Cincinnati, also known as the Queen city, is a city rich in his-

tory and culture with exceptional visual and creative arts, professional sports teams and top notch muse-ums. Whether you are a resident or a visitor there is always something to learn, see and do in cincinnati and our neighboring cities of covington and newport. For those reasons and many more, it’s no surprise that in 2012 Lonely planet travel guide named cincinnati number three of the top ten travel destinations in the united states. cincinnati offers all the benefits of larger cities like Chicago and new york while maintaining the small hometown hospitality. in this section we like to bring interesting facts and opinions. this is what we have for you in this month’s issue:

And the countdown begins to one of the most celebrated days in Cincin-nati, OPENING DAY! There’s lots of baseball history in our great city and we thought we would share some in-teresting facts about our home team.

Cincinnati RedlegsDuring the mccarthy era the reds officially changed their name to the cincinnati redlegs because they feared the shortened name would associate them with communism. in 1956 they even removed the term “reds” from the inside of the c of the logo for this reason although it returned and the traditional logo was restored in 1967.

Opening Dayopening day for the reds is always scheduled to be played at home.

The Queen City

“The city is indeed, justly styled the Queen of the West: distinguished for order, enterprise, public spirit, and liberality, she stands the wonder of an admiring world.”

- B. Cooke, The Inquisitor and Cincinnati Advertiser, 1819

KEY Cover Story

SEEING Red!by thomas Bell

Buy me some peanuts and cracker Jacks because cin-

cinnati reds baseball is back! The winners of five World Series titles, one american association pennant, nine national League pennants and ten division titles; start the 2013 season april 1st. in cincinnati it’s not just the start of the baseball season but a holiday celebrated with electric-ity and unity across the entire tristate area.

on opening day you will see a river of red as people make their way to great american Ball park. you will see people at area restaurants and bars watch-ing the game and live bands playing to kick off the season. people not able to get off work will still wear red and the game

can be heard in offices, cars and even walk-ing down the street. the nostalgia, history and hope are felt more on this day in cincinnati than any movie about

america’s favorite pastime can reflect.

the history of pro-fessional baseball and our beloved cincinnati reds

started in 1869

when the cincinnati red stock-ings became the first openly professional ball team where ten players were salaried. the team acquired the nickname because of the main feature to their uniforms which were long red stockings which were exag-gerated when worn with the short white trousers.

those red stockings and white trousers were first donned at union grounds which is where the first professional team played from 1869 until 1870. the park could seat up to 4,000 spectators and was located where union terminal train sta-tion is today. From 1876 to 1879 they played at avenue grounds which held 3,000 fans and from there they went to League park which had a covered grand-stand and uncovered seats along the first and third bases. After a major fire at League Park

A full print of this photo can be purchased at the gift shop at the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum.


SEEING Red! renovations were made includ-ing a new grandstand, field level seats and also box seats. after the renovations League park was then called palace of the Fans and the facility was used from 1902 through 1911. in 1912 the reds moved to red-land Field which would later be named cros-ley Field and where mLB his-tory was made when the first night game was played. Located at the corner of Western avenue and Findlay street crosley Field was also the host to the first World Series championship team. in June of 1970 riverfront stadium was completed and the cincin-nati reds left crosley Field for the new stadium which could seat more than 52,000 fans and would become the home of the Big red machine. in 1996 river-

front stadium was renamed cinergy Field although the reds would move once again in 2003 to their current home great american

Ball park which pays tribute to the reds rich history and seats 42,036 fans.

on april 1st 2013 at great american Ball park the

fans will once again be buying peanuts and cracker Jacks and rooting for our home team. every-one at key magazine would like to

wish all the fans a happy open-ing Day and to all the reds play-ers and members of this great organization a winning season. Go Reds!

Favorite Reds Momentsi was born on october 20th, 1940; the year the reds beat the Detroit tigers in the World series. Fifty years later my family had a surprise birthday party for me and once again the reds were in the World series against the oakland a’s. it was game four and if the reds won they would take the series. surrounded by loved ones, we watched the reds give me the best 50th birth-day present by winning with the sweep!Dwight R., Cincinnati

two years ago my brother and i went to see the reds play against the pittsburgh

pirates. the weather was ter-rible so it took real dedica-

tion to stay the entire game. to make matters worse we

were sitting in front of the most obnoxious pirates fans. the game went on and the

reds just weren’t on that night. the goading got worse as the pirates fans continued

drinking. the ninth inning came up and chapman was in-serted into the game. the pirates fans stopped the goading

and started heckling chapman. chapman winds, delivers and pitches, 101 on the radar 103, 103... 107!!! the boys from

pittsburgh never uttered another word and although the reds lost, they won in our eyes as chapman shut ‘em up!

