Strolling Cincinnati

Good morning,

Today's images were taken while we strolled the streets of downtown Cincinnati. 

This is the corner of Fourth and Vine.  That's a trolly bus that runs between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

PNC bank occupies the southeast corner.

As we walked across Fourth Street, we came upon TJ Maxx which used to be the very, very upscale Gidding Jenny store.

If you look very carefully, you can still see the shadow of the letters that have been removed above those black squares and below the second floor windows.

  I remember waiting for my Dad to drive across Fourth Street and pick up my mother and me after we had shopped on Saturdays. There was music and perfume in the air.  Ah, yes, the luxury of yesteryear.  Now it is part of TJ Maxx.

 As we walked down Vine Street toward Third Street, I noted this sprinkler alarm.  I like the Viking name. ;)

 This shot is from Third Street looking up Vine. 

 We walked North again...

 ...and past this old bank building.  Cincinnati was originally settled by German immigrants who named this bank.  The bank was out of business (surely merged with another) long before I was born here.

I hope you enjoyed our walk downtown.  

All the best,

 Lois
