Charlie Hustle - the name means baseball, Cincinnati, the Reds, and of course, Pete Rose. Author Keith O’Brien spent years interviewing Rose’s associates, investigators, and Pete himself to get the first-hand information regarding the glory and the ugliness of Cincinnati’s most famous baseball player. O’Brien left no stone unturned digging for the truth about Pete’s human failings that caused his fall from grace. O’Brien’s research even led him to the archives of the Delhi Historical Society.

The result is the book Charlie Hustle, the Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball, to be released March 26, 2024.

Kirkus Reviews calls O’Brien’s book, “the definitive account of the life and times of Rose” and a “masterpiece of a sports biography.”

By special arrangement with the author and his publisher, Keith O’Brien will give a talk about his book to the Delhi Historical Society

Explore the eccentric side of yesterday's Queen City. Cincinnatians today wrap themselves in a comforting blanket of serene conformity, soothed by the myth that the Queen City has always been a bland, somewhat Germanic, little backwater town. History tells us otherwise. Old Cincinnati was a pretty strange place. UFOs? Witchcraft? Sea Monsters? Occult societies? Public executions? Buckle up as author Greg Hand leads a rambunctious tour through the old, weird Cincinnati.    

This program will be at the Delhi Senior & Community Center
647 Neeb Rd, Delhi, OH 45238

This FACEBOOK LiVE Program, presented by Pete Pritchard, DHS board member and director of the Delhi Fire Museum, takes al look at the interesting and sometimes whimisical names for Delhi Township streets.

There are 323 streets in the township.... Some named for the landowner who the property was purchased from or from the developers family members. It's quite interesting that some street names are a combination of two family members' names such as Betlin Ct. which is Betty and Linda as an example. Morrvue Dr. is named after longtime Delhi leader Fred Morr. Palisades Dr. was named by the Greater Cinti. Home Builders Assn for the Homerama show for 1968.

Main county-owned street names tell their own interesting stories and how these roads traverse many local communities.
