Last Train to...Cleveland?

Cincinnati, Ohio

Ohio governor-elect John Kasich is planning to terminate the 3C passenger rail project that connects Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus. So I headed down the hill to the Western Hills Viaduct to get some shots of the rail yard. Great fun!

Cincinnati, Ohio

For the 2010 Election, I was sent by The News Record to photograph the election party for congressional candidate Steve Driehaus, held at the Taqueria Mercado Mexican restaurant in downtown Cincinnati on Tuesday night. The incumbent Democratic representative lost his congressional seat to Republican candidate Steve Chabot.

Burritos, enchiladas and other Mexican dishes were served at the Driehaus election party, which was held at Taqueria Mercado at E. 8th St & Walnut St in downtown Cincinnati. Members of the kitchen staff sported Driehaus campaign stickers to show their support as they prepared the food.

Guided by Voices Reunion Show @ The Southgate House 10/15/10

Anna Bentley | The News Record
Cincinnati, Ohio

Guided by Voices played a sold-out show at the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky on Friday, October 15 as part of their "Hallway of Shatterproof Glass" reunion tour. The show was incredible, with lead singer Bob Pollard as lively [and wasted] as ever. Apparently being 50-something years old does not stop him from putting on a rocking show, which was complete with his signature leg-kicks and mic twirls; The club was OPEN.

The show featured the "classic" lineup, which comprised of guitarists Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell, bassist Greg Demos and drummer Kevin Fennell.

I know this is a Pollard-heavy blog post, but how could I resist?
