WAW for legend/legendary in a sport context (details in comment)

As a football/soccer fan, I feel the word legendary/legend is over used. To me, legendary can over emphasize the importance of some players/games/plays. I can't really explain this without giving up the team I support (not embarrassed by it, I just want to avoid partisanship), but there's no other way to do so adequately, so...

At Liverpool, we have legendary players like Dalglish and Gerrard. We have legendary plays/games ("corner taken quickly", Istanbul '05). But to keep this going, the person who scored that "corner taken quickly" goal is not really "legendary", though he is universally adored by the fan base. A third string keeper who came on for a 3.5 game stretch certainly isn't legendary, but definitely became part of the lore amongst fans.

What word fits? Iconic seems to over emphasize them, mythical seems right but gives a sense of fiction.

Thanks

Has your hometown/city had a serial killer?

We've had two in my lifetime, the Alphabet Murders and The Genesee River Killer.

The first happened when I was about 7 years old, the second when I moved back in 88. While my city isn't large, it's not that small. Just learned that I lived on the same block for part of the time the second was active.

Bars that serve n/a infused drinks?

First, let me go on record as saying bars sound be able to serve infused drinks. The product is more regulated than what they're already serving, and they're already in the business of not serving to underage persons.

That said, I've heard rumors that since bars are serving them, any idea who?

My wife is enamored of Pallas's cats. We're from western NY, but I'm in Indianapolis twice a month, so I was thinking one week I'd drive here, have her fly out to meet me, then we would stop at the Cincinnati Zoo for ???(how much time can two older adults reasonably spend there?), head to Columbus as they seem to have a Pallas's cat exhibit, then work out way home. She'd arrive in the afternoon, we'd would head to Cincy, spend the night, zoo, drive to Columbus, spend the night, Cbus zoo, then do the 6 hours home.

Main question is whether the Pallas's cat exhibit is worthwhile, though

Thanks
