Gathering Places of Greater Cincinnati
In this highly anticipated and fascinating book, two friends and collaborators—artist, Beverly Erschell, and urban historian/author, Sue Ann Painter—depict and discuss a selection of Greater Cincinnati buildings, public squares, and sites that have served past and present generations as communal gathering places. During the Covid pandemic of 2020-2021, individuals and civilizations throughout the world suffered the loss of family, fellowship, and the sense of belonging that accompanies regular interaction with other people. Now, amid the reopenings of 2021, this tribute to communal gathering places is intended to reawaken the pride and pleasure we take in some favorites in Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky.
