This evening we went out to visit Cleve & Alyssa in Liberty township. We had a great time visiting with them. Especially after Cleve made all these chicken wings! YUM!

Taste of OtR.
This afternoon we walked up to Washington Park to check out Taste of OtR…
The grass at Washington Park has definitely seen better days…
Wait a dang minute…
Wut? Why wouldn’t your dog wear a sun dress? I mean, the sun’s out isn’t it?
But just like last year, there really wasn’t anything we wanted to eat. I guess if you didn’t get to Over-the-Rhine a lot, it would be a good way to sample what OtR has to offer. We just felt like we would rather walk over a couple of blocks and eat at the actual restaurant. Plus, it was kind of uncomfortably warm in all the sun that was flooding Washington Park.
So we broke camp and headed over to one of our favorite spots, Nation Kitchen & Bar…
Nation was still serving brunch when we got there. We shared a Brunch Wrap Supreme and Breakfast Tots. Their stuff is so deliciously on point, it’s kind of ridiculous…
Really fun afternoon. It’s hard to go wrong when Washington Park & Nation are involved. 🙂

DomiNoNo.
Tonight, we cashed in on our free Domino’s DomiNoNo pizza we scored on Monday from the Astro’s Mike Fiers no-hitting the Dodgers last weekend…
And of course, we got stuffed cheesy bread…
You have to get the stuffed cheesy bread. Genifer made it a rule. YUM! Free makes pizza even more delicious! Thanks to Domino’s, MLB and Mike Fiers! 🙂

ArtWorks mural: Week 1 Progress.
The installation of the ArtWorks mural across Eighth Street from work is underway…
And it looks like the mural is going to be Elizabeth Nourse’s self-portrait from 1891. 🙂

Moerlein Lager House.
After Cocktails & Crown Jewels, we were a bit hungry so we decided, why not get a bite to eat from Moerlein Lager House since were right here? We landed on sharing the Short Rib Grilled Cheese…
We added a side of Lager House’s Beer Cheese to dip our fries in. Best. Move. Ever.
YUM! I’ve never had a single bad meal from MLH. Everything’s always been delicious! 🙂

Cocktails & Crown Jewels.
Genifer heard about Cocktails & Crown Jewels presented by Cincinnati Parks and Moerlein Lager House down at the Schmidlapp Event Lawn & Stage. There were five Cocktails and Crown Jewels scheduled throughout the summer. They promised a cool jazz vibe all summer with the hottest jazz in the beauty of Smale Riverfront Park on the banks of the Ohio. Unfortunately, tonight’s last one of the season…
It’s really, really hard not to take photos of the Roebling Suspension Bridge whenever you’re on the event lawn or in Smale Riverfront Park…
We got a couple of Moerlein’s Helles from the Lager House To-Go walk-up window, and settled in for some great music from The Sound Body Jazz Orchestra…
Sound Body Jazz Orchestra has such an amazing big band sound. Loved it.
Great night. We just wish we would have heard about the Cocktails and Crown Jewels series a bit earlier in the summer. 😦 Click to see all the photos I took at Cocktails & Crown Jewels. 🙂

Reds game 38/40.
I ducked out work for a long lunch to take in Reds game 38/40 against the Dodgers…
We met Mr. Peanut…
That’s not creepy at all.
The Dodgers Yasiel Puig…
Monday, the Reds had a 10-run 6th inning…
Today, the Dodger’s Zack Greinke hurled a four-hitter over seven scoreless innings outdueling Anthony DeSclafani, who gave up just one run on six hits over seven s well. Time for the Cuban Missle…
Chapman loaded the bases with no outs…
And with that, it was time to go back to work…
But he managed to get himself out of it. But the game ended up losing, 1-0.

Reds Season Ticket renewal packet.
The Reds sent us this Season Ticket renewal packet for the 2016 baseball season…
I really wish this season would have been just a little bit closer to the end before I got hit up for tickets for next season. But we’ll definitely be getting season tickets again next season but probably just a 20-game pack, and then just pick up extra games as the season advances. Because the 40-game pack is A LOT of baseball. 🙂

Another ArtWorks mural.
Remember when they were putting up the scaffolding across from my office on Eighth Street? Well… ArtWorks has partnered with The Mercantile Library and the McClain Foundation for another Cincinnati Master Mural. It will feature the somber work of Elizabeth Nourse. I guess the Mercantile Library has a large collection of her work…
I certainly hope they can manage to dig up a happy painting by Elizabeth Nourse. I might be the only one, but I think the ArtWorks murals are starting to get a bit out of hand. Not every blank wall in downtown needs to have an ArtWorks mural or CincyInk quote on it. But that’s just me.
