WKRQ-FM (Cincinnati, OH)

Fourth of July from City View Tavern / Roy Brown City View Tavern in Mount Adams has finally sold after spending roughly six years on the market, putting one of Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhood bars under new ownership. The tavern dates to 1875 and is especially loved for its tiny, wonderfully unfussy atmosphere, burgers and a deck with a sweeping view of Downtown Cincinnati. Roy from the Hang is a frequent visitor and says he feels like its one of best secret views of the city.

All it takes is a quick scroll through social media to know that plane etiquette is a hot topic. Between debates about who should get the armrest, how to handle seat swap requests and passenger shaming of those with bare feet on flights, there’s a lot getting people upset about the way others behave and a new survey reveals how people really feel about all of it.

Greater Cincinnati is about to get a new reason to make brunch plans. Biscuit Belly, the Louisville-based breakfast and brunch concept known for massive biscuit sandwiches, Southern comfort food and creative morning cocktails, is preparing to open its first locations in the Cincinnati area this September. The restaurants will replace existing Maple Street Biscuit Company locations in Florence, Kentucky, and Mason, Ohio.

Pizza Hut is giving its name a playful football-season makeover. The restaurant chain says it will temporarily go by simply “Hut” for 25 weeks, beginning with the kickoff of the 2026 NFL season. The change is a nod to the familiar “hut” call heard at the line of scrimmage during football games. The temporary branding has already started appearing in the real world.

Rides, attractions, and carnival games can be fun, but everyone knows the real star of a state fair is the food. This time of year, they’re happening all across the country and every year, they entice foodies to try the newest treats and sweets. Classics like corn dogs and funnel cakes will always be around, but these buzzworthy dishes at state fairs this year are worth standing in line for, too.

After decades of putting myself last on the list, I looked in the mirror and saw the toll that had taken. And I didn’t like it. The clear next step for me was to give Dr. Mendelsohn at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center a call. You can schedule a consultation at 351face.com.
