Over the Rhine (OTR) is a significant district with historical importance in the nation, though it is expected to be in redevelopment stages soon. Though this is very near to downtown Cincinnati, it has some unbelievable Italian style architecture in the northern parts. The redevelopments are in the southern end, namely, Gateway Quarter. Some of the delicious foods Cincinnati offers can be obtained from Senate Restaurant and there are also some condo developments nearby the popular restaurant.

OTR has a high standard of living because of the architectural significance though there are not many new residents. It is also referred to as the arts district with some of the city’s more popular theatres. OTR, in the 90’s, was expected to develop into a popular entertainment district. However, some setbacks and tensions have slowed its progress. The riots in OTR’s history have also contributed to Cincinnati’s notoriety for racial disturbances. The condition has improved a lot currently, but OTR seems to still have several vacant and boarded up buildings with high potential that remain unused.
