In our seventh installment of the West End Stories Project, we spoke with award-winning photojournalist, Melvin Grier who worked for the Cincinnati Post from 1974 until it ceased publication in 2007. Mr. Grier was at the top of our interview wish list, and responded to our write-up in the Cincinnati Enquirer where we expressed interest in interviewing him for the project. He grew up in the old West End, on W. Fifth Street, and attended Holy Trinity School in the forties.
With the COVID-19 pandemic in mind, the West End Stories Project has shifted from a video series to a podcast, so interviews are being conducted over the phone. If you or someone you know lived or spent a significant amount of time in the West End, please consider sharing your story. Call 513-369-6900 or email westend@cincinnatilibrary.org for more information.
