A few news and notes for your hot mid-week pleasure:

1. BBC writer, Paul Slade, has written a great story about the Pearl Bryan murder from the 1890’s.  It is truly a fascinating read as it was apparently the OJ Simpson murders of its time – and right here in Fort Thomas.  Give it a read if you get a chance.

2. Has anyone else noticed the construction that is apparently happening at the new Chinese restaurant?  Not sure about time frames but it is finally a positive sign beyond just a poster board sign that has been hanging in the windows since February.

3. A reader sent in a link to yet another great story about Highlands, Cris Collinsworth, and Patrick Towles.  Give it a read as Collinsworth gives his assessment of Patrick’s possible upside as a quarterback at higher levels.
