‘Cincinnati Drive-By’ creatively tours the Queen City’s urban core

University of Cincinnati Electronic Media graduate Zachary Herche has put together a 3:20 driving tour of Cincinnati’s urban core. The video takes viewers through downtown’s financial district, Over-the-Rhine’s Gateway Quarter and across several bridges spanning the Ohio River.

In an attempt to capture the many changes taking place in Cincinnati’s urban core, Zachary Herche decided to do what it is he is passionate about and make a video of the city.

“Production and editing is my passion,” said Herche. I think Cincinnati is a beautiful city and I wanted to show as much as I could of it by driving around.”

Herche lives in Mt. Adams and is attending the University of Cincinnati’s acclaimed College Conservatory of Music (CCM) where he is studying Electronic Media. He currently works for Prime Productions and says that he wanted to capture some of the city’s historic architecture and collection of bridges over the Ohio River.

“It is interesting to see some of the transformations happening around the city recently,” Herche continued. “It seems like there is so much in the works here, and I’m excited to see it all come together.”

Cincinnati Drive-By features the song “Grace Kelly” by Mika in the video.
