 Griffin Hall (GH) is Northern's newest 53 million dollar darling -- an addition that's approaching its second anniversary coming October 11th. Be sure to grab your party hats! ;)

The colorful, contemporary aesthetic of the Student Union (SU)  and GH show the college moving pleasingly away from the imperviously solid, concrete cubes for which NKU is well known. 

For a short project, I traveled around Newport's Westend over the past two weeks. This area is unique in many ways, but the feature I chose to focus on is the battle small businesses are fighting to just to survive. Superstores are becoming ubiquitous, forcing the small clothing, grocery, and appliance stores to shut down. Amidst the changes the Newport landscape has seen in the past 50 years, pride is a quality that has never left the residents. Newport has changed, its people have not.
