This kid is one smooth criminal

As posted on Urban Cincy:

Last year Vimeo organized a global project entitled Cities in Minutes. The project was intended to showcase individual cities through time lapse photography. In Cincinnati, Michael Weston and Joel Beeby put together a one minute, fourteen second video that he submitted as part of the global project that now features 69 entries from around the world.

The Cincinnati time lapse video starts over the majestic Ohio River on the popular Purple People Bridge and showcases a dramatic skyline view. From there the video moves to Fountain Square and downtown Cincinnati, then to Mt. Adams for a view of the “Big Mac” Bridge, and eventually out to Mariemont.

Weston and Beeby shot the video in summer 2010, and significant construction progress of the Great American Tower at Queen City Square is visible along with a festive atmosphere on Fountain Square.

 

Doesn't help that Wednesday is also the bob damned day old people need to go grocery shopping, lest their souls abandon them.

Police: Man makes bomb threat at Kroger after prescription took too long to fill

 

CINCINNATI - A man allegedly made a bomb threat at a Kroger store after police say he was upset over how much time it was taking to fill his prescription.

Police say 58-year-old Gregory Pursley, of Fairfax, made the threat at the store on Wooster Pike.

Sheriff's investigators say Pursley became displeased with the amount of time it was taking to fill his prescription Monday night and told someone at the pharmacy that if it was not ready in time, he was going to blow the place up.

Pursley was arrested Tuesday night and remains behind bars at the Hamilton County Justice Center.

He is charged with telecommunications harrassment

I have to say, I kinda feel for the guy. Especially since I am sure there were people preparing for the Armageddon that is fast approaching on Thursday (aka we might get some more snow). There is something about Cincinnatians and Kroger, where they feel the need to take up as much space as possible and move like molasses. Although, this guy does look like he would have no qualms killing a schoolbus full of puppies because they weren't driving fast enough:

That really is the only explanation on him declaring March 17th Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 

(that, or he is a major idiot...)

New Ohio Governor John Kasich has apparently confused St. Patrick's Day with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, at least that's what this proclamation, declaring March 17, 2011 as MLK Day, seems to indicate.

I am sure this will only be interesting to no one, but DAAP was recently highlighted on Core77 for the work done in a conceptual bicycle design class. The ideas put together were pretty interesting, but the video they (the students, not Core77) put together was like an eye rape.
