Good morning, Hamilton County. Cincinnati's rock royalty is making waves again as Foxy Shazam unveils their new single "Magic" at WVXU. When filmmaker James Gunn calls you "objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world," you must be doing something right. The local legends are not only embarking on a fall tour but have even secured a cinematic cameo alongside Superman himself—proving Cincinnati talent continues to soar beyond our city limits.
While one local business celebrates a remarkable milestone—Tēla Bar and Kitchen marking ten years in an industry where survival is increasingly rare—a Kentucky family faces unimaginable tragedy. A house fire that severely burned 3-year-old Braxtyn has sparked an outpouring of community support, with neighbors rallying to raise funds for the family who "lost everything." Their $15,000 raised so far shows how quickly our region responds when neighbors are in need.

🎸 Cincinnati rock legends Foxy Shazam unveil new single "Magic" at WVXU. The band recently visited Cincinnati Public Radio's new headquarters to perform their latest track, described as a return to their roots. Superman filmmaker James Gunn, who calls them "objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world," featured their song "Oh Lord" as the theme for Peacemaker Season 2. Lead singer Eric Nally even made a cameo appearance in the new Superman movie alongside Cincinnati landmarks. Foxy Shazam will embark on a fall tour, continuing to showcase their signature blend of rock, pop melodies, and electrifying songwriting.
🔥 Kentucky community rallies for 3-year-old severely burned in house fire. Marshall Kilgore rescued two of his children from the August 12 blaze but initially couldn't find his autistic son Braxtyn in the thick smoke. The child was eventually found and rushed to a hospital burn unit in Dayton, Ohio. Neighbors have started a GoFundMe that has raised over $15,000 toward a $100,000 goal for the family who "lost everything." Fire officials determined the accidental fire was started by a child playing with a lighter.
🍽️ Ten years in business is a triumph for Tēla Bar and Kitchen. Owner L.R. Hunley has navigated a decade of challenges including the pandemic and skyrocketing costs that forced reluctant menu price increases. While many local Cincinnati restaurants and breweries are closing their doors, including the 33-year-old Listermann Brewery, Tēla has managed to survive. Hunley attributes their success to treating guests like family, keeping staff happy, and maintaining product quality. The milestone comes as the restaurant industry continues to face significant headwinds, with food and labor costs up 35% over five years.
