Known locally as the "Big Mac Bridge" because it's yellow and vaguely resembles part of the McDonald's M. The real magic is where this bridge takes you. Going northbound, you zip along much faster than the other Cincinnati bridges, but at the end, you enter a tangled mess of ramps leading to god knows where, and in your hurry, instead of reading the signs you take the one that "seemed logical" and instead of zipping up 71 to where ever your original destination was, you're on Columbia Parkway, with its narrow, curvy lanes, where people drive no slower than 80. Suddenly you're in a part of town you didn't know existed, but it looks nice enough and you've got some time so you keep going. Eventually you stop to turn around and just so happen to find The Precinct, a restaurant you've heard about from your well-off friends. Now that you know where it is, maybe you'll take your wife there for your anniversary and she'll finally understand that, though you've been frugal in the past, you really do love her.
