I was amazed to hear on the news that around 10,000 people were in Fountain Square in Cincinnati on Friday. The square is about a quarter of a block and it's pretty much the cultural center of Cincy. There were more people there on Friday than ever before, including when the Reds won the World Series. It's nice to see people caring so much.

Unfortunately, the students here at college seem to be rather indifferent about it.
