Icon wants to know your favorite horror flick

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 30, 2014 - 8:36am

By Torie Wright, Icon intern
My favorite time of year is now. Fall’s weather is perfect and we also celebrate my favorite holiday: Halloween. We’re about a month away from seeing costumed kiddos roaming the streets, but it’s just the right time for getting into spooky movies.

I challenge you this: starting now, watch one horror movie per week. On October 31, report back to us at the Icon with your list of movies watched and tell us which one was your absolute favorite!

Iconoclast View: Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 7, 2014 - 2:21pm

At times like this, I chuckle. And no one hears me. That’s okay.

Standing in my back yard Saturday afternoon, minding my own business, the strains of “25 or 6 to 4,” wafted my way, played by the university pep band at a football game.

I bet myself not a player in that band could name the group who originally performed it, the musician who composed it, or, its meaning.

Hearing the tune, certainly made me pause. And chuckle. What is this world coming to?

We know...it's still warm out and trees are green. Tops are down on covertibles, shorts are the normal uniform of the day.

Here's a refresher course on Ohio winters, in case you've forgotten. In a strange sense, this Main Street January 2014 photo has some beatiful qualities: blue haze of a sunset, Christmas ornaments on light poles and Jack Frost. If we could only remove the temperature from the equation.

Below are comparision photos from August to December - same view.
