Street names change. This one, indicating Poplar Street (which is currently south and west of this location) Actually the street is named Frintz. This picture dates back a couple of years to a time when I was mostly just wandering around Cincinnati’s famous tourist trap — Over the Rhine (q.v.). I suspect the buildings nor the street names carved in concrete date back to a time when these two streets might have met. Buck Street currently is in the Brighton neighborhood. The actual right-of-way runs under the east end of the Western Hills Viaduct and is split by the latter. the north section strikes out westward from Spring Grove Avenue then runs ninety degrees left/south and ends at the viaduct. The southern section runs north from Harrison Avenue west of Spring Grove and ends just short of the viaduct. Poplar, in turn, runs east and west in the West End, from the 1900 block of Central Avenue to Freeman Avenue, just south of the former Sands Elementary school. (Which has been converted to condos and apartments.) The photo above was taken at the intersection of Frintz Street and East Clifton Avenue. in Over the Rhine. I have been intending to add the pic to my inventory at Dreamflower Works dot Art for some time. But I see it several times a day because it’s part of the slideshow wallpaper on my computer. So it slips my mind a lot that I intend to put it up for sale in prints.
