Relatedly, another fun fact is that Cincinnati also had a street car system that was a regional envy and compared favorably to San Francisco's. One hill climb especially was remarked upon at the time as being as scenic if not more so than the scenic cable car lines that have become preserved and enshrined as such tourist destinations in San Francisco. (Some of the historic cars that have been restored and put back into use by San Francisco even originated on that Cincinnati line.)

Possibly more so than just about any other city in the midwest (though they all made mistakes), Cincinnati has possibly the craziest history of paved over and unfinished projects.
