I’ve been having a craving for Chinese food lately. Unfortunately, one thing that the Northside is missing, or that we haven’t discovered yet, is a good Chinese restaurant. Thankfully, I can satisfy my hankering for some good Chinese food by just taking a quick walk from my office down Main Street…
Thank goodness for Orient…
And here is the delicious General Tso’s chicken I had for lunch…
YUM! 🙂

It’s that time of year again. Time for the largest Oktoberfest in all of America, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. One of the most fun weekend’s of the entire year in downtown Cincinnati…
We used to love Oktoberfest weekend when we lived downtown. This was the first year it hasn’t been right outside our front door. It was also the first year of the new location for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati down in The Banks on Second and Third Streets to accommodate Cincinnati’s new streetcar CB Connector. After today’s Reds game, we wandered over to see what the new look Oktoberfest Zinzinnati actually looked like…
We found the Klaberheads…
GOETTA & CHEDDA!
Oktoberfest might have moved a couple blocks south but it’s still the same big fun. And being able to walk out your front door to Oktoberfest might be one of the few things I actually miss about living downtown. Thank goodness for the 17 bus and Uber. 🙂

We went to the second to last Reds Sunday church baseball game of the season…
It was our fourteenth Reds game of the season…
The Pirates Jason Jaso came in to pinch hit…
We saw this guy in the boxes below us, and thought Mat Latos was back in the house…
Time for the Sunday live edition of the Reds mascot race…
Gapper just edged out Fritz the Oktoberfest Zinzinnati mascot…
The Pirates were down to their last strike…
And this one belongs to the Reds!
It’s always great to be back at the ballpark. With a doubt, GABP is one of my favorite places to be in all of Cincinnati. 🙂

After getting my hair cut at Rooster’s in Queen City Square, I hopped on the
CB Connector to ride up to Findlay Market to get lunch again today…
And there we are at Findlay Market in a jiffy…
I finally got us one of those little waving, lucky cats at the Saigon Market…
This space could be made into something really cool…
My photo didn’t do it justice at all.
Oktoberfest is this weekend. I like this year’s posters…
I decided to get chicken yellow curry and an egg roll from Mimi’s Gourmet Egg Rolls & Curry Bowls for lunch…
Speaking of egg rolls, look at the size of Mimi’s Big Monster Eggroll…
Whoa. Egg Rolls as big as your head! Then with curry bowl and egg roll in tow, I hopped back on the Connector to ride back down to the office…
Thanks for the ride, Connector…
I didn’t even realize that I was on the Rhinegeist branded Connector…
The curry was delicious, and so was the egg roll! So much food. And most of these photos were taken with my Polaroid CUBE. 🙂

Today, I walked down to Great American Tower at Queen City Square…
I always love walking through the grand lobby of Queen City Square…
There’s a new Kid Coffee…
And there’s a new restaurant I’ve never heard of before, Jean-Robert’s L…
We’ll have make a plan to check it out sometime soon. Anyway, onto Roosters Men’s Grooming Center to get my hair cut…
They always do such a great job with my hair. And you can’t be the convenience. It’s just a few blocks from my work. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to walk through Great American Tower at Queen Square once a month…
And you can’t beat that. 🙂

Tonight, we made it back down to Great American Ball Park for Reds baseball game #13 of the season…
The Reds had won five in a row coming into tonight’s game. But tonight, they lost 7-0 to the Brewers tonight. It was still great to be back at the ballpark…
Remember when Cueto was on our team? Memories…

I rode the CB Connector up to Taft’s Ale House to get lunch with a bunch of coworkers today…
Good times. This streetcar thing is pretty cool. 🙂

Cincinnati finally got to ride all over downtown and Over-the-Rhine on it’s brand new streetcar CB Connector all weekend long. Social media was chuck full of photos and videos of people’s experiences on the Connector. Today, it was my turn. I got to ride it for myself for the first time this afternoon. I hopped on the Connector at Main and Eighth Streets just outside of Deskey…
By the time it got to Twelfth Street, I had the COnnector pretty much to myself…
I took this little video clip with my Instagram…
I got off the Connector at the Findlay Market stop on Elm Street…
I just wanted to get a Bahn Mi sammich from Pho Lang Thang…
With sammich in hand, I walked over to wait for the Connector at the Findlay Market stop on Race Street…
And like clockwork, there was the Connector…
I rode the Connector down Race Street passed Washington Park…
I decided to ride the Connector all the way back around to where I first got on at Main and Eighth Streets. At Fountain Square, I started taking this video with my Polaroid CUBE…
Apparently, you can only take a five minute long video. And that’s fine because it’s not all that interesting. At all. Here’s another much shorter video of the Connector rolling passed Great American Ball Park…
And I’m back where I started at Main and Eighth…
I think I was going for about 45 minutes or so, give or take. Next time, I’ll pay more attention to what time it is when I leave. And here’s my Korean BBQ Bahn Mi sammich from Pho Lang Thang…
I have to admit. It was pretty cool to be able to hop on the Connector to ride up to Findlay Market to get a delicious sammich. Even when we lived downtown, we never really got up to Findlay Market all that much. Now I can see myself taking the Connector up to Findlay Market to grab a sammich, a gelato or pick up something to bring home for our dinner. Coworkers are already talking about taking the Connector to Taft’s Ale House for lunch or Rhinegeist for drinks after work. It’s cool how it makes downtown seem even easier to navigate than it already was. The Cincinnati Bell Connector is pretty A-okay with me. 🙂

Cincinnati finally got to ride on it’s streetcar CB Connector for the first time today!
I also took a longer video with my Polaroid CUBE of the Connector from the corner of Main and Eighth Streets. I can’t wait to use my commemorative streetcar token to ride it for the first time next week. 🙂

To celebrate their car passing over 200,000 miles on the odometer and not having any more car payments, Becky and Bob generously bought all of Deskey lunch from at Pizzeria Locale, a new Chipotle-style chain pizza joint in Kenwood…
It was really good stuff! Pizzeria Locale was having a promotion today where if you mentioned UpSpring (a non-profit that works to keep Greater Cincinnati children experiencing homelessness connected to their education), the organization received 50%. And the pizza pie was delicious too! That’s what I call a win-win! 😁🙌🍕
