Six years ago, I found a little app called Foursquare. And I loved my Foursquare. The check-in game portion of Foursquare spun off and became was is now Swarm. Today,
I logged my 50,000th check-in on Swarm…
I still really like my check-ins!

Commemorative Streetcar Tokens.
The Cincinnati Streetcar‘s grand opening weekend is set for September 9th through 11th. This afternnon, I picked up a couple of the super-special, limited-edition 2016 Commemorative Streetcar Tokens from The Bus Stop in the Mercantile Center…
The tokens are good for unlimited rides for the first week of revenue service. But I think these tokens will be staying in their packaging. These are going to be great souvenirs of the dawn of the Cincinnati Streetcar era. 🙂

Thank you, CityBeat!
This afternoon I ran out to get my hair cut. On my way back to the office, I stopped by the offices of CityBeat at Race and Ninth Streets…
They had two gift cards for me to pick up. First, a $25 gift certificate to The Cricket Lounge in The Cincinnatian Hotel downtown for a photo I took during Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, and another $25 gift card to Sammy’s Craft Burgers
& Beers in Blue Ash for a photo I took during Cincinnati Burger Week…
A huge thank you to CityBeat for the gift cards! They are greatly appreciated. It’s really pretty cool to have events like GRC Week and Cincy Burger Week, and be able to take advantage of the great deals they bring. Well… we just love it. But it’s a whole other thing to get rewarded for something we would have done anyway. Take photos. For that, we are very grateful. We can’t wait to put these gift cards to good use! And of course, we’ll post the photos. Thanks again, CityBeat! 🙂

#TBT Pause to paws.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I still don’t miss my bud dog. He’s never very far from my thoughts. It’s really hard to believe he’s been gone for nine months. I know he would have loved our new house especially our backyard. I miss you, bud. 🙂

The Dennison Hotel tarp.
The owners of the former Dennison Hotel downtown have draped a large tarp “safety” net over the front of the building to make sure nothing falls off the historic former hotel and injures people walking by…
I’ve never seen anything like that. How much do you think a tarp like that costs? I wish the owners would stop dragging their feet, stop being jerks and start the necessary rehab to renovate the space, turn it into modern, overpriced apartments/condos, and return The Dennison Hotel to it’s former glory already.

We have our Jetta back!
We picked up our Jetta today from CARSTAR Collision Care of Southgate…
So clean and sparkly. They did a really nice job with exterior. You wouldn’t even know that it got demolished when some jackass rear-ended Genifer over in Kentucky back in the middle of June…
This is what it looked like the evening after it happened…
And a few days later when they were picking it up to take it in to the body shop…
In the meantime, we had been driving this 2016 Nissan. It was a pretty nice car. Definitely bigger than the Jetta, which worked out nicely for our move. And it had bells and whistles that they didn’t have all the way back in 2008 like a rearview camera and push-button start…
It was fun to drive a new car but I don’t think I would want to own it. It just wasn’t the Jetta. All I know is, it was nice to look out the bedroom window this morning and finally see our Jetta sitting out in front of our house…
I really love that dang car. And once again all is right with the world. 🙂

Grady’s Cold Brew Coffee.
I’ve heard all sorts of stories about the amazing Grady’s Cold Brew Coffee. So I finally broke down and gave it a try. We ordered their Cold Brew Pour and Store Pouch. It was kind of a no-brainer for just $30 with free shipping. And it makes 36 cups of coffee. We’re not all that great at doing math but I think that works out to less than a dollar per cup of coffee…
We removed the twelve 2-ounce coffee bean bags from inside the Pour and Store pouch. Each bag brews 3 servings of coffee…
We added four of the bean bags to the pouch as instructed and filled it with water…
And then put the pouch in the fridge overnight…
Fast forward to this morning, and we were enjoying some amazing cold brew coffee…
I’m not a huge coffee fan but Genifer is, and we both think it’s pretty amazing stuff! The coffee stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. But something tells me it’s not going to last anywhere near that long. I can definitely see Grady’s Cold Brew Coffee becoming a staple in our refrigerator. 🙂

Good morning.
We used our new oven for the very first time this morning to make some cinnamon rolls for breakfast…
Our oven did a great job. And the cinnamon rolls were delicious! 🙂

Northside nubs.
We walked Oscar up the hill at the end of our street for the first time this evening. And the view from the top of the hill looking back down our street was pretty awesome…
We’re so in love with our street. And it’s pretty amazing how quickly we’re falling in love with Northside… And we haven’t even really ventured out and done anything yet. 🙂
