When they rebuilt the expressway that goes across the riverfront, they created a new Second Street (the old Second Street was what had been renamed Pete Rose Way) and routed all the exits onto that, which downgraded Pete Rose Way in importance as a thoroughfare <I>and</I> meant there were no longer any Pete Rose Way exits, with accompanying signage, from the highway, as there had been previously. I thought that was pretty sneaky, but it helped save face...<BR/><BR/>A pic of the original Pete Rose Way exit here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/zfww1998-9.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-9139634016696087962007-06-04T17:06:00.000-05:002007-06-04T17:06:00.000-05:00Sarah - yeah, that's not a good name at all, I'd b...Sarah - yeah, that's not a good name at all, I'd bet (sorry, I couldn't resist). :o)<BR/><BR/>Jibble - you're right, but we shouldn't villify one guy because of the actions of others.

Mainly because they still have a chance to villify themselves. But in the case of the PEnguins, they should change thier Penguin mascot to one wearing a #66.
