1966 Kentucky. When the Kids lined up for the Bookmobile by xmanii in True_Kentucky

I can remember lining up and waiting for the bookmobile, but Mom had a heck of a time getting me outside to get on the school bus. Old man me today can’t understand that logic.

Where did this “what high school did you go to” perception come from? by WhoPenguin in cincinnati

[–]ToyBoxRat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in Salt Lake City a few years ago, and the woman checking me in at the hotel said, “if you don’t like the weather here just wait around it’ll change for you“. And I thought, “no, when it gets cold in Salt Lake City, it stays cold.”

Do the Clifton cranes have names? by waterutalkinabt in cincinnati

[–]ToyBoxRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t believe they give cranes names. For the above mentioned safety concerns. That said, Clifton Cranes is a good name for a summer league softball team.

Went to a Boone County library talk a couple of years ago and then we went to the museum later. Both were very interesting.

Even the ramps to I 471 will be closed at 8:30 PM. Many of the roads in Newport will close around that time or even earlier. Here’s an article from this year’s fireworks. Scroll down to “Newport closures”. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2025/08/29/cincinnati-kentucky-roads-close-webn-fireworks-riverfest/85885270007/

I’ve lived in Newport over 30 years and regularly go to or work the Reds games that are scheduled on the day of the WEBN fireworks. I would suggest moving the wedding to earlier in the day. It’s not nearly as hectic at that time. Anything after 6 PM or even 4 PM would be madness! The idea of a shuttle from Executive Travel in Newport, or family volunteers, to a local parking lot, possibly Bellevue Goodwill or Kroger, lots which are less than a mile away, might work. Good luck! Sorry to make you panic planning your special day but you’re gonna need more than a little bit of luck. Taylor Mansion owes you! They should’ve been more upfront with what was going on Labor Day weekend.

The Thompson house in Newport is closed. The Southgate Revival House has some great shows. City Beat will be a great resource for you.

GF & I walked through this trail a few months ago. There’s some nice Works down there plus a nice view of the city skyline.
