[Suburbia Lost] Success Story/Taco Loco #2
An abandoned fast food restaurant in suburbia is reborn as an exceptional, local taco joint. Great food and a story of success in repurposing.
Autumn Morning in Covington
Some frames made on a fall morning while shooting for another story in Covington, KY in the shadow of the iconic bridge.

[Fading Advertisements] Beauty
A few weeks back, I went to meet up with Die Innenstadt at Rhinehaus to catch one of the last FC Cincinnati games of the season. I parked around the corner and as I walked to the bar, I noticed this fading advertisement sitting in Wilkymacky Alley. The only legible word left is "beauty" with a white painted frame around it.
Northside Applebee's
Finally, the City of Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood has something to celebrate!
October 2017
Photographs made over the past month that didn't have a place in other stories. Images made with a Canon 7DMKII and iPhone 7+. Also, a recap of stories from the past month.
The Queen City Discovery 10th Anniversary Special
This post was scheduled to publish on October 29, 2017 at 5:02 P.M. At that point, when this post is live, this website known as Queen City Discovery will be a decade old. It’s been an interesting ten years and as the anniversary approached, I debated on what I’d do to commemorate it or if I should at all.

[Fading Advertisements] Forgotten Frisch's
Renovations rounding out the redevelopment of a downtown block bring some old signs back to life, each with their own unique story.
The Return of Schwartz's Point
In the heart of the city, near the northern end of a neighborhood, and at a peculiar crossroads, there was this great little jazz club.
It's back.
Blue Jacket
An abandoned theatre for an outdoor drama that hasn't seen an audience in ten years is set to meet the wrecking ball.
September 2017
Photographs and short stories from September 2017 that didn't necessarily fit into larger narratives or posts.
QC/D on Good Seats Still Available
I’ve got a regular rotation of podcasts I listen to, but lately I’ve been addicted to one in particular: Good Seats Still Available. Host Tim Hanlon dives into a lifelong fascination with “what used to be in professional sports.”
The United States Women's National Team's Fourth Appearance in Cincinnati
f FC Cincinnati hasn't been enough of a statement that soccer has arrived in the Queen City, then perhaps Tuesday night was.
The Abandoned Railroad Trestles of Ault Park and Their Future
Over the years, people have casually mentioned the railroad bridge towering over Red Bank Rd. as a suggestion of another abandoned location to photograph. Sometimes, they’d also recommend the “hidden” one, another forgotten trestle in the woods, just west of the big one.
Frames from Sunday September 10, 2017
The corner of 4th/Vine in Downtown Cincinnati and Scott/4th in Covington. Trying to chase some light on a Sunday evening and looking back into street photography while wandering on the bike. Felt like the only people around were either going to/at the riverfront park or disappointed, drunken Bengals fans wallowing about.
Kentucky Kingdom: Six Years Later | Part 2
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom had a reputation and eventually the gates closed, the carousel stopped playing music, and the roar of roller coasters were silenced.
Kentucky Kingdom: Six Years Later | Part 1
After photographing many abandoned amusement parks over the years, I've never seen one come back to life. Until now.
Last Day of Summer
A few quick photos made on the "Last Day of Summer" in 2017, wandering some tracks in my neighborhood after a run. Since these trains only seem to run and make copious amounts of noise in the middle of the night, you can get a pretty good look at their details and monikers in the early evening.
August 2017
I’ve now been doing these monthly posts for a year. One of the things I like about them is that they’re a visual record, a reminder of just how many things can transpire in a time period of 28-31 days.
