  1. U.S. News & World Report ranked Cincinnati as one of the top 50 best places to live in the country. The city came in at No. 41 of 150 metro areas and scored 6.4. Ranking indicators included quality of life, job market, and desire to live in the area. (FOX19)
  2. Urban Sites and Over-the-Rhine Community Housing received funding from the state to build affordable housing on the Northside. The 52-unit Vandalia Point development will be located at the Vandalia Triangle. The units will range from studios to three bedrooms and will be reserved for residents that make up to 60 percent of the area's median income. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
  3. The suspect accused of making threats against Proctor & Gamble on Wednesday is now in custody on a mental health warrant and is being evaluated at a hospital. The individual's most recent threat that shut down P&G's downtown offices is the latest in a series of events over the last year involving police. Four such incidents took place in 2021 and included a threat against the police. (WLWT Cincinnati)
