A November wind pushes through the long seams of brick and cast-iron in Over-the-Rhine as your group gathers at the corner of Vine and 14th. Streetlamps throw narrow cones of light; the sidewalks feel older here, the buildings watching. On a two-hour evening walk you'll move through alleys and plazas where the city’s past insists on being heard.
