Sign at West Berkeley Senior Center
The sign was in faded colors of blue, green, and brown. I converted the color image to B&W, modified shadow detail, adjusted contrast, and came up with something I thought was more interesting.

Oops, I did it again…
so... which do you prefer? gold star or Skyline?
it's actually a divisive topic in parts of SW OH....
I've Never had Gold Star. only Skyline has franchised up this way, and I've only been to the Cincy area a couple times...
last time I was down there (2010..11?) I was taking my Nephew to Kings island. He doesn't like Skyline, so we skipped the whole thing, but I found a Big Boy still open. (all of them around here closed in the mid 90's.) The Swiss Miss was Delicious.

You ain't gonna eat all of that are you???
I remove most of the cheese, and leave a good deal of the pasta and coney buns.

In reality I should just order a bowl of chili with beans and onions… but I rarely eat pasta and this is one of the situations I enjoy.

Cincinnati Chili is my guilty pleasure, and my favorite fast food. I could have much worse vices.

I prefer Skyline. I didn’t have dinner (was planning to get a 5-way when I got to Ohio), but in the end I closed the Gold Star out because we were delayed on the flight there due to thunderstorms.

So Gold Star it was, because it was closest to the airport and it was closing time.

Gold star is saltier, I think Skyline has a better spice blend. I like the mild cocoa and cinnamon flavors.

I did see a sign for a big boy when driving up the I75 to Dayton. Last Big Boy I went to must have been well over 10 years ago somewhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Cincinnati is a pretty city IMO.

100 mpg is worth it. My last job before they moved it was a 15 min drive. I could have done it all on backroads with this. Lol
I commute to work 15 miles one way, 30 miles round trip. Plus for errands. The 15 miles commute to work takes 5 more mins than a car, but definitely is a lot more fun and engaging than a car ride. Plus I get to explore a ton of backroads that I didn't even know existed.

Life is too fast already. This little scoot helps me learn to slow down and enjoy the little things in life, that I would otherwise just blast past without even appreciating it for a moment or two.
