CINCINNATI — President Bill Clinton’s arrival in Cincinnati Friday to host a Get Out the Vote fundraiser for wife and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has a lot of area Democrats excited.
It could also mean delays or closures on some East End, Mt. Lookout, Hyde Park, Walnut Hills and Clifton streets.
Traditionally, visiting political figures tend to arrive into the city at Lunken Airport in East End. With the doors set to open at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center at 2 p.m., Clinton and his cohort could arrive at Lunken as early as 11 a.m. or noon.

- William Howard Taft Drive
- Victory Parkway
- Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
- Clifton Ave.
