There was a storm rolling into Northside this morning…


I could have stood there all morning and watched that storm pass through. It was really pretty. But unfortunately, we have stuff to do. Good morning from Northside. ๐๐โ๏ธโค๏ธ

FC Cincinnati was playing host to Sporting Kansas City on yet another cold and rainy Sunday. Remember when soccer used to be played on Saturdays?
















And the match would end in a 1-1 draw.ย




After the match, we hopped in an Uber to get back to Northside to get a slice of pizza at Chameleon and then we walked home…


And the slices were pretty much the best part of the evening. Standing around on another cold and rainy Sunday watching a lackluster performance. I’m getting pretty tired of these Sunday matches. If I wanted to watch mediocre football on Sunday afternoons, I’d go to Bengals game.๐โฝ๏ธโค๏ธ

Tonight, FC Cincinnati played host to Philadelphia Union in what will forever be known in my mind and always referred to as the FC|C Monsoon Match…





We headed down to where we normally stand only to find a lot of people had pretty much the same exact idea…






I think I spent as much time watching the rain fall as I spent watching the soccer…




We decided to break camp just before half time and watch the second half from the comfort of St. Clair. Any place inside of Nippert Stadium with an overhang was jam-packed full of people…











When FC Cincinnati went down 2-0, we decided to pack it in completely, get an Uber and head for home…



FC Cincinnati ended up losing the monsoon match 2-0. ๐โฝ๏ธ๐ง๏ธโ๏ธโค๏ธ

We had a whole entire day of Cincinnati sports planned today. A couple of weeks ago, we bought Fioptics District tickets for today’s afternoon Reds game. And then after the Reds game, we were going to ride the Metro 17 bus up to tonight’s FC Cincinnati match. Before the Reds game, we stopped to eat lunch at The Pony…

And look what they still had on draft…


The Pony is such a great little place…


We shared a chicken finger basket. Their chicken fingers are just out of this world…


And we shared their delicious chicken wing dip…

It was remarkably similar to Genifer’s buffalo chicken dip. But it was served with Frito’s instead of tortilla chips. I really liked it with Frito’s. I liked it a lot. Genifer also got the very last of the Bell’s Mango Habanero Oberon…

While we were eating, it would alternate between being sunny outside and then a few minutes later it would be pouring down rain. We were watching the Reds Twitter for any updates, And as we were getting ready to head down towards the ballpark, this tweet popped up…

The start of the Reds game was delayed. And then there was this tweet that popped up a little while later…

Bummer. You know what they say about best-laid plans, right? At least we got a really good lunch out of it at The Pony. ๐๐ด๐ง๏ธโพ๏ธโค๏ธ

A pretty big thunderstorm blew through downtown Cincinnati this afternoon. The sky got really dark. And the tornado warning sirens were even going off around the city…

The clouds were pretty crazy and moving really fast. I captured this #LapseIt timelapse of the storm moving in above downtown Cincinnati…
The clouds weren’t moving that fast. But you get the point. And then it poured this afternoon.ย There was so much rain that on our way home Central Parkway was flooded across all four lanes of traffic…

We cut through the Big Boy parking lot to get around the flooding and the back of the parking lot was really flooded too…

Some cars just plowed right on through the flood waters…

Once we were able to get around this body of water, it was smooth sailing for the rest of the way home. Good thing we live on a hill. ๐๐ง๏ธ๐โค๏ธ

It’s been so grey lately that I’m starting to forget what the sun looks like. Welcome to autumn in Ohio. ๐โ๏ธโค๏ธ

It was another rainy night in Northside. But this evening the sky was very orange…






It was really pretty compared to last night’s just plain grey.ย ๐โ๏ธโค๏ธ
