This program is designed to be played in your vehicle while driving Interstate 71 south from Columbus to Cincinnati, Ohio. It offers a timed commentary on the region featuring its people, history, geography and especially stories that are unique to the area this highway takes us through. This section of Interstate 71 links Columbus, Ohios newest big city, with Cincinnati, Ohios oldest big city. The region in between is mostly flat farmland which was settled by Virginians who had been given land in payment for their military service during the American revolution. The early Virginia presence has given the region a characteristic Southern feeling. Note the barns as we drive this route. Most are in good repair, indicating that farming in this region remains profitable. But wooden barns are slowly disappearing from the landscape. During the last fifty years, about half of our wooden barns have been lost. Midway through our journey, well pass Wilmington, one of Americas picturesque small towns. It also claims to be birthplace of an institution: the banana split. According to the story, Ernest Hazardowner of a restaurant appropriately called Hazardscreated the concoction on a cold wintry day in 1907. We then enter the Cincinnati metropolitan area. As the Wests first large city, things happened first in Cincinnati. Such as, the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, was organized in 1869. The nations first public weather service was located in Cincinnati, the first air mail left Cincinnati by hot air balloon, and the nations first train robbery took place in a suburb of Cincinnati. Cincinnati is the first city in nation to establish a Jewish hospital and a Jewish theological college, Hebrew Union College. And get this: Cincinnati is the first and only US city to build and own a railroad, the Cincinnati Southern RR.
