Today, I walked over to Court Street to get lunch from Le’s Pho & Sandwiches…



I ordered a Chicken Bahn Mi sammich and an egg roll…

Their sammiches are very delicious and really inexpensive. 😀🍜❤️

Earlier in the week, they finished knocking down the building across the street. Since then, they’ve been working to clear all the rubble and debris. I was kind of surprised to see how much progress they’ve made in just a few days…

It’s pretty crazy that a building can just disappear without a trace so quickly. And over on Court Street, the new downtown Kroger tower continues to reach skyward…

When it’s all said and done, this building will be 18-stories tall and be home to a two-story supermarket, 139 apartments and a six-story, 555-space parking garage. It would have been pretty awesome to have a Kroger right around the corner when we used to live downtown. 😀🚧❤️

I could make a whole separate blog just about construction and demolition. It’s been really fascinating to watch. At least it has been for me. But I’m going to combine all the daily photos I took over the last week into this one blog post so our blog doesn’t become that blog all about construction. On Tuesday, I could see the windows of our old apartment at Sycamore Place across the way…



If you used that exit, the first step would be a doozy…

Friday, November 9th:





Monday, November 12th:





And I recorded this time-lapse video of the last bit of the demolition…
I also posted a very condensed time-lapse on my Instagram. And all that’s left now is just a massive pile of rubble and debris. It’s weird to not see that building across the street when I leave work…

Tuesday, November 13th:

It was an ugly building anyway. At least it’s out of its misery. 😀🚧❤️

Downtown Cincinnati Inc. has partnered with the City of Cincinnati to develop pop-up shops that bring together entrepreneurs, artists, makers, and small businesses with local property owners to fill vacant spaces and activate downtown. The first of these new pop-up shops is on Main Street next to Aronoff Center…


It’s a really cool idea. We can’t wait to check out this pop-up shop on Friday. 😀🛍️❤️

It’s been so grey lately that I’m starting to forget what the sun looks like. Welcome to autumn in Ohio. 😀☁️❤️

The building across the street continues to get shorter as the demolition continues…


It looks like they made quite a bit of progress over the weekend. 😀🚧❤️

They’ve just made the right lane on Main Street downtown a Bus Only lane during the morning and evening rush hours. Here’s the brand new Bus Only sign at the stop where I wait for the Metro 17 bus on Main Street between Eighth and Ninth Streets…

Officials said about 635 Metro buses travel on Main Street between Fifth and Central each weekday. Of those, 90 use the far-right lane to pick up passengers at stops along Main during afternoon rush hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This lane is the first of its kind in Cincinnati.
It’s nice to see the buses getting some preferential treatment for a change. 😀🚌❤️

On my way back from Skyline to the office, I passed by this construction work taking place on Sixth Street…



Classic. Awesome indeed. 😀👍❤️
