Northside Second Saturdays.
We ventured out this afternoon to check out Northside Second Saturdays. On the Second Saturday of each month, you can snack your way through the Northside business district and see the latest art exhibits, have a meal, listen to live music and top it off with drinks. We were eager to check it out for the first time…
Our Second Saturday started on a very somber note. Sarah Cole, owner of Tickle Pickle, was hit and killed by a car crossing Hamilton Avenue on Thursday. There was a makeshift memorial outside of Tickle Pickle that gave us both chills and brought tears to our eyes…
It’s terribly sad beyond words. After paying our respects and drying our eyes, we continued down Hamilton Avenue to Market Side Mercantile…
There’s some really great stuff in there. It’s a like a mini City Flea right in our backyard. There are definitely some very reasonably priced pieces that we could easily find a place for in our house. We’ll be back for those very soon…
We made the decision to come back to a handful of little shops and galleries to get lunch first…
We ordered chips and salsa, couple of tacos and the jerk chicken quesadilla at Django Western Taco…
And the Michigan game was on TV! As we were eating some pretty ominous storm clouds started to appear on the horizon…
And it started pouring…
And it was really coming down out there. So we drank margaritas at Django while we waited out the storm. Did you know Django has a great little back patio?
Eventually, the rain stopped. On the way home, we ducked our heads into Northside Tavern…
Northside Tavern was hosting a performance by the School of Rock Mason celebrating Nirvana’s Nevermind…
It was REALLY very impressive. We listened to those kids belt out a few Nirvana songs, and we decided to head for home…
On the way home, the sky was just amazing…
It was a really fun Saturday even despite all the rain. We had planned on swing ing back through some more little shops, maybe hitting Urban Artifact or The Littefield and maybe Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition. Hopefully, it will be a little bit drier for Second Saturday in October. 🙂

Happy Streetcar Day!
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. 🙂

Northside Farmers Market and Pickle Gose.
After work this evening, I met Genifer at Hoffner Park for this week’s Northside Farmer’s Market…
We picked up a few vegetables and some odds and ends, then headed over to Urban Artifact to try their newly tapped Pickle Gose…
We weren’t really sure what to expect. But it was surprisingly good. I don’t know that would want to drink a couple three of them in a row but it was pretty good for the first pickle beer I’ve ever had.
There’s always something interesting going on at Urban Artifact. I can’t wait to see what they come up with for next week’s #TapTuesday 🙂

Good morning & good evening from Northside.
It was a Tuesday after a long holiday weekend. Needless to say, we didn’t do much this evening. At all.

We ordered pizza, got sucked into a silly a movie on TV and took Oscar for a couple of walks around the block…
But it sure was a pretty morning and beautiful evening. 🙂

FC Cincinnati versus St. Louis FC.

FC Cincinnati defeated St. Louis FC 2-1 in front of 17,415 at Nippert Stadium. Ugo Okoli netted both FC Cincy goals – one in the 84th minute and another on a penalty kick in second-half stoppage time. FC|C had the better run of play through the entire match and really deserved this win. It was a great game and terrific way to wind down a wonderful Labor Day weekend. 🙂

Sunday Funday.
Happy Labor Day weekend! This afternoon we rode our bikes across Northside for the very first time…

And we rode them over to Urban Artifact…
It was a really easy, little ride…
We had a couple of beers and brought home a growler of Keypunch. On the ride home, we stumbled upon this little, fun-looking waterpark and community pool…
We saw this garage labelled garage…
We came home and grilled up a whole bunch kabobs and steaks…
Oscar kept creeping closer and closer…
Delicious stuff. It turned out to be a really beautiful day and a gorgeous evening…
Especially after Notre Dame lost, that was the cherry on the Sunday. 🙂

Cabana on the River.
After Genifer’s nephew’s football games, we stopped for lunch with Cleve and Alyssa at Cabana on the River…
I ordered the jumbo shrimp dinner and Genifer had the turkey burger with avocado…
Great stuff. Also great were the views of the Ohio River…
It was a fun afternoon. And it’s always great to hang out with Cleve and Alyssa. 🙂

St. Antoninus football.
This afternoon we drove out to the westside to watch Genifer’s nephew’s St. Antoninus football games…
Liam’s game was first. He’s number 53 right there…
And then it was time for Aiden’s game…
He’s number 95 over there on the right…
It was beautiful afternoon for some great St. Antoninus football! 🙂
