That time Bruce ran an ad - from the Asbury Park Press, February 20, 1971. #Springsteen #HistoryInRealTime

@satbshow.bsky.social Reading your latest newsletter. The Moody Blues were my 1st concert at the Cincinnati Gardens in Sep 1970 (Beatles there in '64). Van Morrison opened. This photo is from the show. A now forgotten classmate took it for my review in the school newspaper.

After I looked it up, it reminded me of a news story I found from 1874 about my g/g grandpa who gave a speech on a street corner said to be a "ripper." The writer wrote: "...Mr. Forbes flatters himself that with a little practice, he could knock the birds off the bushes, in an oratorical way."

I agree with all of these. Everyone should watch Sneakers. Every actor listed was nominated for an Oscar at some point in their career. Fun movie.

@satbshow.bsky.social Saw these at #WorldsLongestYardSale in Union KY $350 in the lunchbox, $35 on MMT booklet. Nice. #BeaTles

It’s always fun what you can find in old newspapers. This is a 1936 ad for a dance at a long ago Cincinnati hotel featuring “Andy Donnellon and His Entertainers.”

That’s my grandpa.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social this is disgusting.

It would appear the breakdown I. His administration is reasonably close to the city’s racial demographics.

In this 1960 news story, my Grandma shows how she felt about Richard Nixon. I can only imagine what she would think of the current president.

RIP Pope Francis. Here is with my spiritual father Richard Rohr, the priest who changed my life when I was 17.

Thank you for trying to reform our Church.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social I thought you’d like this one at the Cincinnati protest (thousands marched). Our mayor spoke, as did @davidpepperoh.bsky.social

And Captain America! The smaller flag said something about love (prevails?)

Thousands marched in #Cincinnati today. A sampling of signs. The two black signs were carried by two Franciscan nuns.

I've never seen an AI generated answer be this wrong. I count several mistakes. Cincy's Riverfront Stadium opened in June, 1970. It says the game was played there in 1970, but that it wasn't built until 1975. It says that Robinson died in 1974. He died in 72. Also says game was in CLE.