Rodney F., Cincinnati

on my birthday my husband and i went to the reds game to celebrate and one of my best friends gave birth to her first child. The Reds were getting brutally beaten by the indians. then it happened! point by point the reds were catching up. With bases loaded, adam Dunn stepped up to the plate and hit a walk off, grand slam to win the game! my birthday wish had come true and i had the prized scorecard in hand. We rushed to the hospital and gave baby anderson Douglas cooper the winning scorecard thanks to adam Dunn! nearly seven years later, he still has that score-card, and a fully decorated reds room. We are sure he will be a reds fan for life!Melissa C., Cincinnati

A Local Treasureand Tradition

Just blocks north from downtown cincinnati in over-the-rhine is Findlay market, a treasured jewel of cincinna-

tians since 1852. attracting diverse crowds of locals and visitors, it is the state of ohio’s oldest public market and it was added to the u.s. national register of historic places June 5th, 1972.

Findlay market is open tuesday through sunday year round with over three dozen indoor merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, ethnic foods and other various products. From april through

By: sue cunningham


november on saturdays and sun-days, there are dozens of outdoor vendors and numerous street performers and artists. there are also several special events at this iconic establishment.

one of the most honored tradi-tions the city of cincinnati has is coordinated by the market, the Findlay market opening Day pa-rade. since 1920, the merchants of Findlay market have organized the opening Day parade and continually bring fans together, not only to celebrate cincinnati reds baseball, but to celebrate community.

this time-honored tradition will be celebrated on monday, april 1st and the Findlay market associa-tion is working hard to make this year’s festivities more time ef-ficient. “The parade has grown significantly and we have to limit the participants from 240 units to 200 to keep the parade under two hours”, says neil Luken the pa-rade committee chair. But don’t worry, the crowd favorites will still be there including the Budweiser clydesdale horses.

the parade route starts at the race street entrance of Findlay market and heads south down to Fifth street, then east on Fifth street and on to Broadway. For-mer grand marshals leading the way along the parade path have been aaron Boone, Joe morgan, Johnny Bench, Frank robinson, cesar geronimo, eric Davis and mario soto, just to name a few.

Visit Findlay market for a nostalgic experience and the freshest and most unique products around. While shopping at the Findlay market, don’t forget to thank the vendors for continuing cincin-nati’s opening Day tradition.

The reds hall of Fame & museum is the place to

go if you are a baseball fan, and especially if you are a cincinnati reds fan. The museum is a first class 16,000 square foot facil-ity filled with memorials to baseball and the cincin-nati reds with educa-tional exhibits and special events. Located on the west side of great ameri-can Ball park at 100 Joe nuxhall Way, it is a great stop before or after the game or as a destination all its own.the reds hall of Fame was established in 1958 and is the oldest team hall of Fame. the bronze plaques were not previously ex-

hibited because there was no facility to display them, but they continued to make them every year. usually, they were in stor-age except on occasion when they were displayed to the public at redsfest and certain home game weekends. since 2004, the inductee plaques have been on display at their new home for all to ad-mire.While at the reds hall of Fame & museum make sure to stop by the gift shops to pick up something for yourself or for your fa-vorite reds fan. the shops include the autographs shop, Johnny Bench shop, collectibles shop and the Book shop where you will find everything from shirts

A REd's Hot Place To Be


you know you are at the right place to watch the games this baseball season when you are at an establishment where entire menu is influenced by the sport. the appetizers are referred to as the “starting Lineup” and include all the favorites like Buffalo chick-en Dip, grand slam nachos and Ball park pretzels. they also have great burgers and, if you want to keep with the ball park theme, how about one of their 100% all beef dogs? your hunger can also be satisfied with one of their “Reds hot sandwiches” or one of their many delicious entrees.

Willie’s sports cafe is a great place to meet to watch the game, and if you are planning on going to the game you can catch the Willie’s shuttle bus with several drop-off and pick-up times before and after the game.

Let’s not forget march madness! come to Willie’s to watch all the games. monday thru Friday from 1-7 pm enjoy great happy hour prices on domestic bottles and draft pints, and all appetizers are only $5 and wings are $2 off. great prices, great atmosphere and strategically placed televi-sions makes Willie’s the place to be for march madness and all of the games!

one more thing, kiDs night! Buy an adult meal on tuesday night and up to two kids under 10 eat free from the kids menu. kids are welcome anytime in the dining area that is separate from the bar area.
