Avoid Columbia parkway if you can. The light is out at Taft/Torrance/Columbia and it’s incredibly dangerous. They have blinking yellow on Columbia and blinking red at Taft and Torrance, but there’s terrible visibility and no one knows what to do. Lots of people stopping at the yellow and lots of people just gunning it on the red. It’s been out since last night so hopefully gets fixed soon
I’m a fairly recent transplant to the area and this is the first year I’ll be going to taste of Cincinnati. I’m sure traffic and parking are going to be awful. Is there a public transport or shuttle service option to get to the festival?
Hopefully I'm not the only one that remembers the recorded phone calls that WEBN would play starting at like 4pm on Fridays of a guy yelling that it's Friday and going on rants about work sucks etc. I know they were a thing at least until 2015-ish and are probably much older than that. Idk who the guy was but he was always loud.
Does anyone have any info on the source of those recordings and where I might be able to get my hands on them?
You know like the thick fluffy jiggly ones that are typically styled "Japanese pancakes" or something.
What do people think about Level Up USA as a company? I just got done with my second round of interviews with the company. It sounds nice because of how much flexibility they have and how much they want you to grow within the company. I’m curious as to what others think because I’m a bit skeptical since they don’t offer a 401K or PTO. It sounds like it’s all hustle and grind
I've considered joining because I'm into environmental Issues and sometimes they collect water samples out in the field which seems so fun. Has anyone here been a part of the club and volunteered?
Did somebody just hear like 5 gunshots back to back in dt or am I crazy
i am a (soon-to-be former) employee at krohn conservatory; we are currently doing our annual butterfly show and are wildly understaffed due to recent changes resulting from budget cuts. if you are planning on coming to the butterfly show, i strongly suggest that you buy your tickets online, especially on weekends and holidays. we have some flexibility in terms of accepting walk-ins on weekdays at the moment, but i would expect things to get a lot busier in the coming weeks as kids get out of school for the summer. the butterfly show is run on an hourly basis and we can only sell so many tickets per hour, so the best way to ensure that you get in is to buy online (plus, in light of the aforementioned staffing issues, it just makes our job easier and quicker). also: please try to come as close to your designated time as possible. your time in the butterfly room is limited to the hour you sign up for. you have as much time as you want in all the other rooms, it's just the butterfly room that's timed. here is a ticket link: https://krohn.regfox.com/destination-monarch-butterfly-show-2026
this post feels kinda rambly, so i hope i explained everything semi-coherently. lmk if you have any questions!
Hey Cincinnati astronomy enthusiasts. There’s a lot of great stuff going on right now for people who are into amateur astronomy. I am affiliated with the Cincinnati Astronomical Society (cinastro.org) one of the oldest and largest amateur astronomy groups in the nation. Our group is hosting a national amateur astronomers conference here in August called ALCON2026 (alcon2026.org) in coordination with The Astronomical League. There will be speakers, happy hours, a keynote banquet and all sorts of activities during this conference which runs from August 12-15th.
Our group also recently announced our partnership with The Moeller Observatory, a new private research-class observatory in Adams County. This state of the art facility brings professional level astronomy into reach for amateur astronomers in our area. For more information on The Moeller Observatory check out moellerobservatory.org. Reach out to us through our contacts at cinastro.org to find out more information about CAS and how we are managing events at The Moeller Observatory.
These are really exciting times to be into astronomy for people who live around Cincinnati.

The only project in the Cincinnati region that received funding is the Millikin interchange project in Butler County.
My personal two cents:
I understand how the Millikin interchange project will help further grow the 75 corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton, which will subsequently further strengthen the region, but I also agree that the aging infrastructure of the WH Viaduct should have been a top contender for funding.
Cincinnati west deserves (and needs) investment to help undo all of the wrongdoings that were placed upon the area when 75 cut through the city 60ish years ago. What do you think?
I saw this and was kinda curious what people think about it.
I usually stand on the no tax money for private business. 8 million seems low if it brings in good return in sales tax and whatnot. I am curious if they will want money for upkeep later like the Bengals do.
I grew up in Cincinnati, and my family gifted me a cute set of rookwood skyline dishes for Mother’s Day. I’m making 5 ways tonight and have some purse crackers from my visit home a few weeks ago, but missing a good hot sauce dupe. Any suggestions? I’m in southeastern/coastal Virginia if that helps narrow it down for availability
I'm planning a trip to a couple midwestern cities this Summer, and I was looking to book a room in Cincinnati/Covington at the very end of July -- but many hotels are sold out, and available rooms are 300-400 a night (instead of half that).
What is going on that weekend? (July 31 - Aug 1)
This girl? Just walked up to my house and won't leave. Not any of my neighbors. If you live in or around beechwood farms in union township and recognize it let me know.
The Cincinnati Southern Railway Trust, created after city voters decided to sell the railroad to Norfolk Southern in 2023, now has a balance of $1.89 billion, up from the $1.6 billion sale price.
Year to date, the trust is up 3.16%. Its annualized performance has been 9.79% since its inception in March 2024. That rate of return is well over the 5.5% target return each year.
The trust provided the city $56 million to spend in fiscal year 2026, which ends June 30. So far, the city has signed contracts or encumbered $20.7 million of the work and spent $7.8 million.
The city continues to look at other ways to get the money out the door so citizens see results, he said. “We are not where we want to be in terms of spend,” Bowers said. “The process is not set up to be fast.”
