Genifer made this delicious BBQ orange chicken with broccoli and rice for dinner…
It was really delicious stuff! She’s such a good cook. I can’t wait to dig in to the leftovers. 🙂

Could you imagine walking up Main Street and not seeing The Dennison Hotel? The view just wouldn’t be the same without this historic building…
The building’s owners are working to get Historic Conservation Board approval for the demolition of the historic Dennison Hotel.
From UrbanCincy, “Built in 1890, the Dennison Hotel is located within the Main Street Historic District and has sat vacant for several years. In the past, the eight-story brick structure had served as a single-occupancy room hotel in what was at that time a seedy part of the central business district.
Over the past several months historic preservationists have been organizing themselves in an effort to track the status of this historic structure as rumors have swirled that the owners were interested in demolition.”
It would be a real shame to lose a historic building that’s such an iconic part of the landscape of downtown Cincinnati. Well, at least it is for us. It’s been part of of view every time we looked out the windows…
Or walked out our front door…
And I would hate to loose a couple of my favorite ghost signs in all of Cincinnati…

We saw this truck on our way home from Americano…
Wait. Wut?! I don’t even know how to begin to process this…
We’ve seen painted cars around downtown in the past. But this takes it to a whole other level. I’m left to wonder if someone lost a bet. 🙂

Looking out our window a few hours before game time, it looked like it was going to be a really nice day. The sun was out. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. And there wasn’t any wind. The wind’s been the kicker this week. After we walked Oscar, we decided to head down to the ballpark to take in our second Reds game of the season. We just got some walk-up tickets from the box office. When Genifer went to pay for the tickets with her PNC Reds debit card, our $14 tickets instantly became $6 tickets. Who knew that our PNC Reds cards got us discounted tickets Sunday through Thursday at the GABP? So that was pretty awesome. And we were so impressed that I forgot to take a photo of the front of the ballpark. I must be rusty and out of practice.
We decided to watch the start of the game from under the PNC Power Stacks…
I never did figure out why all the mascots started the game in bib overalls…
Tim Melville was making his Major League debut today…
We moved upstairs to our normal Reds habitat, upper deck down the third base line…
And that was about the last time we saw the sun…
They’re doing Strikeouts for Slices again this season! HOORAY!
The first live Sunday Reds Mascot Race of the season. This one belonged to Mr. Red…
We had our first under review play of the season…
And they got it right on the field, he was out at home…
The sun completely disappeared on us and the wind picked up. So we ended up watching most of the game from the relative warmth of the Cincinnati Bell FiOptics Gigabar out in the left field corner of the view level.
Tim Melville went 4 innings giving up five hits and a run in his debut. Eugenio Suarez crushed his fourth home run of the season. And the Reds won on a Jay Bruuuuuce walk-off triple score BP all the way from first base!
Two games. Two walk-off wins! Another chilly but great day at the ballpark! Who would have thought the Reds would start the season 5-1? ⚾ 🙂

This evening was FC Cincinnati’s inaugural home opener at Nippert Stadium…
We grabbed an Uber up to UC. And stopped in for some prematch drinks at 4EG’s The St. Clair. When we first got there, it was pretty empty. By the time we left, you could hardly move in the place…
We started the trek over to Nippert Stadium…
Here we go…
FC|C’s Sean Okoli scored the first home goal in FC Cincinnati history at Nippert. And it was a stunner! Such a stunner that it made #4 on Sportscenter’s Top Ten…
It took the scoreboard operator a quick minute to get the goal up on the board…
At halftime, it was 1-0 to FC Cincinnati…
To say it was a very chilly evening was an understatement…
There were four minutes of time added on…
FULL TIME! 2-1 to FC Cincinnati!
It was such an incredible atmosphere for tonight’s match in front of 14, 658. FC|C head coach John Harkes had to be thrilled with the support…
We can’t wait for next Saturday’s home match against Louisville City FC! 🙂
