No wonder Chad Johnson lives here

I have to say Walnut Hills is the greatest neighborhood in Cincinnati. Now, I know there are several obvious arguments against this statement but allow me to explain. Walnut Hills has so many positives going for it that you might not put all together if you don't live there.

1. There is interesting and beautiful, historic architecture. Not the most important point but worth mentioning.
   
2. It's extremely close to downtown- just hop on Gilbert or Columbia Pkwy and you're there. It's a quick commute to work, the theater, sports games and Newport.
3. Although it doesn't have many of it's own shops or restaurants it's minutes from Hyde Park and Rookwood so you can get your fill there
4. Diversity. Hyde Park doesn't have it...
   
5. The hills...and not just me...Living around hills is just more interesting than the plains.
6. Echo Church. God's gonna do big things with this awesome group of people.
   
7. Eden Park. No one can argue with this one. You've got Playhouse in the Park, the Art Museum, Krohn Conservatory, mirror lake and the gazebo. Even better, there are some of the greatest views of the river and the city. Eden Park is the most beautiful place in Cincinnati.
   

Maybe I'm riding high after the first few sunny days of spring but I think I've got something going with this.
