National landlord faces lawsuits in Cincinnati
Second Avenue, a big corporate landlord that owns 200+ rentals around town, is getting sued by both tenants and the city. Complaints range from mold to sewage problems, and courts already flagged their leases as unfair.

Gas prices spike across the Tri-State
If your last fill-up felt like highway robbery, you’re not wrong. Prices spiked this week after a refinery in Indiana went down, cutting into Midwest supply.

Cincinnati sets new weather record
Fall decided to sneak in early. You know, that midwest meme where we have false fall and then back to summer? It's one of those! CVG hit 49° on August 27, breaking an 80-year-old record for that date. Great for sweater season lovers, but meteorologists say it’s also another example of the wild swings we’ve been seeing in our weather patterns.
