Downtown Today

This afternoon I took the bus to downtown Cincinnati. The photo above is one of the buildings. Below is Macy's decorated for the holidays.

The kale was outside Carew tower,

the poinsettias

and the aqua-lit glass blocks were inside Carew tower,

and here's the view from the observation deck. With 49 stories, Carew Tower is the tallest building in Cincinnati.

At the Great American Ball Park, it was a sad day, and people came to pay tribute to Joe Nuxhall, who died yesterday. The statue celebrates his being the youngest player in the major leagues at age 15. It was during World War II and many of the older players were serving in the war.

After his playing years ended, he was an announcer for the Reds.
