Nuts and bolts that never rust

Down through the years Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth has helped build an urban planner’s brief case full of parks, playgrounds, and planters. And as he paused while he worked on another one Tuesday, he wondered.

“I’ve driven by a lot them now,” says Whitworth, celebrating the 10th anniversary of his rookie season. “And I think, that’s about seven years ago, how much have they enjoyed that spot? Do they even know the guys that came to work on it? You don’t realize how long it’s been.”

If he talks to Jonathan Brown, he knows exactly what the students of William Howard Taft Elementary School are going to think about his handiwork and that of his teammates.
