The city's largest viaduct, the Western Hills Viaduct was built between 1930 and 1932 as part of the Union Terminal Project. Taken at sunset the day of the blizzard of 2008.
Hahahahaha! Myself and a friend of mine, Jeffy Fingers, got suspended for a couple of daysin the seventh grade because I traded him an empty 1975 World Series Reds Hudepohl can for a full Burger beer can because Burger had been discontinued. Some doof was going through lockers and found the full can and told on us. Funny thing was, he didn't get in trouble for going through lockers! Got to love Highlands!
Mr. Doan, our assistant principal walked up to me between 4th and 5th period when I was getting my books together for my next class. Mr. Doan was awesome because he talked like Porky fom Porky's. "Now son...why do you have... an alcoholic beverage in your locker?" He was a short man who kind of looked like an older Kirk Douglas (at the time) who's sport coat looked like a 1968 Volkswagen was missing seat cushions.
Kenny do you ever check your email or your spam box? We sent out a search party email looking for you! Bill, that's a great story! Except for that I got bored. And I have a great idea, let's just get a really long extension cord, we can plug it in at our house and drive to Colerain Twp (wherever that is!) and plug in the clowns. :)

Great shot Slake. Is that a Blatz billboard I see in the background?
Slakejustice says:
You know...Blatz is the beer that made Cincinnati burp.
K Dunn says:
I thought it was Burper...I mean Burger.

Slakejustice says:
I think that I would have to keep the 1975 World Series Hudepohl..then and now.
