It’s a sign.

Even though the business has closed it’s doors, I hope this sign hangs above Vine Street in downtown Cincinnati forever. 😀⚠️❤️

Downtown Cincy Winter Pop-Shop.

Tonight was the opening of the Downtown Cincy Holiday Pop-Shop on Main Street…

There were collections from four different artists/vendors…

There was all sorts of really great stuff collected in this winter pop-up shop. I think it’s a great idea to activate unused spaces around Central Business District with pop-up shops like this, especially leading up to the holidays. I can’t wait to check back and see what the pop-shop gets updated with in the next few weeks. 😀🛍️❤️

Le’s Pho & Sandwiches.

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. 😀🍜❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

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. 😀🚧❤️

An icy good morning.

When we woke up this morning, it looked like just another rainy, wet morning. But when we were out walking the dogs, we noticed everything was covered in a thin layer of ice…

Everything except for roads and sidewalks that is. Still, most schools were on a two-hour delay. And I guess there were a lot of people who lost power. Thankfully, we didn’t lose power. And the ice didn’t affect us that much at all. We actually made it to work extra early. I wish we would have had more time this morning to take more photos of everything covered in ice. 😀🌨️❄️❤️

How much fun would this be?

I found these graphics on social media demonstrating how an expanded college football playoff could work using this week’s Top 25 rankings. This first one is with the college football playoff expanded to eight teams…

And this second one is for a college football playoff that is expanded to sixteen teams…

Looking at both of these graphics, there would be so many amazing games between big-name programs. It would be really incredible to be able to watch this playoff unfold every year. And this way the college football championship would be decided on the field instead of in some conference room somewhere. Any option would be much better than the joke of a playoff college football has right now. 😀🏈❤️

Constructing Cincinnati.

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…

Wednesday, November 7th:

Thursday, November 8th:

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. 😀🚧❤️

Sidewinder coffee.

Our beloved Sidewinder Coffee recently redesigned their logo. On the right is their old logo, and on the left is their new logo. The new logo is so fancy. I’m still partial to the old simple lightning bolt logo because their coffee gives you a charge to start your day…

But regardless of their logo, you can’t beat their coffee. We love it so much…

We both wish we could get Sidewinder coffee every morning. 😀☕️⚡️❤️

Timehopping.

Looking down our hallway at the fam…

Thanks, Timehop! 😀🦕❤️

Rhinegeist on Spring Grove?

We took a different way home from work this evening. We went home up Spring Grove Avenue and we passed by this huge new building in Camp Washington just around the corner from Northside…

It must be a Rhinegeist brewing or canning facility. I wonder if they’re going to put a taproom in there as well? I guess we’ll have to wait and see… 😀👻❤️
