Instagram is a great social media tool to feel caught up in the moment of all the wonderful content creators out there. But getting started with Instagram can be a challenge. Do you just follow all the people you already have as friends on Facebook? You can, but if you’re seeing their content somewhere else, why not make Instagram a place for something different? Fill your feed with some great local images and people from around the world!
There’s a whole series of these for different cities, but being in the Midwest, we get a kick out of some of the things that come in in far flung Los Angeles, sometimes fitting the stereotypes so many people around here have of LA, and sometimes proving that we’re really not so different. There have been a few attempts to launch an Overheard Cincinnati account, but so far none of them have really taken off, we’re holding out hope that will change soon!

Unfortunately, life doesn’t always allow for that sort of thing, so instead we have Instagram accounts like Discover Ocean, which has breathtaking underwater photography to let you enjoy the beauty of the ocean.
