The hand demolition of the building continued across the street at the corner of Main and Eighth Street…
And down the street work continues on the building that is home to Taqueria Mercado at the corner of Walnut and Eighth Streets. That’s actually the entrance to their Mexican restaurant just above the furthest most construction pilon to the right…
It’s pretty amazing that they’ve been able to stay open through all the construction on the building they call home. 😀🚧❤️

When we stopped to get coffee at our beloved Sidewinder this morning, their front door was blocked and we had to go down the alley and through the back door…
We didn’t even know there was a back door. It reminded me of the time we when finally figured out how to get into Collective Espresso in Northside…
It turns out Sidewinder was getting a new front door installed this morning…
We think Sidewinder’s coffee is just the best. And we love stopping to get coffee from Sidewinder in the mornings. But just twice a week because that stuff could get really expensive if you got it every day. 😀☕️❤️

It looks like there’s a new Asian eatery called Monk going in on Main Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets where The Orient used to be…
I can’t wait to try this place once it opens. I hope it’s as good at The Orient or even better. Because you can never have too many good Asian eateries. 😀🍜❤️

The demolition of the building across the street from Deskey continues…
I took this timelapse Instagram video of them deconstructing the little room on top of the building. It’s been really interesting to watch them start deconstructing this building mostly by hand. 😀🚧❤️

The building across Eighth Street from work is in the process of being demolished. With the exception of a Donato’s pizzeria on the ground floor, the building has been vacant for as long as I can remember. When Donato’s left a few months back, you kind of knew the building was going to be coming down. Last week, they started knocking all the windows out on the ground floor. This morning on our way into work the building was covered top to bottom with this blue mesh…
And here’s the view I have from my window at work…
And the view from the parking lot across Eighth Street…
One of the tenants in the Deskey building is a company called Streamspot. They do high-quality live streaming broadcasts. They set up a live stream of the demolition across the street. It’ll be interesting to watch this building come down. The building was kind of an eyesore and I don’t think it’ll be missed one bit. In its place, I think I heard they are planning to build condos that no normal person could ever afford.
But at least it’ll probably look nicer. 😀🚧❤️

I’ve been crazy busy at work lately, and haven’t had much of a chance to get out and wander around downtown for a bit. But I was walking to get my hair cut this afternoon and I couldn’t help but notice that there’s a lot of construction going on in downtown Cincinnati again.
They’re still trying to demolish the last little bit of The Dennison Hotel. Apparently, there was some sort of shared common wall issue with the building next door. And now this eyesore has taken the place of a historic building…
The only reminder The Dennison Hotel beside the hole in the ground is this sticker on what remains of the red brick facade…
Across the parking lot, it looks like the new apartment building that was being built across the street from our old apartment is finally reaching completion. And it has a fancy name, Encore.
Seeking of facades, it looks like they’re doing some pretty extensive work on the facade of this building on Main Street judging by the scaffolding…
Right next door, Bay Horse Cafe is open for business…
There’s a Wahlburger’s coming to Sixth Street where Pi Pizzeria used to be…
That will bring the downtown burger joint count to five with Americano, Bobby’s Burger Palace, Bru, Burger-fi and now Walburgers. Also on Sixth Street is all this mess…
The old Trattoria Roma is becoming an Irish pub & restaurant, O’Reilly’s…
And there’s also a new pizza place on Sixth Street called Zablong…
There’s this mess on Eighth Street…
And finally, Deskey has a new front window display…
The more things change, the things stay the same. There’s always something new popping up or being constructed in downtown Cincinnati. 😀❤️

Even the driving rain couldn’t get the demolition of The Dennison Hotel to slow down…
It was just a kind of rainy, grey and crappy day. 😞 ☂️

I’m not sure what’s moving into 8 East Fourth Street. But the building’s facade is getting some pretty serious renovation…
And the garage at Fourth and Race is now completely gone…
There’s always something new going up or coming down in downtown Cincinnati. 🙂

It’s been really sad watching the historic Dennison Hotel come down brick by brick…
