[Fading Advertisements] Forgotten Frisch's
Renovations rounding out the redevelopment of a downtown block bring some old signs back to life, each with their own unique story.
The Extraordinary Story of the Cincinnati Comets
All that remains of the Comets' story is a small Wikipedia page, a few online factoids, and articles in newspaper archives. I think the team's story is one worth telling—one that should be remembered alongside the story of American soccer’s evolution, of Cincinnati’s departed NBA team, and of the city's missed chance at an NHL team.
The Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum
In Eastern Ohio, the roadside collection of a humble reverend who's legacy is preserved in the form of unique office supplies.
Fading Advertisements: Wiedemann's Fine Bohemian-Style Beer + Wiedemann and Dreidame Inc.
A local brew making a comeback still has signs of its past around town.
Nope, here's a lesson on why you don't assume things.
The Dayton Arcade
I had heard about it for years, occasionally seen photographs, but to see it in person. I was taken aback.
The Cincinnati Gardens and The Press Box That Never Was

The Stanley Cup is one of the most revered and hallowed trophies in all of professional sports. Its roots trace back to 1892 and each spring it's awarded to the champions of the National Hockey League. There's only one occasion where you'll catch it in Cincinnati—a city without an NHL team to win it, but a city that almost had one.
[Views of Cincinnati] Legend of the Larz Andersons
Last week I resumed shooting my 224 Views of Cincinnati series.
Union Terminal: A Jewel in the Crown of the Queen City.
It's one of the most prolific icons of Cincinnati, one of the finest examples of Art Deco in the world, a symbol of America's rise as a super power and one of the region's largest tourist attractions. From the steel superstructure, to the roof to the inner workings of its clock, check out Union Terminal like you've never seen it before. I recently had the privilege of joining a group of photographers touring the ins and outs of one of the city's greatest treasures, but it's a treasure we almost lost.
When Crosley was King

The thread was nearly two years old at the time and I wasn't sure if the user who posted them was still active on the message board, but I knew I needed to contact him. Why? Because I had a project in mind.
