Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory is on a trip to Gifu, Cincinnati?s sister city in Japan.

City officials from Gifu asked Mallory to visit to talk about what Cincinnati has done and is doing to keep from staying ?quiet,? said Steve Rindsberg, chairman of the Gifu Sister City Committee. He will be touring various businesses and government departments to give speeches.

?In some respects, Gifu has some of the same problems we do,? Rindsberg said. ?People are moving out to suburban communities. There was once a thriving downtown area, and it?s gotten kind of quiet. They?re seeing good things [in Cincinnati] and they want to see what they can do.?

Mallory left Sunday and returns Monday. ?Gifu and Cincinnati are splitting the cost of the trip.

Listed in his itinerary are designated snack times and quantities for small gifts to give at each location.

It is the 25th anniversary of Cincinnati?s union with Gifu as sister cities.
