OK, some more questions. Why is there a "National Underground Railway Freedom Center" close to the stadium? A national underground railway freedom center? That is confusing. How did the word freedom get into a national underground railway center and do you really need a center like that, and if so, why?
Plus, some more puzzling stuff. How comes you call a whole quarter "Over the Rhine", when my research discovered that the river is actually the Ohio River. German ancestry fine and well, but it's just not the Rhine! You got that one all wrong. Talking of rivers, don't call a river "Licking River". That's just a stupid name for a river. And for anything else apart from ice cream.
Finally, there seems to be a town called "Delhi". Is that some kind of Indian reservation, only for actual Indians? That all is so confusing.
The neighborhood's distinctive name comes from its builders and early residents, Germanimmigrants of the mid-19th century. Many walked to work across bridges over the Miami and Erie Canal, which separated the area from downtown Cincinnati. The canal was nicknamed "the Rhine" in reference to the Rhine River in Germany, and the newly settled area north of the canal as "Over the Rhine."[3][4] In German, the district was called "über den Rhein."
This post was brought to you from River road, just a stones throw from Delhi.
