Good morning, Hamilton County. The newly renovated $260 million Cincinnati Open campus isn't just serving up world-class tennis—it's also serving budget-conscious fans with tickets starting at just $8. These affordable options offer full access to qualifying rounds, weekday matches, and Thursday's Kid's Day special where children under 12 receive 50% off with adult ticket purchase. Beyond the court action, visitors can enjoy live music, food experiences, and shopping at this enhanced entertainment destination.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati Children's Centerville location is temporarily closing its doors after August 8 for several months of construction work. Staff are working to minimize disruption by transferring appointments to other locations while maintaining the same dates, times, and providers when possible. And if you've ever wondered why certain scents trigger powerful emotions, UC cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos has the answer—our fragrance responses connect directly to the brain's limbic system, creating connections that go far beyond just pleasant smells.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🏥 Cincinnati Children's Centerville location closing for months due to construction. The facility will shut down after August 8 for necessary construction work expected to last several months. During the closure, appointments will be moved to other Cincinnati Children's locations, with staff trying to maintain the same date, time, and provider for patients. Some visits may be switched to telehealth, and Centerville Primary Care will temporarily relocate to share space with Liberty Primary Care. Officials will contact patients in order of scheduled appointments to discuss options.
🎾 Tennis fans can score Cincinnati Open tickets for just $8. The tournament offers several budget-friendly options, including qualifying round seats that provide full access to the newly renovated $260 million campus. Weekday tickets (Monday-Thursday) are generally cheaper than weekend matches, with Grandstand Court offering some of the most affordable options. Thursday's Kid's Day provides 50% off for children under 12 with adult ticket purchase. Beyond tennis, visitors can enjoy live music, food experiences, and shopping at the tournament's enhanced entertainment venue.
👃 Fragrance obsession might be more than just a pleasant smell. UC cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos explained on Cincinnati Edition that our emotional responses to fragrances connect directly to our brain's limbic system. While the 3,500+ chemicals used in fragrances can irritate those with respiratory conditions or cause allergic reactions, these adverse effects only impact 2-5% of the population. Dobos noted that industry organizations study safety data on fragrance chemicals, including effects on health and environmental toxicology. Companies manufacturing scented products rely on this research to ensure multiple layers of safety substantiation in their fragrance development.
