in endorsing "10 Blocks from the Bridge" Program
To foster a true sense of community in the Cincinnati Metro area, President Barack Obama, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland and Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear have endorsed the "10 Blocks From The Bridge" program initiated by Cincinnati World Cinema.
The endorsement, revealed by unnamed sources close to the Ohio River, is the result of wishful thinking and an overactive imagination. "This is absolutely fabulous," said Cincinnati World Cinema director Timothy Swallow. "Few people realize that the Carnegie Arts Center is only 10 blocks from the bridge. Now our friends in Ohio can easily visit the beautiful theatre at 1028 Scott Boulevard."
Under the terms of the new program, Ohio residents visiting Kentucky for an afternoon or evening of independent cinema with CWC at the Carnegie Arts Center, will no longer need to obtain a visa or stop at customs checkpoints on the Kentucky side of the river. The only requirement for entry will be their desire to enjoy the type of outstanding film and discussion events that CWC has presented over the last eight years. By way of reciprocity, Ohio will close its immigration stations on key arteries coming from Northern Kentucky.
People using the Roebling Suspension Bridge will have an especially easy trip -- the bridge dumps into Scott (one-way South) and the Carnegie, spanning the block between Scott and Greenup at Robbins Street, is only five minutes away. The return is just as easy -- up Greenup (one-way North) directly to the Suspension Bridge. Couldn't be more simple or convenient!
