content: Oral history interview with Steven "Steve" Hampton, executive director of the Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (BDCURC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Topics covered include Hampton's study of architecture and interest in historic rehabilitation; the appeal of Cincinnati's architectural history; the history of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, especially its German immigrants and their breweries; the importance of Cincinnati's breweries on national and international scales; and the realization that Over-the-Rhine's beer history could serve as a lens for redevelopment. Hampton also talks about forming BDCURC in 2005; the non-profit's efforts to teach visitors about Cincinnati's brewing past via a Brewery Heritage Trail, public art, signage, and public events like the annual Bockfest; and dynamics among non-profits, residents, and municipal authorities related to redevelopment of Over-the-Rhine.
