This afternoon we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for another lunch with our gift cards we got for Christmas…
We got their BBQ chicken wings too…
And we had one of Taft’s terrific Hazelnut Latte Coffee Milk Stouts…
Only come to find out later that tomorrow is National Pizza Day. I guess we just got too excited and celebrated the delicious holiday early. 😀🍕🐔❤️

Good morning from Northside. 😀🐾❤️

There was an almost full moon tonight…
My moon app said it was 97.6% full moon tonight. Tomorrow is supposed to be 99.9% full moon. But it’s been so cloudy that you have to take the almost full moon views when you can. Goodnight moon. 😀🌕❤️

It was cold outside today. I was going to walk through the Skywalk to avoid the cold on my way to the bus. On my way to the Skywalk, I noticed that the Millenium Hotel was closed and undergoing a liquidation sale…
I walked through the Hyatt Regency up to the second floor across The Skywalk over to Carew Tower. Carew Tower was having their 2020 Fight For Air Climb to support the American Lung Association by climbing the 804 Stairs over 45 floors of Carew Tower…
I was going to continue on through the Skywalk from Carew Tower across Fifth Street to Fountain Place but that portion Skywalk was closed…
I left Carew Tower and noticed the skating rink on Fountain Square had been taken down, just as it’s starting to feel like actual skating weather…
The Booksellers on Fountain Square is closed now…
Looking inside Fountain Place everything is closed. And that made me wonder what happened to Palomino up on the second floor…
I went to see if Palomino was still there and it didn’t look good…
And Palomino’s gone and that’s pretty sad. I was happy to see that the Toynbee Tile was still on Seventh Street…
And I noticed that there was a new-to-me Artworks mural on the side of the Hustler just a little ways down Seventh Street…
I walked by Deskey and they removed the mantra they had on their front windows…
I always thought the mantra was kind of ridiculous. The almost full moon was already starting to pop out from behind the buildings…
And the exterior of the building at the corner of Eighth and Main Streets looked really close to being completed…
It’s interesting to me how much things can change downtown over just a few months but also just how much things stay the same. And the only real constant is change.
😀🏙️🚧❤️

Winter finally decided to show up this morning and gave up a dusting of snow…
So far, our winter has been pretty mild. It’s just been really grey and rainy. This is our first snow of the year. And I’d be fine if it was our last snow of the year too. 😀🌨️❄️❤️

We had another NYPD Pizza party tonight. We went through a stretch where we were on a cheese pizza kick. Every time we would order a cheese pizza and wings. Now, we’ve been on a streak with NYPD’s Station House pizza…
The Station House is so good! And of course, we still got boneless wings…
NYPD Pizza parties are fun and delicious! 😀🍕🐔❤️

We stopped at Sidewinder for coffee this morning on our way downtown…
And their new artworks on display were these intricately detailed little dioramas…
Sometimes, Sidewinder has some really cool artworks on display. 😀☕️🖼️❤️

Tonight, Genifer made Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken for dinner tonight…
We haven’t had the orange chicken in a minute. It was every bit as good as I remember it. Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. 😍🥡🐔❤️

Genifer made another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits for dinner tonight. This one was Chicken with Poblano Cream Sauce…
The pepitas in the delicious cream sauce added this amazing crunch to every bite. And it was another very delicious meal! We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🐔❤️

We were pretty tired after yesterday’s Superb Owl. It was a really good game, and that’s all you can really ask for when your teams didn’t make it to The Big Game™. And there were some pretty good commercials too.
What I don’t understand is why they have to start the game at 6:30 on a Sunday night. Why not start the game at 3 or 4pm? I also don’t understand why The Big Game™ is even on Sunday. If they can play the wild card playoff games on Saturday, why can’t the Superb Owl can’t be on Saturday as well? I think there’s even a petition to move the Superb Owl to Saturday.
Well, we watched the game last night, and now we’re pretty tired today. We walked the dogs and just went to bed…
Good evening from the top of the hill at the end of our street in Northside. 😀🌄❤️
