A big storm blew into Cincinnati and suddenly it was looking very threatening…

And then it started with the rain. And that’s just what we need. More rain.



And then those damn warning sirens started going all ballistic and stuff.


We waited for what we thought was going to be an impending blitzkrieg by Ze Germans.
But the air raid never materialized and the storm never realized its full potential.



Downtown missed the worst of the storm. And Ze Germans. Up north of 275 supposedly got
the worst of it. I never heard if there were any tornado sightings anywhere in the Tri-State area.
But this storm wasn’t anywhere near as eerie as the last time those warning sirens went off.

It dawned on me as I was walked back to my office that I had never taken a photo of the
impressive Cincinnatus Mural on the side of the Brotherhood Building on Central Parkway.

And now I have.

I walked up Race Street into OtR to drop off some invoices for photography that I had
shot a little while back for 3CDC on Fountain Square. And there is always something
being renovated around their new offices it seems. First, there’s all the work going
on to complete revamp of Washington Park…


And there are all sorts of people working on buildings…

It seems like every abandoned building other than this one had a 3CDC sign on it. I think
those signs mean the building has been purchased and it set to be renovated. I took a
photo of this one because those red letters are amazing. Can I haz letters, pleeese?

Walking back down Vine Street in the Gateway Quarter, I saw this sign for a new taco,
tequila and whisky place called Bakersfield. Sounds kinda like the wild, wild west…

All sorts of exciting stuff going on in this little area.
