Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2016!

It’s that time of year again. Time for the largest Oktoberfest in all of America, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. One of the most fun weekend’s of the entire year in downtown Cincinnati…

We used to love Oktoberfest weekend when we lived downtown. This was the first year it hasn’t been right outside our front door. It was also the first year of the new location for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati down in The Banks on Second and Third Streets to accommodate Cincinnati’s new ~~streetcar~~ CB Connector. After today’s Reds game, we wandered over to see what the new look Oktoberfest Zinzinnati actually looked like…

We found the Klaberheads…

GOETTA & CHEDDA!

Oktoberfest might have moved a couple blocks south but it’s still the same big fun. And being able to walk out your front door to Oktoberfest might be one of the few things I actually miss about living downtown. Thank goodness for the 17 bus and Uber. 🙂

Reds baseball game #14.

We went to the second to last Reds Sunday church baseball game of the season…

It was our fourteenth Reds game of the season…

The Pirates Jason Jaso came in to pinch hit…

We saw this guy in the boxes below us, and thought Mat Latos was back in the house…

Time for the Sunday live edition of the Reds mascot race…

Gapper just edged out Fritz the Oktoberfest Zinzinnati mascot…

The Pirates were down to their last strike…

And this one belongs to the Reds!

It’s always great to be back at the ballpark. With a doubt, GABP is one of my favorite places to be in all of Cincinnati. 🙂

The CB Connector to Findlay Market.

After getting my hair cut at Rooster’s in Queen City Square, I hopped on the
CB Connector to ride up to Findlay Market to get lunch again today…

And there we are at Findlay Market in a jiffy…

I finally got us one of those little waving, lucky cats at the Saigon Market…

This space could be made into something really cool…

My photo didn’t do it justice at all.

Oktoberfest is this weekend. I like this year’s posters…

I decided to get chicken yellow curry and an egg roll from Mimi’s Gourmet Egg Rolls & Curry Bowls for lunch…

Speaking of egg rolls, look at the size of Mimi’s Big Monster Eggroll…

Whoa. Egg Rolls as big as your head! Then with curry bowl and egg roll in tow, I hopped back on the Connector to ride back down to the office…

Thanks for the ride, Connector…

I didn’t even realize that I was on the Rhinegeist branded Connector…

The curry was delicious, and so was the egg roll! So much food. And most of these photos were taken with my Polaroid CUBE. 🙂

Queen City Square.

Today, I walked down to Great American Tower at Queen City Square…

I always love walking through the grand lobby of Queen City Square…

There’s a new Kid Coffee…

And there’s a new restaurant I’ve never heard of before, Jean-Robert’s L…

We’ll have make a plan to check it out sometime soon. Anyway, onto Roosters Men’s Grooming Center to get my hair cut…

They always do such a great job with my hair. And you can’t be the convenience. It’s just a few blocks from my work. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to walk through Great American Tower at Queen Square once a month…

And you can’t beat that. 🙂

Reds baseball game #13.

Tonight, we made it back down to Great American Ball Park for Reds baseball game #13 of the season…

The Reds had won five in a row coming into tonight’s game. But tonight, they lost 7-0 to the Brewers tonight. It was still great to be back at the ballpark…
