Clermont County • September 2, 2025
Good morning, Clermont County. The night sky erupted with color and thunder over the Ohio River last weekend as the Western & Southern WEBN Fireworks painted brilliant patterns against the darkness. This beloved Cincinnati tradition brought crowds to both sides of the river, where live music from bands like Sugar Daddy and LunchBox set the perfect soundtrack for the spectacular pyrotechnic display captured beautifully by photographer Joe Simon.
While fireworks lit up the sky, the luxury housing market is creating its own kind of boom with record-breaking sales reaching a staggering $27.9 million in July. Hyde Park's Victoria Avenue property helped push Greater Cincinnati's high-end real estate to unprecedented heights. And for our senior readers looking to save: mark your calendars for Wednesday, when Kroger offers an additional 5% discount for shoppers 55 and older, complete with complimentary coffee and pastries during morning hours.
