Bethesda Ave, Corryville

Recently... I have no idea when... Bethesda Av. was renamed Albert Sabin Way. That's a good thing because Dr. Sabin lived in Cincinnati when he made some key discoveries about polio that led to his oral vaccine (I remember lining up to receive one of those early doses on a sugar cube at Madisonville Elementary School.)

For years Cincinnati Convention Center was named after Dr. Sabin, but a local power company now has that honor. Perhaps his new street is an even better idea as it's the location of Children's Hospital where Dr. Sabin began his historic polio research.

Children's Hospital is the biggest thing on Bethesda Ave./Albert Sabin Way. There are several other medical buildings on the street as well, along with a parking garage for easier access. Buses don't travel the street, but several routes service adjacent streets where University Hospital and several other major medical facilities are located.

Employees of medical facilities located on Albert Sabin Way don't have many options for fine dining, but they do have a cafeteria on the premises. There are also several fast food options nearby on MLK Dr. and Burnet Ave. It's five minutes to the Short Vine shopping area and 10 minutes to The Heights. For a quick getaway, they are minutes away from the Cincinnati Zoo and Burnett Woods.

There are no residences on Albert Sabin Way but there are lots of great condos and apartments nearby for students and medical personnel.
