Four years ago today, we closed on our house…
And that began the dreaded packing…
Also five years ago today, our 2015 MLB All-Star Game tickets arrived in the mail…
Who knew June 17th would turn out to be such a great day? 😀🦕🏡⚾️🎟️❤️

Downtown details.
It was cold outside today. I was going to walk through the Skywalk to avoid the cold on my way to the bus. On my way to the Skywalk, I noticed that the Millenium Hotel was closed and undergoing a liquidation sale…
I walked through the Hyatt Regency up to the second floor across The Skywalk over to Carew Tower. Carew Tower was having their 2020 Fight For Air Climb to support the American Lung Association by climbing the 804 Stairs over 45 floors of Carew Tower…
I was going to continue on through the Skywalk from Carew Tower across Fifth Street to Fountain Place but that portion Skywalk was closed…
I left Carew Tower and noticed the skating rink on Fountain Square had been taken down, just as it’s starting to feel like actual skating weather…
The Booksellers on Fountain Square is closed now…
Looking inside Fountain Place everything is closed. And that made me wonder what happened to Palomino up on the second floor…
I went to see if Palomino was still there and it didn’t look good…
And Palomino’s gone and that’s pretty sad. I was happy to see that the Toynbee Tile was still on Seventh Street…
And I noticed that there was a new-to-me Artworks mural on the side of the Hustler just a little ways down Seventh Street…
I walked by Deskey and they removed the mantra they had on their front windows…
I always thought the mantra was kind of ridiculous. The almost full moon was already starting to pop out from behind the buildings…
And the exterior of the building at the corner of Eighth and Main Streets looked really close to being completed…
It’s interesting to me how much things can change downtown over just a few months but also just how much things stay the same. And the only real constant is change.

Booksellers on Fountain Square.
I just saw that The Booksellers on Fountain Square is closing…
The Booksellers had the most wonderful children’s book section. Downtown Cincinnati is losing another great shopping option. This building alone at the corner of Fifth and Vine Streets has lost a Macy’s, Tiffany & Co, and now The Booksellers. If you need to run out to get a last minute gift, it seems that downtown has fewer and fewer options with each passing day. And that’s a real shame. 😰📘❤️

Downtown details.
I was running some errands around downtown Cincinnati this afternoon, and I was kind of shocked to see that the Tiffany & Co. at Vine and Fifth Streets had closed…
It’s real shame. A while back the downtown TJ Maxx moved across the river to Newport. Then the downtown Macy’s closed their doors. And now Tiffany has left. The only real place to any shopping in the Central Business District is Saks Fifth Avenue. It getting harder and harder to do holiday or birthday shopping in CBD. And that’s a real shame. Also a real shame is the huge, old beautiful pine tree they cut down to display on Fountain Square for a little over a month…
I wish they would just get a big fake tree or come up with some alternative to chopping down a very old tree every year. But in an effort to remain positive, downtown did recently get a Frisch’s Big Boy in Carew Tower on Fifth Street…
I’ll have to check out the new Big Boy soon. Honestly, I keep forgetting it’s over there.
I guess the world giveth and taketh away. It seems like CBD has been more on the taketh side lately. And that also is a real shame.
