Constructing Cincinnati.

I managed to get the entire crane across the street in a photo…

Thunderstorms.

A pretty big thunderstorm blew through downtown Cincinnati this afternoon. The sky got really dark. And the tornado warning sirens were even going off around the city…

The clouds were pretty crazy and moving really fast. I captured this #LapseIt timelapse of the storm moving in above downtown Cincinnati…

The clouds weren’t moving that fast. But you get the point. And then it poured this afternoon. There was so much rain that on our way home Central Parkway was flooded across all four lanes of traffic…

We cut through the Big Boy parking lot to get around the flooding and the back of the parking lot was really flooded too…

Some cars just plowed right on through the flood waters…

Once we were able to get around this body of water, it was smooth sailing for the rest of the way home. Good thing we live on a hill. 😀🌧️🌊❤️

Deskey Pi Day Pie Contest.

Deskey had a Pi Day Pie Contest today to celebrate Pi Day on 3.14…

There were two savory pies and five sweet pies. All of them were pretty tasty. 😀🥧❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

The construction across the street from work continues. Here’s the view from my window this morning when it was all rainy…

And the sunny view across the street this afternoon…

Constructing Cincinnati.

I rode the Metro 17 bus into work this morning. It’s been a minute since I rode the bus to work. I couldn’t help but notice that they’re tearing down the old Deaconess Hospital across Clifton Avenue from UC’s campus to make way for new apartments…

And downtown on the corner of Walnut and Court Streets, the new apartment tower keeps extending upwards. This building’s parking garage is already open…

😀🚧❤️

Happy hour in Pendleton.

Just to the north of Jack Casino and just to the east of Over-the-Rhine lies the Pendleton neighborhood of downtown Cincinnati. Genifer noticed on Instagram that the relatively new 3-Point Brewery in Pendleton was having a Pop-Up Happy Hour Wednesday with $2 beers from 5-7pm. So after work this evening, we stopped in Pendleton to finally check out a couple places that were new to us.

We haven’t been to Pendleton since we moved to Northside. Back then all that was there was Nation. Now there are all sorts of new places like Luquis Q barbeque

Across the street is Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey

And next door to Boomtown is CHX

And next to CHX is 3-Points Urban Brewery…

3-Points is absolutely beautiful inside…

I started with a Sinking Orca Oatmeal Stout

And Genifer tried their Shoal Cincy Stout

Both beers were really good. That little CHX guy kept staring at us…

He reminded us of Oscar with his beady little eyes.

We ordered a small original breaded banty with fries from the bar and just a little while later, we received a text that our banty was ready to be picked up…

And there’s our order…

Our CHX was so good! There were so many fries in that bag. It was like a neverending bag of fries. They just kept regenerating themselves no matter how many we ate. And their dipping sauces were legit too. But the star of the show for me was the hushpuppies. Then again, I love hushpuppies. I also tried their Magic Wand Kettle Sour

And Genifer tried one of their spicy margarita draft cocktails…

Both 3-Point and CHX were awesome. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary

We can’t wait to come back to 3-Point and CHX. And we also can’t wait to check out Lucius Q and Boomtown. And eat at Nation again. It’s been way too long. Geez… Pendleton is really on the serious upswing! 😀🍺🐔🤫🐶❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

The work on the foundation continues across the street

😀🚧❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

It looks like they’ve begun building the foundation across the street

😀🚧❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

They’re back to digging holes across the street from work…

I don’t work in construction but it’s pretty weird to be that they filled in a hole with dirt only then to remove the dirt again. It’s just odd. 😀🚧❤️

Deskey chili cookoff.

At work today, there was a Deskey chili cookoff

There were even celebrity guest judges from Arnold’s because everything has to be a dang competition…

And Becky was the winner with her #4 chili…

And then there were cupcakes for January birthdays…

And we also revealed our Deskey Secret Valentines. It made for a pretty fun afternoon. 😀🖐️❤️
