Straighten Up

Nothing sobers you up quite like a long walk home up this street. Trust me on this one.

Straight Street is crazy straight and crazy steep (the steepest part is hard to see in the photo). Coming from Piqua, it still makes me a little nervous to take anything down this hill. Now, imagine life without I-75 and add another half mile to the street. I imagine that's the way it was back in the day.

Over the course of .87mi the land rises well over 300ft and most of that rise happens in about .4mi. I'm sure there are cities with steeper streets but I haven't seen them yet.
