Nothing Ever Happens on My Street
Reporting on the minutiae of the day
The Week in Dollar Store Decorating: I appreciate Halloween, but I don't really go all out with costumes and decorating. When my apartment building announced a door decroating contest I wasn't terribly interested. I don't know how to stick stuff to the door, or how to put together a respectable display. But, I do like… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #72
The Week in Pop Music [Well, the week in pop music the way I wish popular music sounded]: At MOTR on Saturday, the three-band evening kicked off with Baltimore's Super City, a personable band that played short, catchy songs and played them well.

Their free pretzel to get in… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #68
Monday, September 3 - Sunday, September 9 The Week in Community: On Thursday downtown Cincinnati was a victim of a mass shooting. That is, while (obviously) the biggest impact of this shooting were the human victims (3 dead, 2 wounded, and the gunman dead) and their families, the City itself is a victim, too.… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #67
Sunday, August 26 - Sunday, September 3 The Week(end) in Food - Part 1: I got off work early on Friday for the Labor Day Weekend and grabbed a quick lunch at one of my old stand-bys, Pontiac, where 80's movies play in the background as they serve up BBQ and Bourbon. I made… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #66
