​

Good morning, Clermont County. The sizzle of tortillas and the aroma of spiced meats are wafting through Cincinnati as Taco Week transforms nearly 50 restaurants into fiesta destinations. For just $2.50 per taco, culinary adventurers can download the official app, plan their routes, and even compete for a $500 gift card by checking in at five different locations. This delicious celebration continues through Sunday, offering the perfect excuse to explore new neighborhoods while supporting local eateries.

While taco enthusiasts map their week, music lovers are reminiscing about Cincinnati's storied underground scene, where basement shows featured performers swinging from ceiling ducts and crowds packed into sweaty DIY venues. These unconventional spaces like Warner House and Electric Company on Vine Street may skirt legality, but they've created an essential chapter in the city's musical heritage. Meanwhile, Butler County voters are preparing for a pivotal school board election that could reshape Lakota's leadership and determine the fate of a proposed facilities bond issue.

🗳️ Butler County voters face pivotal choice for Lakota school board. The November election could reshape the district's leadership with three open seats potentially creating a new majority on the five-member board. Six candidates are competing, including incumbent Kelley Casper, former students, parents, and business professionals, each bringing different perspectives on the district's proposed tax bond issue. The ballot measure would fund significant changes to school facilities, including building new schools and closing older ones. Candidates are divided on the tax issue, with some supporting it as necessary for future growth while others oppose it as financially burdensome.
