Today was presentation day and I did a really lousy job of photographing
the presenters. I missed some and what pictures I did get are pretty bad.
I'm going to use what I have, however, because I'd have a pretty empty
page otherwise. I didn't even get pictures of the first two presentations
but did grab a photo of the ladies who gave them when they returned for
questions. Christine Henry, on the photo's right, delivered "They
Moved the Blue Hole ?!?" Tales of an Ohio Roadside Icon. Anne
Delano Steinert's presentation was titled Finding Kenyon Barr.
America's Main Street: Route 1, Heritage Tourism, and the Changing
Roadside Landscape was the topic of Aaron Marcavitch's talk, and
Heather David talked about and showed some examples from her book Motel
California. Karen L. Daniels spoke of Roadside Beautification
Efforts of the 1920 and 1930s.

Lunch was a genuine Cincinnati experience at a nearby
Skyline Chili
parlor. A highly unscientific survey indicates that possibly 3 out of five
actually liked it, 1 out of 5 thought it edible in a pinch, and the fifth
struggled to find words that would not offend.

As hard as it id to believe, I think I actually did worse on pictures in
the afternoon than I did in the morning. Daniella Beltran delivered The
Commercial Evolution of Over-the Rhine, Cincinnati, OH. The second and
third individual pictures are of Stephanie Tiedeken and Irene Lule who
described Processing the Society for Commercial Archeology
Records. I completely missed getting a picture of Mary Ann Michna
during her Artwork Influenced by the American Road presentation so
have included a fuzzy group photo of the Q & A period with her in the
middle.

A neon documentary finished out the afternoon then everyone headed out on
their own for dinner. I was part of a small group who dined and listened
to live music at Cincinnati's oldest tavern,
Arnold's.
There was a night time walking tour available but I was done for the day
and headed home.
