    Not really, but we did go down to new Richmond, an Ohio River town that was very active in helping slaves escape to Canada.
    First we went to the Front Street Cafe for a nice lunch with a great view of the river.

    After lunch we took a walk along the riverside. Oddly enough, we happened to run across a picnic table in a park that was dedicated to the memory of Sherry Davis, our cleaning lady and friend for nearly 30 years. Had no idea that was there. Miss her. I think I will buy better plaque for the spot.

    Saw a few historic plaques, a flood gauge and other stuff. They had great apartments up on top of the businesses. It would be a nice place to live.

    The Majestic used to be downtown Cincinnati. They would do shows and haunted houses on it. Looks a bit decrepit now.

    And MFR on the stroll. Altogether a lovely day trip.

      That's some cool stuff. Looks wonderful.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
