A peek inside of downtown Cincinnati’s soon to be newest steakhouse, J. Hamman Prime…

This is my 5000th post here to my blog. That’s a lot of posts between now and when this
blog was created back in April of 2009. And thinking back on the last 4+ years years, I’ve
had ridiculous amounts of fun in downtown Cincinnati. I met the love of my life. Got another
awesome dog. Found an incredible job with an amazing company. And still managed to pile
on even more fun on top of the other fun. Life is great. And I’ve never been happier.

Thanks for stopping by to see what we’ve been up to. It’s definitely been an adventure.
Here’s to the next 5000 posts! Cheers! 🙂

I saw on Twitter that Nicholson’s had Cincinnati’s own Mad Tree Brewing‘s PumpCan on
tap. It’s their take on pumpkin beer. Being big fans of some pumpkin beers, Genifer and I
stopped in after work to give it a try.







Really good stuff! 🙂

Walking back from lunch today, the fire department was extinguishing the flames on a
minivan that apparently caught fire on Eighth Street just two doors down from my work.





Geesh.

No more “In Dusty We Trusty.” Now “The Price is Right.” 🙂

They were working on that fountain on Fountain Square, The Genius of Water today.


I never really realized just how big the sculptures were on the fountain until I saw people
standing right next to them. But they were likely doing some maintenance and getting it
ready for another Cincinnati winter. Boo, winter.

We spent the rest of our rainy afternoon shopping for some home stuff at Ikea.

You go in that place. And when you re-emerge into the outside world, three hours have
passed and your bank account is a few hundred dollars lighter. But we got a whole bunch
of new organizational stuff for our place. 🙂

Northside has become taco central in Cincinnati. But sometimes, you simply aren’t in
the mood for tacos. After The City Flea, we didn’t feel like tacos. At all. We just wanted
a sammich of some sorts. So we stopped at a little place called Boswell’s for lunch.


They had Rivertown’s Pumpkin Ale on tap, and we shared a Cod Sammich…

It was a really very good fish sammich…

Check out Boswell’s the next time you’re in Northside and don’t feel like tacos. 🙂

It was a rainy and cold day in Cincinnati. One of those days where you just don’t want to
get out of bed, let alone leave the house. But we’ve been waiting for a rainy day like this
to run a bunch of errands. And today, our errands were starting with October offering of
The City Flea. Luckily, it was being staged inside at the American Can Lofts in Northside.

Food trucks lined the entry way…



















We picked up a couple pairs of these sweet shades from Operativ…






These Guinness mugs almost came home with us…

But the last thing we need is more glassware.




The Happy GroundHog Studio was there. Or as I like to call her, the lady that took all
of our money at the last Second Sunday on Main. 🙂








I almost got one of these mounted dinosaur head for my office at work…


I pondered purchasing this triceratops for a really long time.



Artist Michael Altman was at The City Flea. I’m completely in love with his stuff.






Awesome, awesome stuff. As were these wee little cowboy boots…


































Wandering through The City Flea is always fun. You never know what you’ll find. 🙂

And we’re getting in the spirit at work…
