Cincinnati! (and first year teaching)
Looking across the Ohio River with Kentucky on the left side The railroad tracks that separate one part of the city from the rest Student artwork Our classroom during standardized testing A bulletin board with student artwork during a Science unit on Space One wall of our old classroom Graeter's, Skyline Chili, the Purple People Bridge, United Dairy Farmers...all of these keywords have been linked in my mind to the "City of Seven Hills", otherwise known as Cincinnati. It's going on five months since I moved here and started teaching, and has it ever been an interesting experience! For one thing, I'm happy to have gotten to know a city all by myself, outside of any friends' or family members' opinions about it. No one else I know well has ever lived here, so the city was mine to discover. As far as cities go, Cincinnati has been pleasant. The people are friendly, there is an old-world charm to parts of the city, lots of racia...
