Avtar, the OG downtown blogger

If you think about it Avtar's hats were his blog posts, if there was something happening in Cincinnati, or even anywhere in the world you would see Avtar walking around downtown proclaiming it on his hats.
Cincinnati will be just a little less eccentric after today, Avtar was found dead over the weekend.
I always had to laugh, I'd snap a picture of Avtar, and he'd say "let me see, let me see!" and then he would ask me to frame it different, take it like this now turn your camera and take it like that!
Looking back at pictures of Avtar he was a huge Obama fan, too bad he didn't make it a few more days to see Obama's inauguration.
Godspeed Avtar! Cincinnati will miss you.

  5. Bummer, really sorry to hear. I will miss him, the city will be a little more empty, one less character, less colorful. He made me smile, how many people do that for you.
