Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)

Cincinnati receives $2M state grant to prepare former shopping center site for new housing (local12.com) — Cincinnati just secured a $2 million state grant to get the long-vacant MidPointe Crossing site in Bond Hill ready for new housing, including single-family homes and townhomes. The money will fund demolition, grading, stormwater work, and road subbase so construction can finally move forward near major employers and the new Hamilton County offices, after years of stalled redevelopment plans.

5. 'He saved his own life': Former Cincinnati fire chief escapes after home catches fire (local12.com) — A retired Cincinnati fire chief who served the city for nearly 30 years is recovering after escaping a devastating house fire in Miami Township with his son's dog.
