So, this morning I was happy to see Queen City Discovery’s post exploring the demolition site of The Cincinnati Friar’s Club in Clifton Clifton Heights. “…the Cincinnati Friars club dated back to 1860 and serves as an organization that provides outreach [...]
Track-walker children in Mariemont
I got this shot in Mariemont over the weekend. Liked it, so wanted to share. I was checking out an old, what appeared to be, foundry near the tracks which I discovered just driving around checking out parts of our town that I have never known before.

Finally. Ross’s Web site is done
I’ll give you this: Me owning a self-storage facility is not exactly what I envisioned as a child when I thought of professions I might like to pursue.

Intimate relationships are just plain not easy. Anyone who purports otherwise is either lying, crazy or has never been in one. I’m not married. I’m 35.

Where are Joe and his Dad now?
Today, along with my Dad, Hermann, I am traveling west to just south of St. Louis (in Illinois) to pick up a car. Right now Pops is in the driver’s seat and I am in the front passenger seat, all teched out, with my mobile broadband card keeping me fully tethered to the online world, [...]
