This Youtuber thinks Cincinnati is an underrated city. Local fans of @quintonreviews were in for a delightful surprise when at the five hour and fifteen minute mark of “The Decay of Sam and Cat,” the creator stopped to talk about how much he loves Cincinnati.
“I love a city where it feels like you can never run out of stupid museums that you’ve never gone to,” raved the reviewer. Of course to Quinton, calling a museum “stupid” is the highest form of flattery. Union Terminal, Jungle Jim’s, and especially the American Sign Museum all received shout-outs in this six and a half hour long video with 1.8 million views.
