To quote Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place, “I was a medium person. I should get to spend eternity in a medium place! Like Cincinnati.”

I spent a few nights in Cincinnati several years ago and it was a surprisingly above-average place. Here’s an idea to make it a better place: copy the Big Dig in Boston and cover up the sunken highway between Elm Street and Main Street, then put park space on top of it.

Is there already a plan for this? Here’s the satellite view from Google Maps. You can see it better in 3D.

Found this from October 2022 which involved capping Fort Washington Way and putting a park on it.

Won’t be happening anytime soon, though.

Thanks. I’m glad they have the plans, and I hope they can successfully apply for the grants soon.

This will be in Newport, Kentucky (across the Ohio River from Cincinnati).

RIP Jimmy Buffett.

They should tear down a Walmart and put up a stadium.
