Cincinnati was one of the first large cities to thrive in America's interior,
free of the European influence of the East Coast. Located on the Ohio River, the “Queen
City” abounds with 19th-century Italianate architecture. Procter & Gamble is
practically synonymous with Cincinnati. Other businesses that make their headquarters in
the city include Chiquita, Macy's and Sunny Delight Beverages. Major annual
festivals include the Taste of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Flower Show.
