Photos: The spirit of Over-the-Rhine

The following photos were taken between April 29 and May 22.

The first few Over-the-Rhine shots were taken during a trip to Smitty's to check out the aftermath of the raging fire. The archway and "smoke" photos were taken the next evening.

Following the "smoke" shot is a series taken during the OTR Summer Celebration and the Queen City Underground tour.

We end with four photos from Avondale, taken during a trip to the Civic Garden Center for a groundbreaking ceremony for its Green Learning Station.

These 25 photos have been added to the following galleries:
