Everyone in Cincinnati knows Jim Tarbell. He is the city’s most beloved merrymaker. He has produced concerts with the biggest stars; organized extravagant galas and celebrations; welcomed with open arms customers to his restaurants, Arnold’s and Grammer’s; and spent his career on City Council talking to folks on the street. But he is much more. He is a dedicated urban pioneer who understands what is necessary to make cities exciting places to live. Using his talent at bringing people together, he helped transform Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. He has proven that with hard work and commitment one person can make a difference.

About Buck Niehoff
Buck Niehoff is a retired attorney who specialized in municipal bond law. Many people consider that profession to be a bit dry. However, he thought it was very interesting. He has served as the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the University of Cincinnati and was co-chair of the “Proudly Cincinnati” capital campaign which raised nearly $1.1 billion; Chair of the Hamilton County Republican Party; Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Cincinnati Museum Center; President of The Mercantile Library; and founding President of The Corporation for Findlay Market. He and his wife Patti live in Cincinnati’s Hyde Park neighborhood where his family has resided since 1870. His son Peter lives with his wife Betsy and their son Oliver in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill.
