T his is a detail that is missed by people who don't look up. Flanking the entrance to the Sawyer Point park on the Ohio River are a set of steamboat stacks. At the top are four flying pigs, celebrating the city of Cincinnati's one-thriving hog processing and packing industry. In the television program "WKRP In Cincinnati" newsman Les Nesman won a number of fictional "Silver Sow" awards. The pork industry has since moved to Iowa and the Carolinas, but locals still affectionately refer to Cincinnati as "Porkopolis."
