Good morning, Clermont County. A signed Taylor Swift guitar is striking a powerful chord in the fight against cancer. Local nonprofit Cancer Support Community is raffling the coveted autographed instrument to fund free services for families facing cancer diagnoses. With just 250 tickets available at $50 each, this rare opportunity transforms Swiftie fandom into meaningful community support, with the winner to be announced at October's Stronger than Cancer Celebration.
Meanwhile, the local landscape continues evolving with Fifth Third Bank's planned addition to West Chester Plaza along the bustling Tylersville Road corridor. And food enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as the historic Rookwood building in Mount Adams prepares for its culinary renaissance. The landmark will soon house Al'Lupo, a modern Italian eatery from restaurateur Roberto Peloni, promising innovative dishes like rigatoni calabrese and paccheri with pistachio pesto when it opens this October.

🎸 Taylor Swift's autographed guitar could help cancer patients in Cincinnati.

🏦 Fifth Third Bank coming to bustling West Chester Plaza. Trustees approved a plan to split a 1.05-acre parcel from the Kohl's site along Tylersville Road for the new bank. The 5,225-square-foot facility with drive-thru will join a growing commercial area that includes a new coffee shop and Kroger. Architect Andrew Lehman hopes to complete permits by early next year, with the bank expected to open by late 2026. The bank will be part of a vibrant retail corridor with cross-property access to neighboring businesses like Panda Express.
