Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood has been the focus of battles over gentrification for decades. Sarah Wesseler examines recent developments in the neighborhood in light of this history.
Having made international headlines as the epicenter of Cincinnati's urban unrest in 2001, the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood has more recently been heralded as a successful example of urban regeneration.
