Cincinnati is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city was located at the north side of the confluence of the Licking River to the Ohio.
Cincinnati developed with fewer European immigrants or influence than eastern cities attracted in the same period; however, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on commodity exploitation and the railroads, and St. Louis, for decades after the Civil War the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to two major sports clubs, the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest team in Major League Baseball, and the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. The University of Cincinnati, founded in 1819, is one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is known for its historic architecture. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as "Paris of America", due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is also the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

This community is age friendly because it provides opportunities for old people to access services they depend on like transportation and also provides opportunities for the old to engage in meaningful work
This area of Town has a diverse community ranging from elderly people living in their homes as well as parents living with their school age children. Very diverse
The aging community have become lonely. Some have lost friends, siblings and even their children. Family members are overwhelmed with the demand from their own family that that basic care for aging parents becomes almost impossible. Inevitably becoming physically incapable of caring for themselves. I work full-time for a ministry that provides haircuts to homeless people many who are elderly.
working in the community, at the food pantries, and also, COP patrols, for last 10 years, 3rd distict.
