A new Bay Horse Cafe?

Back in May, we walked by what used to be the old Bay Horse Cafe on Main Street, and it looked like they were working on the exterior of the building. I snapped this photo but really didn’t think much more about it…

Today, I happened to walk by again. First, I noticed a new coat of paint on the outside…

And happened to look inside to see there had been considerable work done…

Could Main Street be getting another new bar soon? If it does, I certainly hope they bring back that incredible old skool Bay Horse Cafe sign that hung over Main Street for who knows how many years. The sign that apparently and rather surprisingly, I never took a photo of or if I did, I can’t figure out what I would have done with it. 🙂

Constructing Cincinnati.

I walked over to Sycamore Place to pick up a package that got shipped to our old home by mistake. And I couldn’t help but notice that the new parking garage at the corner of Sycamore and Seventh Streets was now opening for public parking…

It’s a whole lot different than what it used to look like, from the old garage to the construction of this new garage. It’s a really big improvement. I wonder when they are going to start construction of the apartments atop this new parking garage? 🙂

The Bus Stop.

I made my way over to the arcade in Mercantile Center this afternoon…

I was going to The Bus Stop. My 30-day rolling pass expires on Sunday. So I needed to get a new pass…

This month I’m going to try Stored-Value Cards instead of the 30-day rolling pass since Genifer and I have been riding to work together a few times a week. She drops me off downtown and then continues on her way to Covington and beyond…

I love riding the bus. 🙂

Downtown details.

Everyday, my bus goes by this great Artworks mural on Back Street in Over-the-Rhine titled Brewing Heritage: Grain to Glass, designed by Jim Effler. It was created back in 2015. Everyday, I also get to stare at what I consider hands down the worst mural Artworks has ever executed. And it stares right back. Relentlessly. With so many great Artworks murals around like Mr. Dynamite, Ezzard Charles: The Cincinnati Cobra, Charley Harper’s Homecoming (Blue Birds), or my favorite: Martha, the Last Passenger Pigeon, it’s just very unfortunate that we got the really short end of the stick.

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.

It’s a sign.

Gearing up for Crystal Palace.

I stopped by the FC Cincinnati store on Fourth Street this afternoon…

To pick us up two of the commemorative FC|C versus Crystal Palace t-shirts…

Last week, I picked each of us up one of the commemorative scarves. I just want all the souvenirs I can get from this match, the single biggest soccer match in the history of Cincinnati. It’s pretty amazing to think we have an English Premier League team training and playing in Cincinnati this week! And apparently I’m not alone in my excitement, there have already been 30,000+ tickets sold for this match!

But FC Cincinnati’s match is just one of nine international club friendlies that USL clubs have scheduled this year.

If you can’t make it to Nippert for THE match, FC|C v. CPFC Friendly is going to be Streamed Live on Facebook!
