I wish my dad would have been into road trips like you are! Getting him to go somewhere was like pulling teeth. I hope your son enjoys all the great rides and realizes how fortunate he is. You rock!

I’ve been all over the USA and Canada and I still think the view coming down the hill of the skyline is one of the best skyline views in North America.

Gotta agree, it's a pretty special view.

Freewayjim exiting the tunnel and seeing Pittsburgh from the bridge is maybe a better view or nyc when you get close to jersey city. But this is easily top 5

what I wish I would see in Texas where I live are those standard purple mile markers posted in the median every 2/10 mile that I have noticed on google maps they have them in urban areas in Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky , Tennessee, and in Missouri, green mile markers (posted every 2/10 mile) are posted on the right and through the entire state in urban and rural areas. Sometimes posted every 1/10 mile in some cities of IN, Kenosha-Racine County WI, It would be fun to count.

The Kentucky side sight of Cincinnati is better but from what I hear, the "Cut in the hill" route has been changed. I loved Cincinnati. It was/is a great place to live and work. It has it's nasty dirty side that I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to live in, but even those spots add to the over all color of Cincinnati. I will say when I lived there the cops were more likely to pull a black guy over than a white guy and I am white. They were the perfect example of racial profiling at its worst and it was soooo obvious. I hope they've cleaned that up since I left in 01 but I doubt it.
@BeckettSong9 жыл бұрын
You must be referring to what I like to call "West Cincinnati" which just to be perfectly clear is not an incorporated city/village but just an area that most refer to as "The West Side". One of Cinci's nicer looking neighborhood's is East Cincinnati's "Hyde Park". There just happens to be a Boston neighborhood of the same name where the Neponset river flows.
