As I was heading down Central Parkway I quickly passed by this mural, my first thought was "a mural of W.C. Fields?" I had to make a U turn and discovered how wrong I was. I am assuming this individual is some prominent Cincinnati figure but I have absolutely no idea. If I find out I'll certainly let you know.
