Hugs, no strings attached

Super-friendly: “It’s good to know people are smiling after being hugged by a superhero," said Tim Hensz, a North Central High School student who, dressed as Spider-Man, gives Michelle Long a free hug in Riverfront Park on Friday. Hensz spent about an hour and a half in the park offering free hugs. About two dozen people took him up on the offer. All the hugged left with smiles on their faces. (Colin Mulvany)
