This page serves as a portal to the Final Archive of CincinnatiViews prior to the death of Don Prout. Mr. Prout was the owner and of webmaster of CincinnatiViews. Sadly, he passed away in 2019 and the original website is now offline. This wonderful site was fortunately backed up at the Internet Archive at Archive.org. The above links will take you to the most complete version of the page from May 2019, which happens to be the month Mr. Prout Died.

What Don Prout provided us with was an archive of times past, places long gone, and memories forgotten. The original site is of an older style, reminiscent of the early internet from the mid-1990’s. As such, the original site serves as an reminder of a simpler internet from ages past. A bygone era of technology, where pages were simply text and static images with simple links.

The buttons above are links to sub-pages stored at the Internet Archive and can be slow at times. Please have patience. It is kind of like being on and old modem, waiting for the page to load.

Thanks Mr. Prout. Thanks for the memories.
