The economic life of West Price Hill — told from the inside.
No VC funding. No business plan on a pitch deck. No profile in Cincinnati Business Courier. Just a porch, a skill, a WhatsApp group, and thirty years of loyal customers who never needed a Yelp review to know where to go. West Price Hill’s economy runs on trust and word of mouth — on the barber who has been cutting the same families since 1998, the woman with the waitlist who started selling from her front step, the community garden that feeds fourteen families and started as an argument about a vacant lot. This series covers small businesses, side enterprises, mutual aid, and the quiet entrepreneurship of a neighborhood that has always known how to take care of itself.
