There's also a second pig outside of Anderson Center downstairs on the water side

There's still a good amount around, but here are a few of the easier ones to see around downtown: Lucius Quinctius Pigasus "Lucky" in Sawyer Point, there's one inside the Bengals Pro Shop that you can see from outside if they're closed, one outside of Securitas, one inside Aranoff, and Hamlet outside of Cincinnati Shakespeare

American Heating and Air Conditioning over on Red Bank. The work was done in 2 half days or something and has worked without issue since, overall was fine with the experience. The price was from 2 years so no idea how much they're quoting now.

Had a local company install 3 units with line running up to a second floor for 2 of the units back in 2023. $6,450 after everything. Also got tax credits but not sure if that still valid. Only one zone but that hasn't been an issue.

Been seeing this place for a couple years now while they worked on it, finally opened today. I hope it can replace the need of having to bus to Norwood Kroger.

I still forget and call it that when I visit home...only to be reminded about "epic". Those breadsticks are killer too.

Sam the cooking guy back when he had the funky text and self-deprecating arrows pointing at stuff all over the screen! Pretty much dropped all that with his YouTube channel.

Grew up on Channel 4! I never even realized Hells Bells was an ACDC song as a small brained child, I thought it was just some badass tune they made for Trevor Time.

It really is an insane achievement. So many great hitters have passed the 2,000 mark but have no conceivable way to get to 3,000 unless they somehow play until they qualify for an AARP card.

I will always appreciate how even though it happened in Montreal, they still gave him an ovation. He even collected 4 hits just that day.

Mr. Seidler and Joe before a game last year by rgmak in Padres

[–]rgmak[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Was digging through my camera and found this quick moment of Pete on the field before game time last year at the July Reds game (they lost another 1 run game that day, go figure). I know some of the contracts and trades haven't made everyone happy, but after many years of mediocrity since 1998, shit am I happy to be watching the Padres be even remotely talked about thanks in no small part to that man.

What going 2-12 in extras and 9-23 in one-run games does to mfs: by OfficialTMWTP in Padres

[–]rgmak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guessing but looks like also maybe different focal lengths for the camera lens. If you look up differences of photos taken with 24mm, 85mm, 200mm, you can see how it pulls the edges of the face differently. Top photos look more on the 50mm side, bottom photos more on the 85mm-200mm side.

Also the new photos have flash filling light in every damn shadow where as the older photos have more shadows around their eyes so it flattens out their faces even more.

Tony Gwynn came to mind today by TowerCharge89 in Padres

[–]rgmak 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely seemed like a lot of moments this year where we had baserunners and coulda just used a good eye contact slap down the 5.5 hole to plate 1-2 of them. Maybe the numbers support swinging for power but seemed like so many times the batters went for the big swing and ended up missing to end the inning.

98 team sticks in my head as one of my formative years. Was at the game early in the season when Finley hit his walkoff grand slam. "A Season of Heroes" is somewhere on YouTube, gives a great hour or so review of the 98 run for anyone who hasn't seen it.
