My new place...

It didn't take me long to find my new place - I guess when you're anxious to get out of the hotel you'll jump at just about anything. I got an apartment that puts me close to the facility but still gives me a nice view of downtown. I can see US Bank Arena, Paul Brown Stadium and the Reds ballpark from my window, even get the river too, it's pretty cool. I decided I would rent for awhile until I learn more about the city and decide what the best area is for me. I came to Cincinnati before I signed because I wanted to get my place set up so that when camp ended I wouldn't have to worry about it. I wanted to be able to focus on football. So I guess you can say during the holdout I was shopping. I went to the Kenwood Mall and got everything I needed. Went to Our House, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Restoration Hardware to get all my stuff. I'm not an interior design guy, but these places made it easy. I went into Pottery Barn and liked their couch, chaise, ottoman, pillows set up they had on display so I got the whole set up. Same in Our House - liked their whole bedroom set so I got it. I think my place turned out pretty nice, I'll have to give you a little video tour one of these days. It will be my Yardbarker housewarming.
