After a three-month hiatus, Django Western Taco has reopened in their new location just up Hamilton Avenue a couple doors down from Tickle Pickle. They’re so close to us now. We’ve been anxiously waiting for their return, and tonight we were finally rewarded for our patience…
We started with some chips & salsa…
And added some Django-style guacamole…
I ordered a fried chicken taco and Genifer ordered a carne asda taco…
And I had to get a jerk chicken quesadilla…
Such delicious, delicious flavors. Everything was just the way we remember it, if not even better! So good! Speaking of so good, check out Django Western Taco’s menu for the upcoming Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week…
I know where our first stop is going to be during restaurant week. It sounds delicious.
It’s so good to have Django Western Taco back in the neighborhood and just a hop, skip and a jump from our house. 😀🌮❤️
When I got off the bus this evening, it started pouring. No big deal. But the weird thing was there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun was out in full effect…
I’ve been crazy busy at work lately, and haven’t had much of a chance to get out and wander around downtown for a bit. But I was walking to get my hair cut this afternoon and I couldn’t help but notice that there’s a lot of construction going on in downtown Cincinnati again.
They’re still trying to demolish the last little bit of The Dennison Hotel. Apparently, there was some sort of shared common wall issue with the building next door. And now this eyesore has taken the place of a historic building…
The only reminder The Dennison Hotel beside the hole in the ground is this sticker on what remains of the red brick facade…
Across the parking lot, it looks like the new apartment building that was being built across the street from our old apartment is finally reaching completion. And it has a fancy name, Encore.
Seeking of facades, it looks like they’re doing some pretty extensive work on the facade of this building on Main Street judging by the scaffolding…
Right next door, Bay Horse Cafe is open for business…
There’s a Wahlburger’s coming to Sixth Street where Pi Pizzeria used to be…
That will bring the downtown burger joint count to five with Americano, Bobby’s Burger Palace, Bru, Burger-fi and now Walburgers. Also on Sixth Street is all this mess…
The old Trattoria Roma is becoming an Irish pub & restaurant, O’Reilly’s…
And there’s also a new pizza place on Sixth Street called Zablong…
There’s this mess on Eighth Street…
And finally, Deskey has a new front window display…
The more things change, the things stay the same. There’s always something new popping up or being constructed in downtown Cincinnati. 😀❤️
I was walking back to work from getting my hair cut, and I stumbled across V’s CafeWednesday Grillout on the little plaza at the corner of Walnut and Seventh Streets just outside of the Aronoff Center for the Arts…
It came down to the Rib Eye Sandwich or the Mushroom & Swiss Burger…
I made a good decision. It was a great burger for just $6. I can’t wait to check out the next V’s Grillout Wednesday! 😀🍔❤️
IT’S INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY MATCHDAY! The United States Women’s National Team was playing their first match in Cincinnati since 2008 as they hosted New Zealand at Nippert Stadium. It also marks the first time the University of Cincinnati has ever hosted a national team match…
It seems like we’ve had our tickets for this match for months…
And the big day was finally here…
Here comes New Zealand…
And here comes the USWNT…
There’s Megan Rapinoe…
Tobin Heath…
And Cincinnati’s own Rose Lavelle…
They got the crowd going before the match with a chant of, “USA! USA! USA!”
The New Zealand National Anthem…
O say can you see…
Whoever made the tifo for the match deserves a high five, a handshake and pat on the back because it was pretty awesome…
Here we go…
GOAL USA! After relentless pressure right from the start of the match, the USWNT finally found the back of the net. New Zealand was doing a pretty good job of trying to weather the storm. But you had the feeling it was only a matter of time until the US finally opened the scoring…
It was such incredible night. Terrific atmosphere. We wouldn’t have missed seeing our Women’s National Team play right in our backyard for anything in the world. What an amazing way to cap another incredible summer of soccer at Nippert Stadium! It was pretty unbelievable! 😀🇺🇸⚽️🇳🇿❤️
And they were delicious! Surprisingly, the peppers weren’t spicy at all. But the stuffing did have a little kick to it. Nothing terrible, just a little zing. I’ve been really impressed with all the Prep+Pared meals. We haven’t had one meal that hasn’t been outstanding. I think we’d be really hard pressed to pick a favorite. They’re all so good. 😀🌶️❤️
