🌙 Moon goes rouge

Hamilton County • March 11, 2025

​

Good morning, Hamilton County. The iconic Hyde Park Square is poised for a major transformation after the Cincinnati Planning Commission greenlit a controversial development project that Vice Mayor Kearney didn't mince words about, calling it "outrageous." The neighborhood's familiar landscape isn't the only thing changing around town—Frontier Airlines just launched nonstop flights to Texas, while Cory Bowman (yes, JD Vance's brother) has thrown his hat into the Cincinnati mayoral race.

Mark your calendars for a spectacular celestial show—though you'll need some patience. On March 14, 2025, Cincinnati's night sky will feature a blood-red moon during a total lunar eclipse at 2 a.m. Can't wait that long for astronomy content? Cincinnati Edition has you covered with host Dean Regas breaking down the science behind this crimson lunar phenomenon in an upcoming broadcast that's available live, replayed, or on-demand.

🏙️ Hyde Park Square development moves forward despite controversy. The Cincinnati Planning Commission voted to advance a large development that will permanently alter Hyde Park Square, with Vice Mayor Kearney calling the decision "outrageous." In other news, a former Reds third baseman will lead the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade, Frontier Airlines launched nonstop service to Texas, and JD Vance's brother Cory Bowman announced his Cincinnati mayoral bid. The article humorously debates when exactly "next weekend" occurs - this coming weekend or nine days later?
