The Nati

While I personally love downtown, and feel perfectly safe, I recognize that's not everyone's opinion. Downtown Cincinnati Incorporated is a fantastic organization that does real tangible things to improve downtown. While they don't 'move the fountain' or 'tear down the skywalk', they are able to put together some programs like the Downtown Ambassadors (those people in yellow you see around town answer questions, and picking up litter), and the virtual blockwatch program.

They also do a fantastic job of providing real metrics to measure how things are going, and create targeted responses to the data they collect. So fill out their Winter Survey and let them know how you feel about downtown, and what needs to be improved.

And if you are ever looking for a downtown restaurant, retailer, etc, their website is a great resource
