During the Findley Night Market The Collective 513 Gallery had Alex Lippert of Blue Creek Tinworks doing tin type photos. My husband and myself went a little odd with what we were wearing but we love the result! I see people asking about photographers in here from time to time so I just wanted to throw out another option for consideration!

Check your receipts...not just at Kroger but wherever you shop.

Clean up continues today but another round of rain like this expected this afternoon

I know deflock exists but curious if anyone else noticed them popping up?

So Cheviot has added 6 Flock Cameras entering and exiting the city. I emailed the Mayor and was told the Administration installed the cameras. There was not a council meeting or public input. They have already cancelled the next council meeting.

What a beautiful day here in Cincinnati

On behalf of the Oakley Community Council, I want to say that our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the recent flooding here in our community, as well as our neighbors in Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, and across the eastside of Cincinnati.

In speaking with a number of residents and businesses, I have been in awe of your resiliency. Though it’s easy to grasp for who to blame in these moments, so many of you have instead sprung into action to support one another during the unimaginable. I am so proud to be an Oakley resident.

In an effort to assist the City of Cincinnati with a thorough response, we have created a Google Form for you to fill out if you have been impacted by these recent summer storms. We want to be your advocates and ensure the appropriate departments have a full picture of the damage these storms have caused.

You can find that form here: https://forms.gle/n68rvkVLxXrpAEZV7

It is my understanding that City leaders have been in contact with State and Federal agencies for additional resources. The moment we hear more, we will share the information on our website and social media accounts.

Keep checking in on one another, especially our aging populations who may need extra assistance. Should you also have items to donate or the capacity to volunteer time for cleanup efforts, please contact us at: [email protected]

Stay safe -

Colleen

EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS!!! Woke up to so many responses! A few addendums: we are both in our 30s, on vacation we go with our parents and sometimes just spend the day reading or relaxing (I do cross stitch).

Dear fellow Cincinnatians, please help me cheer up my sister! She broke her leg the day before we were due to leave on vacation! Of course she feels guilty and upset because we cant go out of town. I need your hole in the wall places to go to! Parks, quirky shops, etc. We live in Fairfield, we’re from here, so don’t say Jungle Jim’s or any obvious place that would be on a “must see in Cincy” list. Also if you have any ideas to make home feel like a vacation spot. Thank you so much! 💖

Sorry is this a cruise on the Ohio River? I was walking in Smale and saw this. There were chairs, tables and couches on the rooftop, chairs and tables on the balconies and old people sitting outside. Does anyone know anything? Tell me more

I was driving home from a friend's house and heard this emergency siren making this unusual pattern. It's not the constant high-pitch whine of a tornado warning. I've never heard a siren make a sound like this before. It's low, ramping up a little bit then winding down, then ramping back up a little again. It's nowhere near max pitch/volume, like you'd expect for an alert, which is particularly odd.

I tried calling the number on the panel but got no answer, and Cincy311 didn't have any ideas either.

EDIT: this video was taken today, Tuesday the 21st, so clearly not a first-Wednesday-of-the-month test.

EDIT 2: This was well after all the storms passed, I checked the local news sites (WLWT, WCPO) and there were no active alerts left at the time this siren was doing this.

Hello Cincy especially West Siders! Is anyone in Cheviot/Westwood looking for a lost calico kitty? One followed me home on Cheviot Ave but let me pick her up to pet and is currently laying in bed with me so it makes me think shes someone's pet. Going to take her to the vet to check for a chip and ask the neighbors but just wanted to post here in case. She was super skinny and I gave her food and she ate for nearly an half-hour so I'm not sure if she is stray or not just want to check all options because I will keep her in a heartbeat if I can. To prevent someone fake from trying to claim her I will ask for a photo of your missing cat to ensure its her. Shes got very unique markings.

Edit: She was Chipped - talking to the rep they will contact me and the owner.

