Back to the Ohio River.  On the last episode of this little Post-Apocalyptic Cincinnati thing the biggest issue was water, so we're heading back downtown for easy access once again! Paul Brown Stadium is home to the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Stadium itself seems like it would be easy enough to defend.  You could post up a few snipers and have some pretty good coverage.  What I like about it is ability to sustain some electricity.  You could line the tops of the stadium with some makeshift windmills.  At that height, you should have some sustained winds that could keep it flowing.  Plus, being near the river helps with the wind sweeping through.  The field could be a solar panel field that would get sunlight throughout the entire day.   The land surrounding Paul Brown is perfect for planting crops.  It has easy access to water with the Ohio River being adjacent to it and running the entire length of the area.  The ...

I went with something a little different this time.  In reality I don't really think this place would work out.  This complex would hold a huge population, but there are several drawbacks to the location.  The biggest being the lack of access to water, which is almost deal breaker right away. The structures above are renovated dormitories at the University of Cincinnati.  When I attended classes there, these were absolute dumps.  Obviously, they look much better now.  Securing a population in these towers would be fairly simple.  Secure the bottom floor and riflemen, along with booby traps, on the roof would certainly help deter attackers.
