To bob or not to bob? One hundred years ago, most men in Cincinnati believed women had got all the doggone progress they deserved. Women could vote, they were driving cars, they smoked ci******es, and some women – gasp! – had jobs. In 1924, Cincinnati women discovered a new way to exasperate men. They had the nerve to cut their hair. Read more: https://ow.ly/Xsxx50SHnzh

🎨Student nurses at the University of Cincinnati were penalized for having their hair bobbed because, the dean believed, it detracted from the dignity of their uniform. From Cincinnati Post 12 April 1924, image extracted from microfilm by Greg Hand.

Minutes before Earth, Wind & Fire’s soundcheck in Rosemont, Illinois, Philip Bailey was still handling interviews. He’d spent a great part of the day with the media generating awareness about his nonprofit, Music Is Unity Foundation, which advocates for youth in foster care through its music programs.

At the time, the organization’s “Backstage Soundcheck Program” was hosting a group who were invited to witness the painstaking, behind-the-scenes work that goes into stage production. Rather than sounding exhausted and disengaged, Bailey seemed excited as if he were one of the patrons.

History meets modernity in this four-story Over-the-Rhine home. Built in 1880 by shoemaker Arnold Lueckmann and his wife Elisabeth, this 3,373-square-foot space comes with all of its original, 19th century charm—exposed brick walls, 11-foot-high ceilings, decorative glass transoms above many of the interior doors, tons of natural light, and ornamental mantles that adorn five separate fireplaces. https://ow.ly/JUft50SEkiV

Where have you gone Candy Sierra, Kevin Gregg, and Tim Federowicz? You’ll always be obscure former Cincinnati Reds to me.

I was born into a Cincinnati Reds family, and I’ve been pretty much obsessed with them ever since. Now my son is a hardcore Reds fan—and, yes, I regularly apologize to him for saddling him with this burden. For the rest of my days on this planet, the Reds game will probably be on my television or radio every night, and I’ll be looking for opportunities to head out to the ol’ ballyard to catch the Redlegs as often as possible. https://ow.ly/npqt50SCl8T

Harry Houdini came to Cincinnati in 1925 carrying a check for $5,000. He was searching for an authentic spirit medium, someone who could uncontrovertibly demonstrate true communication with the spirit of a person who had died.

With AI creating most of the good scams these days, there's no interest in the good, old-fashioned table-tappers anymore. Pity.
