I knew the massive Camels advertisement existed, but I didn't know it actually smoked! See the difference in the two images below.

Spent a lot of time at the Ice Bowl and the Dixie Drive in back in the day.  Good times!

Chickenwyngs, have you seen these books?  There are old photos from almost any local city, available in almost any bookstore. They make nice gifts.  I love looking at them.  As you can see, my dog particularly loved the Covington book.

Yes! Love them. Have a few. They're great. 

This photo was taken in Erlanger around 1860. The family that lived there at the time was the Beeches. I'm familiar with this home and not much has changed on it. Thought it may be interesting to see how little it has changed for those familiar with that area.

The ferry between Rising Sun and Rabbit Hash back in the day.

Love these too. My favorite is the organized crime one based on the original Sin City in Newport.

Arcadia Publishing. Man, I love ALL of those. I've only got a couple right now, but every once in a while I do the zip-code search on the Arcadia Publishing website to see what books have come out about the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area so I can keep a list for when folks ask me for Christmas gift suggestions.
