Bengals Helmet

This is the year the Bengals get through the playoffs. I just know. Unless the cabal that runs NFL films decides that they don't have enough early season video because they didn't think that they would be any good.

Bite me cabal that runs NFL films.

Skyline Time

Cincinnati might have more murals than a mural exhibition

What I saw tonight

While I do not know for sure, I'd like to think that everyone who rides a bike on urban roads acknowledges road kill with the respect it deserves. I know I do. After all, that could be me, or you, or anyone else with a mere half inch of rubber between you and the road. Of course, I saw more than roadkill today. I reminded myself why I like this city so much. Cincinnati is vibrant. In a 22 mile ride I saw the following:


Mansions and old money gentry;

a historic Conservatory;

the Playhouse in the Park;

Mt. Adams;

Panoramic skyline views;

historic Cincinnati Museum Center;

West Liberty and Linn in the West End (perhaps Cincinnati's second most dangerous neighborhood - ride fast);

and I came home to a hot coconut based vegetable soup whipped up by my lovely wife. Not to mention an enthusiastic, "Daddy!" So, I suppose that life is pretty good so long as I remember what matters.

Also, I found a new Cincinnati blog while pulling up some links. Check out Queen City Survey.

Three neighborhoods, one view

This is taken from the 15th floor of a building on Seventh Street.

Starting at the top is Christ Hospital, where my daughter was born. That's Sycamore Street snaking up the hill. The Davis Furniture sign has been a feature of Main street since I moved here and well before that.

Yes, that is life size Jim Tarbell

Who is Jim Tarbell? I first heard his name when I started working in news here in Cincinnati. He was the Cincinnati City Councilman who chased burglars out of his house with a baseball bat. He is the man on the scooter or the bicycle cruising through downtown and Over-the-Rhine. He owned the Ludlow Garage in Clifton when it was a music venue.

And yes, he is always the best dressed man in the room.

Why do I do Cincinnati Daily Photo? Why, sometimes, is it not so daily? Because it is a love letter to this city, my adopted home town. I love this town. I see something cool every day. But, that does not mean I'm always hunky dory with this particular place and time. Like any relationship, it takes work.
