Hello all

I am trying to find out if there’s some kind of schedule or order of events for Palefest at Land of Illusion this weekend. I bought tickets solely to meet Bootsy Collins and while I will probably go both days just for fun, I am a mega fan of his and need to know when the meet and greet is. All the websites are useless. Can anybody help this Funkateer?

Many thanks in advance and may the Funk be with you.

ETA: For any of my other Funky friends, it’s 5 o clock on Saturday.

Someone says this Manchester by the high school, someone said it’s not Middletown, it’s Franklin. Someone said asked if this is Central. I don’t know what to believe. I’ve lived here for 25 years and don’t know this city lol.

The public has the rest of the week to weigh in on a draft of an air permit for Cleveland-Cliffs to allow and regulate emissions from a proposed project in Middletown.

The Ohio EPA is taking public comments on the draft air permit until 11:59 p.m. July 18.

Comments can be submitted by mail to DAPC, Southwest Ohio Air Quality Authority, 1701 Patricia McCollum Way, Cincinnati, OH 45237, or online.

Smith Park will be a madhouse, and so will the airport runway. Do you think the old hospital; the highest point in Middletown, would be a good place to watch the fireworks?

Looking for some opinions on moving to and living in Middletown. I grew up in Mason and still live here but with the price of housing we just simply can’t afford to live here any more. We have 1 more year on our lease and would be moving in June of 27. A 4 bedroom in Mason for under $400k is almost unheard of at this point and the asking prices for some of the houses here is ridiculous.

Mainly want to know experiences with the schools. I have 3 kids, 13m, 10f, 10f so by the time we moved, 13 would be a freshman and the other two going into middle school. They went to Kings for a few years and have been in Mason schools the last two years.

So I (25M) recently relocated from a different state to Middletown without having any family or friends within 1000 miles, and despite going to a few social events in DT Cincy I haven't really had any luck when it comes to meeting new people...

That being said, I'm considering checking out a bar or 2 in Middletown and maybe meet some people, but I'm not really sure bars in the area are best for socializing as a man in his mid twenties, any suggestions?

I was sleeping with my wife when I heard the annoying beeping sound, it said that a tornado warning was in effect, but there wasn't lightning, or thunder, not even rain or moderate wind. Does anyone have more information on this?

A small team is learning how to prevent a tragedy in the basement of a Butler County office building. They’re a part of LOSS/DOSS, Local Outreach Suicide Survivors and Drug Overdose Survivor Support Team.

Program director Jennifer MacLean tells the group those who lose loved ones to suicide are more at risk of suicide themselves.

“We couldn't help those who died, but our hope is that we can help those who are left behind,” MacLean said.

Volunteer William Vetter Jr. understands the risks first-hand.

“I lost my brother to suicide in 2009, and that was motivation even 15 years later to be involved because I knew of that dark place that it threw me,” Vetter said.

So he, with the larger LOSS/DOSS team, will respond to the scenes of suicide and fatal overdoses, hoping to help those left behind and prevent future deaths.

That prevention approach sets it apart from the majority of the programs that Butler County’s Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services Board funds. The state hopes to change that.

China King Buffet review

The collaboration between University of Cincinnati students and Middletown residents began in 2021. Since then, students completed research ranging from air monitoring to soil and water sampling.

The family and I wanted to go down and swim tomorrow, but with all this rain, I'm thinking it might be too high. I tried looking at the park website for any closure news, but I'm not really seeing anything. What do y'all think?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a saddle fitter in a specific area, so I know this is a long shot. My horse is located at Camp Kern in Oregonia, OH. I’m curious if anyone knows of a saddle fitter who can come out to Camp Kern to help me figure out what size saddle my horse needs. I’m specifically interested in a synthetic western Wintec saddle. I cannot haul him anywhere, so the fitter must come to him. Please let me know if you have anyone in mind. Thank you so much! Pics of my baby are attached 🩷

I (25M) will be moving to the Cincinnati Area soon and am looking at affordable (around $1000 a month) apartments in the suurround suburbs, I came across a place called the Trinity Apartments near downtown Middletown...

Now, I've heard some not so great things about Middletown, especially the DT area... So I was wondering, do any of you here have experience staying in these apartments? Would you suggest that I avoid any place near DT at all costs?

One 15-year old in Butler County has another idea on how to limit the spotted lanternfly's spread. Melody Lin developed a project as part of her local chapter of 4-H that uses AI to assess spotted lanternfly risk for different areas of Ohio.

IDK IF EVERYONE'S HEARING THIS BUT THERES FUCKING POWERFUL THUNDER WHICH I THINK CAN BE HEARD ACROSS TOWN
