    Then and Now: The evolution of summer

    By Chris A Wilson

    Coney Island in Cincinnati, Ohio is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year and its status as the sixth-oldest amusement park in the US.  Compare pictures from the 1920s and 1960s to now, and see how differently (or not so differently) people used to enjoy themselves and relax in the heat of the summer.

    Aug. 6, 1960 - Hot weather brings a crowd to Coney Island's swimming pool in Cincinnati, Ohio. Coney Island, the 75-acre amusement park on the banks of the Ohio River, was originally called "Ohio Grove, Coney Island of the West”, after the Coney Island of the East, in New York. The park was founded on June 21, 1886.

    Well wishers hold up a sign offering their greetings as US President Barack Obama's motorcade drives past in Waialua, Hawaii, on Dec. 30, as Obama visits his friend Bobby Titcomb's house for a barbeque. Obama is spending the last days of the year vacationing with his family in Hawaii.

    Teens offer President Obama homemade greetings in Waialua, Hawaii

    By Carissa Ray

    I love the impromptu feel of this picture, like these girls saw others waiting to greet the Obama motorcade, screeched the driving school car to the side of the rode, grabbed a safe driving banner and some handy painters tape out of the trunk and went to work. I also love that this fun image, clearly, gets my imagination carried away and lets me know that I've clearly seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off too many times.
