Whether you're a local who calls it OTR or a first-time visitor still trying to figure out what Over-the-Rhine is all about, this tour is sure to open your eyes. Teeming with German immigrants in the 19th century, the neighborhood took a turn for the worst in the late 1990's. Now with purposeful redesign and an influx of trendy restaurants and locally-owned small businesses, OTR is the talk of the town!
