Downtown Cincinnati ‘a safe place to be’

A new Enquirer article shows that Downtown Cincinnati is safer than many of the surrounding suburbs.

In an unscientific poll online, the Enquirer asked, “Did this story change your views on downtown safety?” Forty-seven percent answered, “No, I still don’t feel safe.”

What this shows is that 47% of Cincinnati.com visitors are the type of people who will not let pesky “facts” get in the way of their opinions.

At approximately 3:00 AM on October 3, two students were confronted by two subjects. One of the suspects grabbed one of the students in what was described as a ‘bear hug,’ took the student’s wallet, threw it on the ground and walked away. The other subject stated, ‘Just kidding,’ and also walked away. No weapons were shown and no property was taken.