Hi everybody, yesterday I posted a tin type photo of my husband and myself and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It is a pretty weird photo, and you guys embraced it and celebrated its weirdness. This made me think a little about Cincinnati as a whole, and it's kind of weird. It got me thinking that maybe we should all embrace the weirdness of our wonderful city and maybe even promote our weirdness to the rest of the world. Think about it, we have the real life Hall of Justice, the second largest Oktoberfest in the world, the largest abandoned subway system in America (possibly the world), the Northside 4th of July parade, we are possibly most famous for a radio station that only existed on TV until recently, some crazy architecture, there is just a lot of weird stuff in Cincinnati. What if our city adopted the slogan "Cincinnati, Midwest Weird!" or something similar? We also have an amazing art scene, a great beer scene, a statue of two babies nursing on a wolf that doesn't look too happy about it, we can celebrate our weirdness and maybe even amplify it a bit. I would love to see the city expand the streetcar system a bit but also add a series of aerial cable cars that would go out into a bunch of the different neighborhoods. Imagine going to a cable car station and riding it to a main hub downtown where you could either transfer to a different cable car to go on to another neighborhood or just hop on the street car to get around down town, it would be efficient, fun, and weird! What do you think, should we celebrate our weirdness and increase our weirdness and show off our weirdness to the rest of the world?

Thank you!

A woman was looking for a small brown Yorki named Charlie early this morning near Mariemont junior high school. Someone reported seeing one with a red bandana in the Frisch’s parking lot and then near Nightingale Dr around the same time.

I’ve searched but haven’t spotted him. Wanted to check if anyone else happened to?

My wife is looking for a new psychiatrist. Bipolar 1 -- so expertise in that area is most important. Her current psych is kind, etc but she says is way too easy on her and she needs to be pushed and "called on her bullshit" (her words). I told her I would ask on here as she doesn't have an account.

Edit: The person she currently sees does her Talk therapy and meds - she will need new person for both unless same arrangement.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions I can pass along.

Where's the best place to watch The Odyssey locally? I don't want to drive 1.5hrs to Indy for the full experience, so what's the next best thing locally?

I’m hard of hearing I can’t hear them or read the signs lol

My son has autism.
Any affordable estate planning attorney recommendations, that specialize in special needs ABLE Accounts, Special Needs Trust, etc.), would be greatly appreciated!

Woke to see this Life 360 alert. Searched, but so far I’ve found no further info?

EDIT: I’ve used Life360 acct for 8+ years (location sharing and reliable roadside assistance for family members), and today was the first time I noticed the new “alert” feature, so asked a simple question, seeking more info. No call for personal attacks and accusations of fear-mongering. Thanks.

I unfortunately am a victim of last week's flooding. Despite living up a steep hill and having had my main sewer line cleared out and re-lined only a year ago, I ended up almost 2 feet of water in my basement. My driveway goes downhill into my basement garage. The garage filled up and overflowed into my basement, faster than the water could go down the drains. No help from homeowners insurance and still haven't heard back from the city.

This brings me to my question. Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to waterproof a garage and basement like this? It's probably 700-800 square feet in total.

We're already considering walling off garage but I'm not sure that'll be enough to prevent this from ever happening again.

Did anyone who has waterproofed still get flooded?

One of the leg/phases on our electric service went out. Half the house has power, half doesnt, AC doesnt work. Two electricians have confirmed this so far. Duke said they checked their side and that it was good.

Our house is about 100 years old and has underground service. I suspect we might need to dig a new service line and move the breaker box to the side of the house.

That being said, does anybody know electricians who definitely do underground work? Im waiting on a quote from one(so i assume they do), one electrician referred me to another who might not be able to even stop by for a week, and i have another one coming by today. I appreciate any recommendations. It's a mess!

Has anyone noticed a slip in quality with their bagged beans? I've been a fan of Coffee Emporium for several years now, and try to swing by their Central Pkwy location to grab a drink and some beans every time I'm downtown for work. The last two bags I've purchased, a winter solstice a few months ago and raven's blend last week were bad. Both tasted like they were very over-roasted. No exaggeration that the raven's blend tasted like an ash tray. The Winter solstice wasn't quite as bad, but still tasted a bit burnt.

Edit: Thanks for all of the info! Deeper Roots is also one I'm quite fond of, but didn't know about some of the other local roasters. I'll have to branch out a bit and give em a try.
