Before starting work this morning, we ran down to Camp Washington to get some coffee drinks from Sunny Blue Coffeehouse…
Because it was customer appreciation Thursday again that means free turkey sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sammiches for everyone!
We love Sunny Blu Coffeehouse!
I stopped to peek at CampSITE again…
I find Camp Washington is such an intriguing little neighborhood. 😀☕️🥐❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We walked to get Sidewinder coffee this morning. They’ve made some progress on the Schaeper’s Pharmacy mural at the corner Hamilton and Chase Avenues…
And there was another mural around the corner on Chase Avenue…
Mmmm, Sidewinder Coffee…
Sidewinder coffee is so good…
On our way home, we saw more sidewalk chalk art…
We walked back home and got all our work done. Later, Genifer made orange chicken for dinner and it was delicious…
Good evening from Northside…
It was another pretty good but relatively uneventful Tuesday. 😀🌄☕️🥡❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Before we started working this morning, we walked down to Blue Jay for breakfast…
Because it’s the most important meal of the day…
Genifer ordered a half-order of french toast, and I ordered biscuit and gravy…
Breakfast was delicious. Blue Jay is always so good. We don’t eat there nearly enough.We need to really work on changing that.
When we were walking home, we noticed there was a mural started on the front of Schaeper’s Pharmacy…
And there was some sidewalk chalk art…
They put down asphalt over the new water main on our street…
It looks like they’re pretty much done working on our street.
And good evening from Northside…

Check out this Artworks mural at the corner of Vine and Seventh Streets…
It might not be new but it was new to me…
It’s another really pretty mural in downtown Cincinnati. 😀🎨🖌️🌺❤️

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.
😀🏙️🚧❤️

It was a really pretty afternoon in downtown Cincinnati. It was a little bit windy but the temperature was pretty nice for the beginning of December. So I ran out to get something to eat this afternoon. I walked over to The Banks. Along the way, I stopped to admire The Skystar Wheel with the Roebling Suspension Bridge in the background…
It’s become a permanent addition to The Banks. We still need to go ride on it. I bet the views are pretty spectacular. I ended up getting this sammich from Burgerfi…
It was okay. I also stopped to admire the Rose Lavelle mural on West Freedom Way…
And when I was leaving work, Paul Bown Stadium was all lit up for some reason…

This morning at Grey Midwest we had our monthly company meeting…
You can tell when it’s a company meeting morning because the chairs were all set up around the flat screens and the robotic dinosaur was guarding the all the wires that run to the flatscreens…
And I admire this guy on someone’s desk every time I get up to refill my water…
Later in the morning, I had a meeting down on the second floor. I got to my meeting early and just around the corner from the conference room was this giant bear just snoozing away in an empty cubicle…
He looked super uncomfortable so I repositioned him a bit…
It was pretty random. Also pretty random is the awesome mural on the second floor…
It was another interesting and fun day at Grey Midwest. It’s never boring over here.
😀📺🦖🐻🖌️♥️
I’d just like to add I’ve learned more stuff in the last eight months since I joined Grey than I learned in the six years I was at my last job. And I’m really kicking myself for staying there that long. Oh well. Live and learn. It’s just nice to be back in the big time.

A decent portion of my job is working as part of an interdisciplinary team with our partner agencies within the WPP network for one of our bigger clients. The team I work with was all in Cincinnati this week for meetings. And tonight, we all went out to dinner at Mita’s on Fifth Street. It was good to get to put names with faces and have the opportunity to get to know everyone a little bit better…
And dinner was delicious. It was a really good time. 😀🍱❤️

While we were waiting for the Streetcar, we could see the Skystar Wheel…
We’ll have to go ride it sometime in the near future. We walked by a new mural work in progress. Probably for the upcoming BLINK Cincinnati festivities…
We stopped at Holiday Spirits in Over-the-Rhine for a drink…
And saw the great Zoltar…
And we made it back to Northside Tavern to try to shoot a game of pool…
But all the tables were taken…
It was a really fun night. 😀🍺❤️

This afternoon, we rode the Metro 17 bus down into Over-the-Rhine. We found a gift card that still had some money on it. So we headed to Taft’s Ale House for lunch. We haven’t been to Taft’s Ale House since our friend Chris’s birthday. Anymore it seems we just always go to Taft’s Brewpourium which is just around the corner from our house over on Spring Grove. We didn’t realize just how long it had been. It’s been so long they’ve built a whole new condo community at Race and Fourteenth Streets…
Hello, beautiful. Taft’s Ale House is so pretty…
When we were crossing the street, we saw another one of those #CincyStreetBots…
I’ve really been digging Taft’s Cold Boy…
Genifer ordered Taft’s Chicken Avocado Salad…
And Saratoga chips with ranch…
I ordered two of Taft’s tri-tip sliders…
With tots and beer cheese…
And Taft’s had bread pudding. I love bread pudding. So I had to order it…
Taft’s is soooo good. Everything was delicious. Especially the bread pudding.
From Taft’s, we walked down to Washington Park to check out the last half hour or so of September’s edition of The City Flea…
There were a couple of really dope hats at this Flea…
From Washinton Park, we started walking in the direction of Findlay Market. We walked by a few murals that I hadn’t seen before…
TAG! You’re it…
Findlay Market…
And then we walked over to Sam Adams Cincy Taproom…
They were hosting their Oktoberfest…
We hung out for a minute but it was all sort of winding down. So we headed back over to Race Street to check out the new Goose+Elder…
I love the restaurant bathroom trend of using wild floral print wallpapers…
Hi. And the other bathroom…
We had a White Russian…
And we ordered just a couple of little small plates to share like their watermelon…
And their mac&cheese…
Terrific stuff. I can’t wait to come back to eat a full meal at Goose+Elder…
Then we hopped in an Uber and headed home. It was a great afternoon in OtR. 😀🏙️❤️
