We had BLT wraps for dinner tonight. I don’t know why we don’t have more BLT wraps…

Because any BLT is an awesome BLT. ๐๐ฅ๐ฅฌ๐ โค๏ธ

Most days Genifer picks me up from work. But on Tuesday and Friday evenings, I ride the bus home. I leave work and walk down Fourth Street. I walk by this construction site with TWO tower cranes…

And the future site of a Kitty’s Coffee…

Fourth Street has a lot of pretty architecture…

We’ll have to check out Aster sometime soon…


I walk down Fourth Street to Walnut Street. And as I walk up Walnut, I walk by the Renaissance Hotel…

I wait for the bus at Government Square. And when I get on the bus, it goes right by the building that was getting built across the street from where I used to work…

It’s grown considerably since I moved on to much greener pastures. It’s grown to six floors now in just over six weeks. It’s not a bad walk across downtown at all.
I’ll have to do a better job of documenting my walk down Fourth Street to catch the bus at Government Square. ๐๐๏ธ๐งโค๏ธ

Genifer put these stair runners on our second to third-floor stairs…

It looks really nice! She did such a nice job. Maybe Oscar can go up and down the stairs on his own without having to be carried.ย ๐๐๏ธโค๏ธ

For the very first time ever, Genifer and I didn’t go to Oktoberfest Zinzinnati…

We kind of felt an obligation to go to Oktoberfest because we’ve gone for at least a little bit ofย every Oktoberfest since we began dating back in 2011. But this year, it was rainy so we just stayed at home. And it was wonderful. PROST!ย ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐บโค๏ธ

It was a rainy evening in Northside. But check out those clouds…

They looked like they were just painted in the sky.ย ๐โ๏ธโค๏ธ

This morning we went over to Home Goods at Rookwood Commons. I always find it interesting to wander around inside of Home Goods. They have all sorts of things you never know you needed for your home. I almost got this canvas for our office…

A Halloween mummy mug or a fox wearing glasses mug with legs…

These giraffes were odd but adorable…

As were these pot steam vents…

And the monster on this bag of popcorn…

Who wouldn’t want this huge three-pound bag of gummi bears…

After wandering around Home Goods, we walked to Rusty Bucket again for lunch. Genifer had a burger…

And I had their patty melt…

I love patty melts.ย ๐๐๏ธ๐โค๏ธ

Tonight just happened to be Das Boot night at Higher Gravity with hefeweizen from Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery…

It was a pretty good hefe. And we got to take home our boots! We also got to try the new Braxton & Graeters Pumpkin Pie collaboration…ย

It was really good. Very pumpkiny. But it’s still just a little bit too early for me to be drinking pumpkin beers. As soon as it starts to feel more like fall outside, it’s on. I also saw this beer from Streetside that sounded interesting but we didn’t try it…

Maybe next time. However, we did bring this guy home this guy…

it was another fun Thursday night at Higher Gravity in Northside.ย ๐๐บ๐ข๐๐โค๏ธ

I ran some errands around downtown this afternoon…

They’re turning the site of the old Dennison Hotel into a super cute little park…

I’m going to have to go back to check it out when they are actually finished with it. But it was more than I expected from this space. I thought it was just going to be more surface parking lot. I was going to ride the streetcar Cincinnati Connector or one of those silly little scooters down to The Banks. But it was so nice outside and I can actually walk again without pain, so I just walked down to Great American Ball Park…

I was getting us some Reds tickets for the final week of their season…

From GABP, I walked down Freedom Way and noted Joella’s Hot Chicken. I’m going to have to come back down to The Banks to check that out for lunch one day…

I continued on to stop to admire the new 150-foot tall SkyStar observation wheel at The Banks. It’s only a temporary addition to downtown. It’s there to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of The Banks. We’ll have to make sure to ride it before December 2nd…




They were getting The Banks ready for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati…

And then I rode the streetcar back to work. Somebody’s gotta ride it now and then…

And then it was back to work…

It’s fun to take a little bit of time out of your day to run around downtown Cincinnati to see the sites especially the new additions.ย ๐๐๏ธโค๏ธ

For the seventeenth edition of theย Do Northside House Tour 2018…

It’s unfortunate that I think we have an FC|C match on that day. Maybe we’ll be able to check out this next year.ย ๐๐กโค๏ธ
