Cincinnati Gardens

The Cincinnati Gardens was opened in 1949 and is an indoor sports and entertainment arena located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The 25,000 square foot brick and limestone building, whose entrance is decorated with six three-dimensional carved athletic figures, was modeled after Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada, by the same architects and engineers who designed and built the more famous arena a quarter century earlier. The Cincinnati Gardens' first event was an exhibition hockey game. It has been the home of six league championship hockey teams, and most recently was the home of the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the American Hockey League.

The Cincinnati Wings played the 1963-64 season at the Gardens, relocating from Indianapolis after their home arena, the Fairgrounds Coliseum, was heavily damaged in an explosion on Halloween Night, 1963.

The Gardens was home to the Cincinnati Royals of the National basketball Ass, the Sacramento Kings from 1957 through 1972. Oscar Robertson played for the Royals from 1960 through 1970. The arena hosted the NBA All Star Game in January 1966, and Royals' guard Adrian Smith was named the game's Most Valuable Player. College basketball, including 42 "Crosstown Shootout" games between the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University, has been played at the Gardens since its first week in 1949. The arena has served as the home court for both schools at various times, lastly for Xavier from 1983 until their move to the on-campus Cintas Center in 2000.
The Gardens has hosted a number of boxing matches, particularly several featuring prominent local & international fighters. Eventual Heavyweight champion and Hall of Famer Ezzard Charles of Cincinnati defeated Joey Maxim in a heavyweight title contender fight on February 28, 1949, in the arena's first week.

Graeters Icecream!

Cincinnati is home to Graeter's ice cream. Graeter's, founded in 1870 by Louis C. Graeter, is a Cincinnati tradition with Graeter's French Pot ice cream, handmade chocolate confections and fresh baked goods found at locations all over the city. Today, the Graeter family, consisting of three grandchildren and three great-grandsons of Louis Graeter, still faithfully use the over one-century old recipes and methods of production in the Reading Road plant.

In the mid 1800’s, the Graeter family emigrated from Germany to a farm in Madison, Indiana. Louis left home at age 16 and came to Cincinnati, where he began making ice cream by hand at the base of Sycamore Hill. After meeting with success there, he moved up to Walnut Hills and where he began making candy in addition to ice cream at his new shop on the corner of Gilbert and Curtis. In 1879, Louis, his brother Fred and Fred’s wife Anna moved their growing ice cream and confection shop to 473 McMillan Street. They operated the business together until 1888, when Louis left Cincinnati for California.

Fred and Anna moved the shop in 1889 to Vine Street and continued the ice cream and confection business without brother Louis for the rest of the 1800’s. In 1899, Louis returned to Cincinnati and married Regina Berger, daughter of Anton Berger, who was president of the Julius J. Bantlin Company and the Calhoun Loan and Building Company. Together they opened a store on East McMillan Street which eventually grew into the modern day Graeter’s.

After Louis Regina and her two teenage sons Wilmer and Paul continued the tradition of quality Louis Graeter began back in 1870, and began opening additional stores in other Cincinnati neighborhood communities in the 1920’s. Finally, in 1934 the business outgrew its McMillan Street location and the family moved the manufacturing part of the business to its present day location at 2145 Reading Road.

Today Graeter's has stores located around Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton in Ohio, and around Lexington, Louisville, and North Kentucky.
