adopted a far-sighted philosophy of corrections. This philosophy, embodied in its Declaration of Principles, remains today as the basic guide for modern correctional systems." And on the reverse, "Declaration of Principles. The treatment of criminals by society is for the protection of society. But since such treatment is directed to the criminal rather than to the crime, its great object should be his moral regeneration. Hence the supreme aim of prison discipline is the reformation of criminals, not the infliction of vindictive suffering." This is marker number 5-31 and was erected in 1970 by The American Correctional Association, The Ohio Historical Society, and the Cincinnati Historical Society. There is metered street parking adjacent. [Review 21137 overall - 237 in Ohio - round number 100 of 2024.]

Did you know Cincinnati is home to the World's Largest Unfinished Subway System?…read more In 1916, Cincinnatians had a dream: to relieve traffic congestion and improve health concerns by creating a rapid transit system underneath present day Central Parkway. Originally part of the Miami-Erie Canal, the unused waterway was drained, dug out by horse-and-plow, then filled in with concrete. The plan was to create a 16-mile loop of mass transit around the city, stretching from Race Street at Central Parkway, to Clifton, Norwood, Oakley, then back Downtown. The project progressed for ten years then came to a halt after a change in political leaders and financial troubles. The completed portion included six stations along a route spanning from Downtown to Norwood. In 1928, the Cincinnati Subway project was officially abandoned. Over the years, people tried to revive the subway system as well as proposing other uses for it, such as: a wine cellar, a mushroom farm, an aeronautic wind tunnel, and an entertainment venue similar to Underground Atlanta. The Cincinnati Subway is still in tact today. Two miles of tunnels are located underneath Central Parkway between Race Street to just north of the Western Hills Viaduct. Three of the stations remain; the other three were demolished in the 1950s to make way for I-75. While the concrete structure is complete, no rails, electricity, or trains were ever installed. The structure itself is in good condition, especially for being almost 100 years old. While it is off-limits to the public, Cincinnati Museum Center gives an annual tour of the subway in May; an excellent opportunity to go exploring in our city's deepest secret. The tunnels have the potential to be used for modern-day rail transit, with a few improvements, of course.

Presented by Cincinnati's finest, the docents of Heritage Programs, this walking tour takes guests to see the non-public areas of Union Terminal and Cincinnati Museum Center. I'm a big fan of the Museum, but this tour blows the exhibits out of the water. It's fascinating! Here's what we saw: - Behind-the-scenes of the OMNIMAX theatre, including the room behind the big screen. (The screen is actually a dome made up of many, many tiny holes so that the sound can project into the audience. The sound system is behind the giant screen.) We also saw the archive reels of film that each weighed 200 lbs. and were 4 feet in diameter. Titles included everything from rafting at the Grand Canyon to a Rolling Stones concert. We were then led into the projection room, which is the big glass room outside the theatre entrance. From outside, you can see the reels of film being spooled through the projector. They spin super fast, and could probably cut off an arm. The projector also travels up an incline to show the film in the theatre. Ever wonder why the OMNIMAX tickets cost extra? Well, a replacement lightbulb for the projector costs $6,000 every three months. And that's just for the bulb! The OMNIMAX projector itsself cost $1.2 million and each film is $25,000! (Hey, there's over three miles of film on one spool!) - We went outside to the Union Terminal train yard and stood along side the tracks. The area is mainly used for commercial transportation now. We saw where the former concourses for Union Terminal were demolished during the renovation in 1990. There was also a secret tunnel from Union Terminal to the Post Office located on Dalton Street. In the tunnel, there were old 1910s wagons and motor carts from the 1950s that are still in use today. - We met the Facilities Manager, who took us on a tour of the mechanics room. We saw a huge color-coded scheme of four boilers and six coolers, and learned how hot and cold air is engineered from these systems. Surprisingly, heating and air conditioning is more complex than you'd think! The Facilities Manager did a great job of talking in layman's terms for the group and giving us interesting tidbits about the museum. Did you know the Museum's monthly electric bill is $50,000 and the gas bill is $30,000? In comparison, CMC's $13.00 admission is a bargain! - We met the preservationist at the Cincinnati Historical Society Library, saw his workshop, and learned how to properly care for and preserve photographs and books. Then he took us into the archive stacks (the room where all the artifacts are stored) and showed us pictures and maps from Cincinnati in 1778, told about the Civil War, Ruth Lyons, and many other tales. Tucked away downstairs, the Library itself is gorgeous, quiet, very well organized and free to the public. The collections contain more than 40,000 books, 50,000 pamphlets, 60,000 architectural drawings and over 1 million images. - We climbed several flights of stairs to the "high steel" of the Rotunda. We walked across the glass floor in the Rotunda window to view the mechanics of the Union Terminal clock (the one on the front facade of CMC.) The clock contains all of its original gears from the 1930's and is breathtaking to watch in action. - We climbed even higher into the "high steel" to the very tip-top of the Rotunda arch. We saw all of the support beams weaving the structure, and the handmade iron rivets. We also saw a wooden peg with a 6-inch diameter that was the main support for all of these beams in the Rotunda. Imagine, that entire structure dependent on a 6-inch peg! Hey, it's held up for 80 years and counting! The Behind-The-Scenes tour is four hours long and costs $30. Normally, I get restless after four hours straight, but I was immersed with all of the sights and stories! Heritage Programs docents are amazing at telling stories. Guests are learning about history but are having too much fun to notice. Our group was smiling, laughing, and joking with our docent throughout. Plus after four hours of walking, you get a great workout! The tour can be appreciated by anyone age 10 and older. I saw everyone from young tourists, to retired couples, to grandpa and grandkids enjoying themselves. I highly recommend taking the Behind-The-Scenes of Union Terminal Tour as your midday Saturday activity. It's a fantastic way to start out your weekend, and you'll have a whole new appreciation for Cincinnati Museum Center too!
