College Hill: "Twenty Minutes from Everywhere"
|
|
Saying that College Hill is "Twenty Minutes from
Everywhere" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much.
Your editor used Google Maps to check out some driving times
and found that College Hill is within 20 minutes of a lot of
people who could do business in College Hill and a lot of
places that College Hill people might want to get to. Here are
some examples:
- Mount Airy Forest, 5 minutes.
- Winton Woods, 11 minutes.
- UC and the hospital complex, 12 minutes
- Downtown (Ball Park, Stadium, Convention Center, etc) 14
minutes
- Xavier, 15 minutes
- GE Evendale, 15 minutes.
- Montgomery, 18 minutes
- Covington, 18 minutes
- Miami-Whitewater Forest, 18 minutes
- Hyde Park, 19 minutes
- Eden Park (Playhouse in the Park, Art Museum,
Conservatory, etc), 18 minutes.
- Glendale, 19 minutes
- Newport, 20 minutes
- All local P&G locations but one are within 20 minutes
