If you hate LeftMaps, ignore this entry

Did you know that Newport, Kentucky, had a James Alley and a Boyd Alley within a block of each other, as an apparent tribute to the actor who played Crank of 'The Electric Company' (even though the alleys were probably built before he was born)?

Well, LeftMaps knows.

It knows because it's just completed bicycling map #13 - central Newport (that portion of the city north of the rail line).

And it's a fine map indeed, because it also shows what may be the only urban prairie in northern Kentucky.

If Newport is considered an "industrial suburb" of Cincinnati, then LeftMaps has a similar relationship with The Online Lunchpail. And we're proud of it.

We're also glad to be unveiling maps in PNG format - which lets us show more detail with less space. So far, 10 of our 13 completed maps have been converted to this format.

So - if you dig detailed Cincinnati area bike maps as much as you ought to - peep LeftMaps:
