I wonder if they’re finished across the street. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they just paved over the space and called it a new surface parking lot…




I don’t think that’s the plan. But it looks like it could happen.ππ§β€οΈ

This evening we went out to celebrate Valentine’s Day! We talked about grandiose plans and expensive dinners. But instead, we just stopped at new favorite placeΒ Northside Distilling to try one of their special Valentine’s Day cocktails…




Genifer ordered The Bless Your Heart…

And I ordered The Dudette. Don’t judge me. It was delicious…

Then we headed back to Northside and stopped at Chameleon for a couple of cheese pizza slices and BBQ chicken wings. We’re not fancy…



Chameleon’s pizza and wings are both out of this world! Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day plans are the simplest. πππ₯πβ€οΈ

We drew names at work for Deskey Secret Valentines. I drew our proofreader, Susan and here are the valentines I made for her…

I was just going to do the little photo of her dog Jack who is a pretty funny little dog. He reminds me a lot of Oscar. But then I was looking at Pinterest and saw these other ideas that I thought were pretty cute as well. The inside of little card said, “Thanks a LATTE for all you do.” And inside the dynamite sticks were stacks of Reese’s mini peanut butter cups. Pinterest is awesome for getting ideas for stuff like this.
Here’s the Deskey Secret Valentine that I received…

I got this awesome little owl made out of seashells…

And that means the seashell bunny I got from the Deskey White Elephant gift exchange a couple of years back has a new best friend…

Deskey Secret Valentines are pretty fun. ππ¦π°β€οΈ

We stopped at Second Place again for half-priced cheeseburgers tonight. Genifer ordered her burger with a side of fries…

And I got my burger…

With chicken wings…

Second Place Wednesdays are the best!Β ππππβ€οΈ

You know what I think would be interesting? I think it would be really interesting to photograph all the storefronts in downtown Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine. Even since we’ve left downtown there have been a lot of places that have closed their doors for good and there have been even more places that have opened, either in those spaces or in new spaces. It would be an interesting study in the continual evolution of urban spaces particularly downtown Cincinnati. How long before something new moves into this space on Main Street and the Spatz Foods sign is gone forever? We would walk by this sign every time we headed out to do something when we lived downtown…

Downtown Cincinnati is in a state of continual change and it’d beat really neat to have the time to document those changes and downtown details better. πποΈβ€οΈ

It was delicious and the best part is that there is plenty left for lunches! ππ²β€οΈ

Genifer made a crustless broccoli cheddar quiche for us to take with us to work for breakfasts this week…

And she also made chocolate chip banana bread muffins…

The quiche was really good. But chocolate chip banana bread muffins are my favorite. ππβ€οΈ

We braved the cold toady and walked to Tickle Pickle in Northside for lunch…


I usually always order the Meatallica…

But today I tried a different burger…

Today, I got the Bread Zeppelin…

And it was outstanding. It’s nothing super fancy. It’s just a really solid standard cheesy burger. And now I think I have a new favorite Tickle Pickle go-to burger…

Speaking of fancy burgers, Genifer ordered the Now Petty again. It’s the burger topped with delicious Swiss cheeses and mushrooms…

Tickle Pickle is so good. We’re so blessed to have awesome food stuffs right around the corner from us in our neighboorhood. ππβ€οΈ
