Police said a couple began fighting at the party being held at a North Bend Road apartment. The woman hit her boyfriend in the head with a beer stein, officers said.

The party's host tried to break up the fight, but police said the woman, thinking the host was attacking her boyfriend, started hitting the host as well.

The enemy of her enemy is apparently not her friend?

I assume the beer stein was empty. That would be the best reason I can think of to hit someone with one.

I can haz Cincy tag?

What has become of North College Hill?
College Hill has up and encroached on it.

Surprised this kind of story got here...

Good times, good times.

Has your back if a fight breaks out at a party

I know ya'll were thinking it was me cuz it was NCH and all, but it wasn't me, I swear.

loki see loki do: I can haz Cincy tag?

For Cincinnati, I barely consider a story like this news, let alone something worthy of going national.

Captain Steroid: I miss college. :-(

There is no college in North College Hill. This was most likely young, blue-collar suburbanites in tract apartment complexes who, at best, got an associates degree, or at worst flunked out and work in the kitchen of a TGIFriday's.

I love Cincinnati. When we fight, we grab whatever is within arms reach to wield as a weapon. It could range from an ashtray to a shoe.

No
Crime
Here

i lived in that shiathole for 15 years.

multiple break-ins at my house, and the next door neighbor's house.

walked out my side door one night to see some farker peeping in the neighbor's window.

police foot chases right through my backyard

police standoff right in front of my house one afternoon with 12+ cars from multiple police jurisdictions. assault weapons aimed directly at the thugs, in full view of my kids,

weapons and empty drug packets found in the nearby alley, and even in my yard, on a regular basis.

multiple murders within 1000 yds of the house i lived over the years.

at least a dozen convicted sex offenders (several of them pedophiles) within 1/2 mile.

Hamilton County police chopper hovers over NCH at least once every two weeks.

asshole thugs robbed boy scouts of their christmas tree sales money two blocks away, hitting their troop leader with the butt of a shotgun.

and there are big signs proclaiming NCH to be the 'one of the best places in america to raise a family'. i call bullshiat on that...

my kids are still stuck there with their ignorant mother, and my eldest son is so afraid for his safety in that house, he sleeps with a knife under his pillow. he's deathly afraid to even go out in the back yard.

fark that horrible place.

I believe the "beer stein" is a ample evidence of Cincinnati's German heritage.

Truncheon, NCH is not that bad.

My daughter graduated from NCH High School. Now she's in her second year of college.

Hermione_Granger: Truncheon, NCH is not that bad.

My daughter graduated from NCH High School. Now she's in her second year of college.

when i first moved there, it was not so bad. it became progressively worse as the years went on.

everything i've stated as happened, did. and that's a small portion of the things experienced and seen while i lived there.

yes, there are better parts of NCH. you obviously lived NORTH of galbraith rd., and/or east of hamilton ave.

the rest of NCH (south of galbraith/west of hamilton) is now just thugs and trash, with the balance wanting to get out.

if your daughter graduated from NCH high in the past 4 years of so, she is well aware of the roving mass of kids following around the fights in the neighborhood for several days straight about 4 years ago. HamCo sheriff chopper was there for that - and it is absolutely no exaggeration when i say the chopper was basically directly over my house at least every two weeks - at least once a week.

how about the SWAT standoff with the guy in the house (i think on goodman) several years ago? That made the local news, since i think the guy ended up shooting himself in the head after killing some people. or how about the shooting at that bar on savannah, where a bad drug deal ended with the idiot shooting several people before the cops chased him down? that foot chase was one that went right through my yard, and both of these shootings took place within three blocks of where i lived, and where my kids still live.

oh - the best... getting ready for work one morning with the TV news on, i see a reporter doing a live remote in front of some sick bastard's house that was busted for inviting young girls to swim in his pool, and had cameras set up to watch them change. i thought the house looked familiar and stepped out my door to see the news truck less than a block away. my kids had to walk right past that sick fark's house to go to the park.

congrats to your daughter pursuing her continuing education. sadly, it's likely the majority of the kids who managed to graduate with her didn't go on to better themselves. of course, i have no statistics for that, but it's definitely a gut feeling, seeing the garbage roaming past my front door.

and yes, my son is deathly afraid of that place, and that makes me incredibly sad for him and his brother and sister. when my son was in kindergarten at goodman elementary, he was suspended for the last week of school for finding a toy gun in the playground and, thinking he was doing the right thing, turned it in to his teacher. in the first few weeks of school the following school year, a child in his class was given nothing more than a slap on the wrist for bringing a toy gun into the classroom. NCH schools have multiple sets of standards for different students.

my daughter is now enrolled in kindergarten at the new school, and i am somewhat impressed with the new facilities, and her teacher seems capable, so that's a plus...

i'm happy you've had good experience in NCH - but for me, it was not a pleasant place to live.

Seeing an NCH tag on Fark, geeze.
Amazing. Lived there for umpteen years but no more thank goodness. Horrible place. Family still there and they love it.
Yuck.

What Trucheon said, absolutely except it did not recently go down hill (LOL). It has been bad news for years, back to the 30s. My mother grew up there as did I.

Bronzemom: What Trucheon said, absolutely except it did not recently go down hill (LOL). It has been bad news for years, back to the 30s. My mother grew up there as did I.

glad you got out, bronzemom. getting out of there was the best thing to happen to me in a while.

now it's my goal to get my kids out of that craphole...

