While doing research on old churches being retrofitted as brewpubs, I stumbled across Taft\u2019s Ale House in Cincinnati\u2019s Over the Rhine neighborhood. From there, I went deep. The architecture. The flight to the suburbs. The abandonment. The subway that was built in the 20s but was never used. Then, new life. The comeback. To find out more about Cincinnati, I spoke with Randy Simes, an award-winning urban planner who founded&amp;nbsp;a site called UrbanCincy back in 2007. Simes grew up on Cincinnati\u2019s west side, and graduated from the University of Cincinnati\u2019s nationally acclaimed School of Planning. He\u2019s put together a team of writers and reporters that have elevated the conversation about urban planning, placemaking, and what\u2019s making Cincinnati move on up. My obsession grows. Enjoy the show!
