The Cincinnati riots of April 2001 were almost completely ignored by the old media, though they were well covered here. We even had Freepers on live threads posting transcriptions of police radio traffic.
Those events were quickly forgotten due to 9/11.
I remember hearing about it on the media downriver in Louisville, KY. Remember Cincy neighborhood.......”Over the Rhine”.
I heard the design was intentional to protect the campus from the surrounding town. Didn't really believe it when we drove in there in June to attend an event there, but certainly believed it when I made a wrong turn going out and took a back route to the interstate. We didn't make eye contact with anyone or look back, just followed my country boy sense of direction and headed north based on the setting sun to my left. After a couple of miles, the surrounding area noticeably improved and I took one of the side street pointing us toward the interstate.
I don't remember them at all .... must have been before I signed up, so I never heard/saw anything. Good job, JournoListers! Way to suppress that bad-for-Democrats news!