Trunchion is right tho, there are two NCH's. Galbraith is kind of the divider, but not completely.

Typical Cincinnati, relatively wealthy neighborhoods immediately adjacent to complete shiat.

All over Cincy.

North Avondale/ Avondale
walnut Hill/ West Walnut hills
Clifton/Corryville
Springdale/Forest Park

it goes on and on. All just a block away from each other.
Oddly, the same architecture and racial demographics can be similar if not the same with far different attitudes, for want of a better descriptor.

/pleasant ridge, best, most diversified and safe family oriented neighborhood in this ass backwards town, IMO.

//hang out Northside. Cool an diverse, safe, notsomuch.
///still pretty damned safe. It's Cincinnati.

I live right on the border of that one (just east of Victory Pkwy), and see all this crap first hand as well. It's better than it has been in the past, even though I did get mugged a couple months ago. Still sounds better than Truncheon's account of NCH, which I didn't realize was THAT bad. And fortunately the new police chief has made this area a top priority, as evidenced by a recent large gang bust, so there's hope. And my rent would probably be nearly double if I moved 3-5 miles to the east.

Bronzemom: . It has been bad news for years, back to the 30s.

Yeah, and my uncle boffed your mom outside Vince's other place in Mount Healthy.

Trunch, i worked for the city for several years and went down every street. I used to live on dallas ave. I saw everything you have talked about. The city is a shiat-whole, unless you live in the mayors neighborhood. And you were wrong about the HamCo chopper, it was twice a week.

glad to be vindicated about my observations, daintysavage.

i suppose on a day-to-day basis, it's not the worst place. but i saw enough early on to want out of there shortly after moving in. i lived on dearmand, so just one street over from you.

i had seen a lot of crap go down there, but that standoff at dearmand and bake was just too much. farking cops with assault rifles pulling armed thugs (i saw the weapons being pulled from their car and off of them) out of a car with kids playing right there as it went down, was the last straw for me.

when i moved in, every house was owned by a family. by the time i left, almost every house around me had become section 8 housing, with not so desirable elements occupying them. a lot of elderly people passed on, and their houses were taken by the banks, sold for dirt-cheap to jackwads who turned them into section 8 for easy guaranteed monthly income.

and i'm sure you're right about the chopper - once every two weeks was only my observation, as i was at work 50+ hours a week, outside of NCH.

i think the city somehow keeps many of these incidents from the public - i've observed things go down and later checked the community press paper for the police report, only to find it strangely absent...

i worked with the police everyday. there is a ton of stuff that happens that most people never know about.

DaintySavage: i worked with the police everyday. there is a ton of stuff that happens that most people never know about.

this i believe, daintysavage...

the very best part of living there was when skally's old world bakery was cranking out those garlic bagels and pitas. i would smell those in my house before i would wake up for work...


NCH fark party at junior's tavern, home of the fishbowl?

ehhh...on second thought, no thanks...

Holy crap! How old is your eldest son? You can't fight to save him or any of your other children from that awful place?

I don't mean to pry, but I'll understand if you don't comment... I haven't seen the daughter, I helped raise for 8+ years, in about three or four years, so I understand, in a way.

no worries about prying, McNignog...

i am working on getting my kids out of there. i was screwed over majorly in a custody battle that i didn't want to fight. i wanted shared parenting, and she wanted full custody, fully out of spite.

even the social worker in charge of the investigation recommended that we have shared parenting, the kids should live primarily with me to assuage their fears for safety, and other reasons (she failed her drug screen, has alcohol issues, unrealistic about finances and career, etc), and the SW felt the kids would be safer and far better off with me. i live in a good school district, have a big back yard, each kid has their own bedroom, and i have a good job (she doesn't - she's an 'artist' who can't sell her overpriced artwork in a bad economy, and absolutely refuses to get a job to help support the family). at her house, the boys share a small room, she insists on sending kids to catholic school that she can't afford... on and on and on... it's a mess.

the reason i know about all the murders/pedos/etc nearby was due to research i did during the divorce.

after bringing in her father, her friends, etc. to come and and 'testify' (read: lie), i got farked. the judge discounted everything the social worker recommended, and even discounted the kid's wishes. he awarded her full custody, because he chose to believe the lies her and her witnesses spouted.

luckily conversation recording laws here are on my side, so now every convo i have with her is recorded covertly, and i've managed to tape her admitting to driving drunk with the kids, admitting that she'shiat them to 'discipline' them, and a few other things.

my oldest is 15, and is miserable there. unfortunately, CPS can't just pull kids from a home because the neighborhood is considered by some to be unsafe (so as to not appear biased against a part of town or something, i guess). so i'm building a case against her. sadly, it seems i can't really take any action until something bad actually happens to the kids - so i dunno... i'm just collecting evidence until i can get them out of there...

That's BS, man... sounds like my ex-wife... no education...can hardly hold a job. The list goes on. I hope your kids can live more peacefully, one day.

McNignog:

thanks man... yeah, i'll get them out eventually. the ex HAS a degree and yet refuses to work. she's still getting trashed (according to the kids), and she'll fark up eventually - hopefully without the kids suffering from her behavior.
