Cincinnati, home to major sports teams like the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals, is a city situated in the north of Ohio River at the Ohio Kentucky border.

Major manufacturers have also found a home in the area particularly Proctor and Gamble, soap manufacturer, who have started marketing Ivory Soap later that same year. Currently, the city is spawning with more manufacturing companies; nine of which are Fortune 500 companies. Some of these companies include Toyota, Macy's, Chiquita, Omnicare and several others.

Some of these structures include the Carew Tower, the Scripps Center, and the Ingalls Building. Other equally well-known buildings are the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal and the Isaac M. Wise Temple to mention a few examples within the area. More are expected to come starting with its Queen City Square which is expected to open sometime next year.
