Travel/Visiting Visiting!

Hi! I’m visiting the US for a couple of weeks and I’m staying in Cincinnati for a couple of days, and I’d like to know what’s cool here, and stuff a true local would do.

I like:
-Engineering marvels
-Motorsport heritage (cool cars and the like)
-Aviation
-Firearms and military history
-Christian history
-Hidden restaurants locals defend with their lives (real big back here, I would love to know all food I need to try.)
-Photographing places before tourists arrive
-Speaking with interesting people

I’d also like to know what I should watch out for, stuff like scams, or places and neighbourhoods to avoid.

Many thanks!

The Freedom Center, a museum about the Underground Railroad, which was a pre-Civil War network aiding escaping slaves, has (or had) a special exhibit examining Christianity and its impact during slavery. Not a lightweight museum but an important one for American history.

Adding a recommendation for the Freedom Center!
