Cincinnati- Part 7

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM CINCINNATI IF... (FINAL POST IN THIS SERIES)

you are never more than 20 minutes from anything and everything

you actually know what "Who Dey!" means

you are convinced the Bengals will never win another playoff game and the Reds will never play in another World Series

You hate Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and St. Louis even though you've never been there

you think Pete Rose got a raw deal even when you know he was guilty as sin

you know Dayton is Cincinnati's red-headed step child

you experience winter and summer in the same week and it doesn't surprise you

you've ever wondered how long it would take to drive the entire 275 loop and considered trying it

you cried when Riverfront Stadium was demolished (or maybe that was just me)

You could buy "Top 6" tickets for $3 and see a doubleheader (Yep! I actually did this)

You remember the "Freezer Bowl" and swear you were there with no shirt on (I wasn't)

You seethe with anger when you hear anything about the San Francisco 49ers because they beat the Bengals in both Super Bowls

You love the view of the skyline as you drive up I-75 out of Kentucky

you fondly remember the revolving restaurant in Covington even if the food was crappy

you miss places like Caddy's and Sleep Out Louie's

you thought you were the dancing king at clubs like Burgundy's, Mr. K's, and Bonkers

you cut your teeth on beers like Burger, Burger Light, Hudepohl, Hudy Delight, Drewery's, or Schoenling Little Kings
