That’s a lot of Rhinegeist…
Pretty flowers and sunlight at Lytle Park…
Looking back down Fourth Street…
And pretty evening clouds over downtown Cincinnati…

Tonight, we picked up a couple of pizzas from Pi Pizzeria on Sixth Street…
We had a buy one pizza, get one free through sqwid.com. So our bill was really cheap…
We got a thin crust The Hill…
And a deep dish South-side Classico…
We got a lot, a lot of pizza. But it was such delicious stuff!
YUM! Great stuff! And there’s lots of leftovers for lunches! 🙂

Today was the first Second Second on Main of the season. SSoM is OtR’s eclectic monthly street festival on Main Street. It’s hard to believe but SSoM is entering it’s 11th year of Sunday Fundays!
We stopped into Lucca, who were celebrating their one year anniversary. Such cute stuff…
And I loved this painting at Urban Eden…
It started to look like it might storm…
But it didn’t. A drop or two and then the storm clouds blew right over. We found the home of OtR’s new florist, Gia & The Blooms…
And we hope these guys are back in for the July SSoM…
We’d definitely like to check out their jerk! We didn’t get a chance to check them out today.
It was another great SSoM! July’s edition of Second Sunday on Main will take place on Sunday, July 10 with the theme of MAINpride – featuring the annual Drag Races and more, presented by Below Zero Lounge. A very appropriate celebration of all things pride in the wake the horrific tragedy that just took place in Orlando. 😦

Tonight, FC Cincinnati was playing host to one-win FC Montreal. FC Cincy was looking to continue on their SEVEN match undefeated run in the USL. When we got out of our Uber, Rhinegeist and The Pride were having a pregame party along South Market Street…
But we always stop into The St. Clair before every match. They have an amazing happy hour before every home FC|C match…
And then we head over to Nippert Stadium…
SPRINKLES!
O Canada…
SPRINKLES!
Here we go…
The game paused for a hydration break…
The USMNT took a 1-0 lead over Paraguay…
And FC Cincinnati was awarded a penalty!
GOOOOOAL! FC Cincinnati! Sean Okoli converted the spot kick for FC|C!
And at halftime, it was 1-0 to FC|C…
And the second half is underway…
GOOOOOAL!! FC CINCINNATI! 2-0! Okoli again!
There were six minutes of time to be added on…
The USMNT won…
And there’s the whistle for full-time! 2-1 to FC|C!
FC Cincinnati runs their undefeated streak in the USL out to EIGHT matches! And Sean Okoli was named to the USL Team of the Week. FC Cincinnati will be back at home this Saturday, June 18th as they welcome some more of those Canadians into Nippert Stadium. Struggling Toronto FC II will be in town. I hope The Bailey can find a clever way to poke fun at the team from “We The North” and that there aren’t any Drake sightings at Nippert. 🙂

This just in… Our loan has been approved! This is actually happening…
We’ll close sometime the beginning of next week! This is so exciting! It’s still hard to believe that very soon we’ll be living in this amazing house. Northside, here we come!

We had breakfast at First Watch on Seventh Street this morning. Little-by-little over the last few weeks, they’ve been doing some redecorating of their interior. It’s a very welcome update. It looks very rustic and farm-fresh now…
Brand new look inside, same great breakfasts…
And The Elevated Eggwich was one of the best breakfast sammiches I’ve ever had…
Even after all this time, First Watch is still one of the best options for breakfast in all of Central Business District. 🙂

Deskey lets us work just a half-day every other Friday throughout the summer. They call it Summer Hours. And it’s pretty flippin’ awesome. Today was my first Summer Hours Friday, and it looked like this outside as I was leaving work…
So we went out to Eastgate to look at Best Buy for washers and dryers. And by the time we got over there, wouldn’t you know it? The sun was back out, and it was gorgeous outside. Along the way, we stopped at Five Guys for lunch…
I’ve only eaten at Five Guys one other time. It’s really not a bad burger, at all. And then we went to Jungle Jim’s to look for Jamaican Jerk spices and rubs…
We’re going to figure this Jerk Chicken out one way or another…
After Jungle Jim’s, we stopped by Mount Carmel Brewing for a beer…
When got home, we took Oscar out for a walk…
It turned out to be a really beautiful evening…
We were going to walk over to Fountain Square to listen to the Indie Summer bands but I nodded off watching the Reds and the Copa America Centenario soccer tournament. All in all, it was a pretty good first Summer Hours Friday. 🙂

Today was just a normal Thursday. Nothing really noteworthy happened all day. The highlight of our evening was ordering LaRosa’s calzones and salads for dinner…
YUM! Taken with Instagram. 🙂

Tonight, we went over to Fountain Square to check out our first Reggae Wednesday of the PNC Summer Music Series…


My favorite Reggae band, The Ark Band made a surprise appearance…
They were the playing with Yabba Griffiths, who was all the way from Jamaica…
Just Jerks: Ena’s Jerkmania food truck was on the Square serving up delicious Jamaican Jerk Chicken dishes…

We shared the Spicy Jerk Chicken and rice box with fried plantains and maniac sauce…
Holy geez was it ever delicious and spicy! I’ll never get tired of looking at Carew Tower…
