LOVE THESE VIDEOS WITH AL. WAS BORN N RAISED IN CINCY IN 1964 N MY BIGGEST MEMORY ABOUT AL IS HIM COVERING THE VIETNAM WAR FOR CHANNEL 9 WHEN I WAS A KID. YOUR DAD IS A CINCINNATI LEGEND!
Yes, I agree he was a legend during the good old boys era. Yes i was born and raised here in the 40's and he wasss a legend. If u know what i mean.........
Im only 26 so I dont quite remember this gentleman, but seeing Cincinnati in the past im so thankful that you posted this. In the last episode when they address the changes in OTR i wonder if anyone at that time stopped to consider how it would impact the community around it. Regardless thank you again for posting these!
Another trip down memory lane. Expat from Cincy out here on the Left Coast. The part where Al discussed the Labor market is quite correct. That is the main reason, I departed Cincinnati in 1991 to work on the West Coast. Mary Jo, thank you so much for this video production.. Cheers,
Mike, the first two are the Great and Near Great 1and 2. This third one is by a different producer and in association with CET, the local public television station so it has a different name. I'm pretty sure it was produced after my dad died too, but the producer is sending me a write-up for the description so hopefully all will soon be clarified.
I was Als Spotlight Report one Sunday night in the 70s! I drove my car through the St. Bernard tunnel under the railroad tracks by Proctor & Gamble! Ofcourse my car got stuck. I was only trying to take a shortcut! But it was a walking tunnel, not for trafic. I never lived it down. People, for years later would say, Your the lady who drove through the tunnel! I was famous for awhile! I wasnt very proud.
