“Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.”

one forty plus: Bed:

My whole life I’ve hated going to bed. I like falling asleep instead. Falling asleep is so much better than going to bed because you don’t get tangled up in the logistics. Falling asleep happens for you, even if it means waking up at eight to the sun assaulting your eyes while a block of metal…

I happen to agree.

The group uses its panoramic photograph as its signature graphic. It can be seen on its Web site; a slightly retouched and reformatted version accompanies this story. Like so many other memorable shots of the city’s skyline, it is looking out toward the urban basin from a hillside park.

But this is a little stranger than most. Looming over the skyline, so close they dominate the view, are two huge, rounded shapes. The top one is so close its circularity appears blurred. Flying saucers? Floating mushrooms? Lily pads? Giant vinyl LPs?

No, the visible concrete indentations give the origin away — as should the fact that this is Bellevue Hill Park. They are the concrete pergolas (supported by columns) that Cincinnati architect R. Carl Freund designed as part of a pavilion built in 1955, when optimistic, progressive post-war Modernism — with its emphasis on unadorned openness and shapes with strong, clear lines and curves — was sweeping American architecture and design. They provided shade and cover at an area once used for dancing.

First White Castle (in Ohio)

This image depicts the first Ohio White Castle, built in Cincinnati in 1929. This image measures 7.25 by 9.25” (18.42 by 23.50 cm). In the 1920s, White Castle introduced the concept of fast food, chain restaurants and “sliders” to the American people. Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson founded the White Castle restaurant chain in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921. Seeking a more central location as the business expanded, Ingram moved the headquarters to Columbus in 1934, thus earning the city the title “Hamburger Capital of the World.” Part of White Castle’s success can be attributed to its innovative production equipment, marketing strategies, and trademark steel and porcelain enamel buildings.

Cincinnati Seen from the Newport Bridge

This photograph shows the city of Cincinnati, Ohio from the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. In the foreground is the Roebling Suspension Bridge, also known as the Newport Bridge, which connects Covington and Cincinnati. The bridge, which has a 500-foot span between columns, was built in 1867.

This photograph was published in Book of Views of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1904 by the S. H. Knox & Company. Published not quite 125 years after the first settlers, it promotes the Queen City as a prosperous, burgeoning manufacturing center, and a desirable place to live. The booklet is 48 pages and measures 8” x 10” (20.32 x 25.4 cm).

“Mr. Goldman scored Honest Tea’s first notable sale, to Whole Foods Market, by carting in several insulated containers of teas and a sample bottle — an empty Snapple container with a makeshift label — that persuaded the grocer to order several cases.”

I love stories like that.

Newspaper to Charge People to Comment

Newspaper to Charge People to Comment:

marco:

(via nostrich, sasquatchmedia)

From tomorrow, the Sun Chronicle, a Massachusetts paper, will charge would-be commenters a nominal one-off fee of 99 cents. But it has to be paid by credit card, which means providing a real name and address.

And the name on the credit card will be the name that will appear on comments. So it’s goodbye to anonymity.

This is an excellent idea, and I bet it will work: there will still be plenty of comments (not as many, but enough), and they’ll be more civil, more intelligent, and better written.
