The Kenneth Babyface Edmonds Memorial Highway

Uh huh. Babyface has a Highway. No, not Babyface Nelson. The Babyface of your late 80s/​early 90s that swept you off your feet with his suave & sophisticated R&B music!
I thought my Babyface love began & ended with the lovely acoustic «When Can I See You Again,» and, then!, I checked out what he wrote & produced! From Boyz II Men’s «End of the Road» & «I’ll Make Love to You,» to his production of the cassette that forever changed my life: «Ohhhhhhhhhhh… on the TLC Tip!» I had no idea he was behind so damn much! The list keeps going… Sheena Easton, Madonna, Clapton, et al.
I’m pretty proud of this slightly kitsche-​y fact of Indy, and that, considering we are the Crossroads of the Universe, travelers are seeing this sign & driving on the Babyface Highway all the time. Sure, it’d be expected to have a main stretch be named after Manning, Reagan, The Coug & Larry Bird; instead, Babyface; hot damn, I like it.
To review more than just the name… The Babyface Highway is the 25-​mile stretch inside 465 — snaking from the Southeast corner to the Northwest corner. You can count on a bottle neck at the I-​70 interchange, so get that Babyface playlist /​mix tape ready to jam to while you’re in traffic!
