Correction:

• In the show, I mentioned that food trucks participating in the pilot program are allowed to operate from 6:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. each day.  Actually, the trucks may operate from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. the following day.

Travis Estell and Emily Schneider discuss the layoffs at the Enquirer and Cin Weekly, development along I-75 between Cincinnati and Dayton, young Cincinnatians sticking up for the city, the Museum Center tax levy proposal, reconstructing Washington Park, two new restaurants in the tri-state, and much more.
