Work Trip: Cincy Round Two (Well, Mostly Covington, Kentucky)

For a second time this year (well, ever) I had to travel to Cincinnati for another shoot for the namesake university. I spent the day out in the suburbs shooting 360s at their satellite campuses before heading to neighboring Covington, Kentucky for dinner and a walk.

I ended up at KungFood Amerasia for the good vibes and decent Chinese American food.

Covington kind of feels like a bonus neighborhood of Cincinnati.

Much like Over the Rhine it is full of mid-19th century Italianate architecture.

I walked from Downtown Covington to the hip Mainstrasse neighborhood.

I could totally live in this Kentucky burgh.

Cincinnati and Covington have such good old school urbanism.

Since I skipped it last time, I checked out the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge. The bridge was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Designed by its namesake, it was a test case for his later design for the Brooklyn Bridge.

Fun fact.

It's striking how similar it feels to its more famous successor.

Covington, you have my attention.

The next morning I slowly traversed Cincinnati before I had to fly back home. First stop was a walk around the Hyde Park neighborhood.

I wasn't sure how to kill another couple of hours, so I ended up back in Over the Rhine. Cause it rules.

Favorite neighborhood in the United States? It's up there.

The Northern Liberties section of OTR gives you a decent view into what much of the neighborhood looked like before it was redeveloped. Or gentrified. Though the neighborhood remains rather diverse.

Until next time Cincy. I'll have to take the family along next time.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.

A Fall Farmers Market Visit

I prefer the local King Field Farmers Market or the bougie Mill City Farmers Market, but we decided to stop by the OG Minneapolis Farmers Market. Early October is peak farmers market season here in Minnesota. Scott claims the Kingfield Farmers Market has the same stuff but I don't believe it. There's just the same stuff 5 times over at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. I'll admit this place is pretty great despite being in the armpit of a freeway.
