Cincinnati, Ohio, blue hour panorama. This concludes the Cincinnati series, happy mid-week to everyone who celebrates Wednesday!
Packard Series II
The Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.

We all get busy during the hectic holiday season, but please let's not forget those less fortunate than we are. Too many people are having trouble keeping themselves and their families fed.
I've been there. It's hard.
Give what you can to the disadvantaged in your community and elsewhere. Every little bit makes a difference.
One way to do this is through the Little Free Pantries. Little Free Pantries are a resource from which to receive and a place to which to give. When looking for your nearest pantry to donate, consider your neighbors and what foods they might need. The Little Free Pantries provide food from neighbors for neighbors, and donating has a positive impact on the recipients, the givers, and their communities.
These pantries are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. No ID is required and anyone is welcome to give and receive food from them. They are a no-barrier access point to food, but too many are empty or near-empty, like the one in the photo.
For more information and to find a Little Free Pantry near you, visit www.thelittlefreepantries.org/find-a-pantry.
The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio. It was established in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1803.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1978.
Lebanon is located on the old road between Cincinnati and Columbus. For this reason, many notables have visited the inn. The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Daniel Webster, Robert A. Taft, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.
The new statue in front of the Solid Rock Church in Lebanon, Ohio. In 2012, this statue, titled Lux Mundi (Light of the World), replaced the former statue, officially titled King of Kings. The latter had a number of nicknames due to various aspects of the statue itself, most famously:
Touchdown Jesus due to the pose of the statue, which resembled the signal that an American football referee uses to indicate a touchdown; and
Butter Jesus due to the color of the statue, which was made of styrofoam coated with fiberglass.
The latter was destroyed in 2010 in a lightning strike that set it on fire, leaving only a metal frame. US media had a lot of fun with this. One headline was "Butter Jesus is Toast," and others claimed that even God himself disliked the statue.
Wikipedia says that the new statue, also known as Hug Me Jesus is made of polymer composite and steel, and was mainly fabricated by Display Dynamics of Clayton, Ohio. Since the original statue at Solid Rock Church was destroyed by fire, the new statue incorporates fire resistant materials including a lightning suppression system. Following several months of work, the major pieces of the statue were assembled together at the site on September 19, 2012, and it was dedicated eleven days later.

I remember seeing Soo Line SD60's in Berea when I was really young, so when I heard that one was leading an eastbound ethanol train and was set to run on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line, I knew I had to try for a few shots, despite the less than ideal weather. Here, train 6K4 stomps upgrade through Wooster Cut in Wooster, Ohio with SOO (CEFX) 6020 leading the way.
