well, i work for _southern living_ magazine, and i can tell you our style.
our first question would be, "well, how does the band write it?"  and since it
is unclear (often written in all caps, but sometimes Over The Rhine and
sometimes Over the Rhine), we would probably go with our headline style, "All
words in a headline are capitalized except those less than 4 letters that are
articles, prepositions, or conjunctions..."
so that would make it Over the Rhine.
but...  seeing as how otr has never been in our magazine...  i don't know...
