Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

  1. A new Cincinnati restaurant offers a unique twist on chicken and waffles. Chick'nCone at 10250 Gateway Place is serving chicken in a waffle cone. The new restaurant will be at the foot of the $50 million Approach at Summit Park development adjacent to a suburban park. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
  2. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear presents two more awards for engineering excellence for the Brent Spence Bridge that connects Covington with Cincinnati across the Ohio River. The awards are for reopening the bridge under budget and ahead of schedule. The bridge needed repairs after two semi-trailers collided and burned the bridge in Nov. 2020. (Eagle 99.3 FM WSCH)
  3. Cincinnati Metro is offering fare-free rides next week as a way to encourage Cincinnati residents to use public transportation. The fare-free rides are a limited relief to residents during the recent fuel price increase that is hitting the community's wallets. The rides will be fare-free on Mar. 20 through Mar. 26.

From our sponsor:

Today's newsletter is brought to you by Ring, a Patch Brand Partner. We all know that Ring is the leader in video doorbells for home security. But did you know that Ring now makes a home security system that is getting raves from consumer electronic experts? (Reviewers at CNET called the new system — known as the Ring Alarm Pro — "a giant leap for home security"). So why the kudos?

In a nutshell: the Ring Alarm Pro can protect your home both online and off. It includes a built-in eero Wi-Fi 6 router to help you get reliable physical and digital security in one, innovative device. Now you can help protect your home with all of the benefits of the Ring Alarm, to keep your home safe and secure, while experiencing fast, reliable connectivity.

To learn more about the system CNET called "the future of home security" or to build your own custom system, you can visit Ring here.
