On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays the SIXTH STREET MARKET,
reading from Elm St. to Central Ave. on Sixth St. is filled with sights, sounds
and odors characteristic of open-air produce stands and milling shoppers.
Two German-style market houses stand in the middle of the broad street; one has
meat, poultry, and dairy products stalls, and the other bright flower shops.
The makeshift kiosks lining both sides of the street, with their pyramids of
melons, beans, berries, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, the fast
patter of vendors, and the snooping and haggling of shoppers, make the market a
colorful place. - Cincinnati: A Guide to the Queen City and Its Neighbors,
Tour 5, pg. 185
The site is not as colorful of a location now. Sixth Street from Elm to
Central is now lined on one side by the Duke Energy Convention Center and the
other by a large parking garage services the Center.
