Back to the basics here, the first of 5 Cincinnati area videos.

This video starts on I-75 South Mile 19, goes downtown to I-471 to
Kentucky and back to I-71/I-75 and across the Brent Spence Bridge.
There are some nice skies in this video but due to the time of day
(7:30 - 8PM) some scenes look a little muddy (damn the compression).

Next video: I-71 through downtown (shot starting at the turn around at
the end of this video)

Enjoy,

Nice job on the video!
Now you should take a ride on two of Cinci's favorite "cross towners".
The "Norwood Lateral" and "Cross County Highway" aka "Ronald Reagan
Hwy".
The latter was partially completed for years mainly due to stumbling
blocks on the proposed ROW.
Soon to be Gov. Taft spoke at a meeting and blurted out that that the
highway had been completed. Somebody quickly reminded him it wasn't.
So he made a promise to complete it and did.

If you're going to be in the area for awhile, make sure you stop in
and see "Union Terminal" on Ezzard Charles Dr. Inside, check out the
drinking water fountains. You can have a quiet conversation with
another person at the other one some 300 feet away and tons of people
in between.

A little history, Ezzard Charles was one of the main black boxers who
helped coin the term, "The great white hope" in boxing.

The boundary for Cincinnati on I-75 is interesting. It technically
begins at the 6 mile marker or so. For one mile north of that, belongs
to the city of St. Bernard. Seems like the Cinci cops have a tendancy
to forget that.

I think one of the things I'm going to play around with now is
gathering up all the road videos the group posts and putting them on
my site. Then that way you guys can find the relevant ones easier.
Just post them to youtube and I'll embed them on my site.

Don't forget that neat split section of I-75 just north of the Reagan.
