The Corridor

Home to Northern Kentucky University, Thomas More University, and plenty of outdoor recreational activities, restaurants, shopping, and more, but easily accessible to the rest of the region.

History of The Corridor

The Corridor is not actually a city, but rather a path. Stretching along Interstate 275, it contains cities from Alexandria in the east to Hebron in the west, along with places of importance like the Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). What could be dismissed as nothing more than a ho-hum drive actually has plenty of gems for those in the know.
