Seen and noted.

I’ve never noticed this warehouse behind the Cincinnati Ballet at the corner of Liberty and Central Parkway before this morning…

Now when we drive into downtown in the mornings, I can’t stop looking at it. And every day I wonder how people got all the way to the roof to tag up there.Ā šŸ˜€šŸŒ†ā¤ļø

Good evening.

I got a couple of photos of tonight’s sunset with my Polaroid CUBE on the bus ride home as the Metro 17 bus started it’s climbĀ up the hill on West Clifton Avenue…

It was a really pretty one.Ā šŸ˜€šŸŒ‡ā¤ļø

Rhinegeist Charitable Suds.

Genifer picked me up from work this evening and we went up to Rhinegeist in Over-the-Rhine for Charitable Suds…

Every Wednesday for 5-8pm, Rhinegeist donates $1 from every draft beer sold in their taproom to a different charitable organization. And they call it Charitable Suds. This week’sĀ organization was Greater CincinnatiĀ BehavioralĀ Health Services wereĀ Genifer works in Human Resources…

So we thought we would do our part and have a beer… you know, for charity…

Every time I’ve been in Rhinegeist, I’m always so impressed by the space…

 

Genifer’s co-workers are really nice,and it was a really good time.Ā šŸ˜€šŸŗšŸ»ā¤ļø

FC Cincinnati x Cincy Shirts.

I’ll be the first to admit it. I love rally towels. Like, really love rally towels. I don’t know how or where it all started, probably with the Reds NLDS gameĀ 3 back in 2010Ā and then it got cemented with theĀ Reds NLDS game 3 in 2012.Ā I startedĀ carrying one of those Reds rallyĀ towels with me everywhere I went. And now I just really love rally towels. I seek them out. And track them down. No matter where I go, I always seem to have at least one, stuffed in a pocket. More than likely, there’s another one stuffed in my bag. I have at least one for almost every major sportsĀ team I support. But I didn’t have an FCĀ Cincinnati rally towel. So imagine how excited I was to see this post from Cincy Shirts this morning…

Thankfully, I had Summer Hours this afternoon. When Genifer picked me up from work, we beat feet up Main Street into Over-the-Rhine to Cincy Shirts OtR location…

But it turns out somehow the FC|C rally towels were only at the Cincy Shirts Hyde Park location. So much to Genifer’s chagrin, we were back in the car heading to Hyde Park. Long story very short, we both got a new FC Cincinnati t-shirt from Cincy Shirts

And now we finally have FC|C rally towels…

Once again, all is good in the world.Ā šŸ˜€āš½ļøā¤ļø

The City Flea: July edition.

Today was July edition of The City Flea at Washington Park. It’s been a while since we’ve been to our last edition of The City Flea.Ā With FC Cincinnati playing away to those stinkers down in Louisville, we didn’t have very much to do today. At all. So we drove down into Over-the-Rhine and parked the Jetta in theĀ Town Center Garage behind Music Hall on Central Parkway for just $3…

By the way, the surface lot just on theĀ otherĀ side of Central Parkway next to Music Hall was charging a whopping $10 to park. So if you think about it, we kinda started our Flea seven dollars ahead! Ā And speaking of Music Hall, it looked like they’ve been making a lot of progress on Music Hall’s rather extensive and elaborate renovations…

Someday I’m actually going to actually get one of these Ebbet’s Field ball caps

Afterwards, we stopped into Sundry and Vice for a drink…

It was a great to wander around The City Flea again. And the drinks were delicious!Ā šŸ˜€

Deskey+Elementz.

We are working on a visual identity for a client that is all about the community of Cincinnati. We are partnering with Elementz,Ā Cincinnati’s Hip Hop youth center. It’s essentially an urban arts centerĀ where inner city kids can gather and create anything from hip-hop to street dance, spoken word poetry to street art, photography and visual arts. We’re teaming up with four ElementzĀ students for inspirational design to ensure our identity is representative of the community. The students were asked to use their creative platform of choice to develop a concept that represents their community.

This afternoon we got to meet with the students and tour Elementz…

Those are some very super talented kids. And Elementz space is pretty amazing. It’ll be great to work with this group and see what we can come up with together. šŸ˜€

Queen City Radio.

After work this evening, I walked up to 12th and Central Parkway to meet Genifer and our realtor, JJ for a drink at the relatively new, Queen City Radio

Another new really fun place! I love how more and more of the bars and restaurants that are opening here and there are including large outdoor patio spaces. šŸ™‚

Mecca OtR.

After Ciderfest, we walked over to 15th and Walnut Streets to check out a pretty new artsy bar callledĀ Mecca OtR. Mecca is owned by the same people that Cheapside

Mecca has great murals for days. And every restroom has custom artwork…

And I completely forgot to take a photo of Mecca’s incredible outdoor patio…

Mecca has these great, inventive drinks called Chuggers with one of those littleĀ airline liquor bottles inverted in a can of San Pellegrino…

Such a great idea…

Great place. I’m glad we finally got to check out Mecca. šŸ™‚

Ciderfest.

This afternoon we hopped on the Metro 17 bus to head down in Over-the-RhineĀ to visit the Christian Moerlein Malt House Taproom. Christian Moerlein Brewing Company and Over-The-Rhine Cider Company teamed upĀ to put together aĀ hard cider sampling event today called as Ciderfest. And you know, we love our ciders. OtR Cider Company has two hard ciders, Original and Crisp. They collaborated with neighborhood bars and restaurants to create fourteen one-of-a-kind limited release ciders infused with various ingredients to be sampled this afternoon…

Our favorite out of all of the different flavors was the probably the Strappleberry. But there were a lot of really good ones.

After sampling all the infused ciders, we had a Moerlein Helles and a giant Bavarian pretzel with brown mustard and beer cheese…

It was a really fun event at a place we don’t really get to all that often. šŸ™‚
