The
Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
in Cincinnati, Ohio
May 2022 |
NOTE : The
majority of the people that the Two RV Gypsies walked by while exploring
downtown Cincinnati, smiled and said hello to them. Men, Women, and
children of all races. Impressive.
Everywhere the two RV Gypsies went, they had to pay for parking. Parking
fees increased 2X and sometimes even 3X when the Reds were playing. |

cute sayings on the wall, as shown below the restaurant photo. Unfortunately,

a 4th panel, but people were sitting in front of it. |
