Excitement filled the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati as fans eagerly waited to see the Jonas Brothers live after their Happiness Begins tour ended in late February 2020.

To pump up the crowd, their first opener, Jordan McGraw, and his band played his pop / rock set. His set involved a lot of audience interaction which especially helped get the crowd going on that rainy Tuesday night.

Kelsea Ballerini and her band were next to perform and really enlivened audiences on their long-awaited search for the brothers. She opened with her hit single “Miss Me More” and delighted the audience with her other hits like “Dibs”, “Peter Pan”, “Yeah Boy” and her latest releases “Half of My Hometown”. “And” I stop drinking “.

The audience adored Ballerini for her beautiful singing and bubbly personality. Halfway through her set, she shared a video she made herself auditioning for a Jonas Brothers Meet and Greet in 2008. This video was the icing on the cake for making her performance unforgettable and her fans freaking out.

Now is the moment all fans have been waiting for: The Brothers. Kevin, Joe and Nick started the Remember This Tour with a background video about their most memorable moments and what it means to live in the moment and later remember the good times. They made small videos that were integrated into the entire show and told about their first musical memories.

After the video ended, the brothers opened with their hit song, after which the tour is named, “Remember This”. The crowd went wild in anticipation of what awaited the night. The band continued the concert playing some of their other hits from the past year and a half including “Only Human”, “Leave Before You Love Me”, “Lonely”, “What A Man Gotta Do” and even their two most recent tracks: “Who is on your mind?” And “Grace”.

The brothers also spent all night performing some of their solo pieces. The brothers played the hits from Joe Jonas’ band, “Cake by the Ocean” and “Toothbrush”. Not only was DNCE a treat to hear the hits, but the brothers surprised the audience by playing JinJoo Lee, the DNCE guitarist, with them and playing backup guitar for the rest of their set.

After playing a few more songs, they played a Jonas Brothers version of Nick Jonas’ solo work, performing “Jealous” and “Close,” with Kelsea Ballerini making her second appearance of the night, female vocals in the latter sang.

Memorable moments of the night include when the brothers took the time to thank the audience for being there for them. After thanking them, they opened the back of their piano, which contained a full bar, and then toasted the crowd. At the end of the toast, they sang a very intimate and unplugged version of “When You Look Me In The Eyes” to the audience.

Another unforgettable moment of the night was when the band performed “Burnin ‘Up”. Every fan of the Jonas Brothers knows that Nick’s solo of the lyrics “red dress” has become something of a meme for the Internet community. When that part came up in the song, instead of singing it, he grabbed someone’s sign from the front row that said “red dress” in block letters. The crowd burst out laughing.

All of the appearances were iconic, with the brothers performing a balanced mix of their older music as well as songs released after the band reunited in 2019.

The fans who watch this tour will definitely remember it. All night long the crowd was completely busy and happy to watch the brothers do what they love most. The simple choreography, stylish clothes and synchronized guitar solos were just part of the long list of amazing parts of this concert. Overall, charm, humor and not to forget the talent of the band made the evening a success.

CINCINNATI, Oh. (WTVQ / Press Release) – The new hippopotamus on the block at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, 18-year-old Tucker, made two new friends today! The other hippos, the world famous Fiona and her mother Bibi, were allowed to share the same pool with him today and all showed the behaviors that the care team wanted to see.

“We had planned to just let Tucker explore the outdoors today and we wanted to introduce him to Bibi tomorrow and Fiona on Wednesday,” said Christina Gorsuch, animal care director at Cincinnati Zoo. “But Tucker seemed right at home at the pool, and the girls were talking inside to show their interest. So we followed their example and brought all three out together. “

The hippopotamus team observes interactions all day and is happy with how it went. The habitat was closed to the public for introduction but will reopen if things continue to go well. That can be today, tomorrow or later the next day. Updates will be posted on CincinnatiZoo.org and the zoo’s social channels.

Tucker came to Cincinnati from San Francisco earlier this month and has since grown used to his new surroundings.

“The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Hippo Species Survival Plan (SSP) recommended that Tucker move to Cincinnati to be Bibi’s companion and enjoy being part of a hippo group. If there is a baby in their future, it will be a long time before that happens, ”said Gorsuch. “At the moment, all three hippos seem to have made positive social connections.”

While hippos are not considered endangered, they share ecosystems with many endangered species, including elephants and rhinos. As an indicator species, the plight of the hippopotamus can provide information about the challenges other species are facing in their homeland. Addressing problems at the ecosystem level will help the other species that live in the same regions.

Vanessa Miller, originally from Cincinnati, came on board at the 21c Museum Hotel in the fall of more than a decade in restaurant positions in Massachusetts and New York as head chef at the downtown Metropole.

Chef Miller’s late summer menu offers plenty of temptations, with more than half a dozen starters, four salads, three pastas, and seven main courses. Miller said this was the fifth or sixth menu under her supervision and had achieved what she was aiming for. This menu represents “well-executed food that is playful and fun without being overly fussy,” she said. “And it feels very much like now – like in late summer.”

What turned out to be our shared favorite dish of the meal came with the first course: cornmeal crusted calamari with pickled plums and radish sprouts ($ 12), which was one of our server’s suggestions when we wavered between it and a few other starters? . The squid itself was top notch, as fresh as possible, and the result of the quick frying resulted in a dish perfectly crisp and without a hint of fat.

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) El Paso plans to integrate pedestrian safety infrastructure into the popular Cincinnati entertainment district in West El Paso.

State Highway 20 or Mesa Street divides the area that many people from college students to local residents to party goers walk through every day.

“This was one of several locations that we think needs improvement,” said Jennifer Wright, a spokeswoman for TxDot El Paso.

Wright says TxDot is improving pedestrian infrastructure along Mesa and neighboring streets like Cincinnati, Baltimore, Cliff, and Boston.

Some of the improvements include:

SH 20 from Baltimore to Cincinnati

• Increased median
• Pedestrian railings along the center and curb line to direct traffic to the marked intersections
• Merging of the driveways to improve pedestrian friendliness on the north side
• Street lighting for zebra crossings in Baltimore and Cincinnati
• Realignment of the curb line to shorten the length of the pedestrian crossings along Baltimore

SH 20 near Boston and Cliff

• Pedestrian hybrid beacons with pedestrian protection on the median

“We know people come here to have a good time and we just want them to keep doing it,” Wright said.

Wright said there had been multiple accidents and fatalities in the area, possibly due to high speed and alcohol, but said the improvements should add even more safety.

“Hopefully this will add some attention-grabbing components that will make drivers in the area more aware,” Wright said.

The project is scheduled to start construction in about a month and will cost around $ 800,000.

Austin Allen, the owner of the Palomino Tavern and a member of the Uptown Parking Benefit District, said these improvements were long overdue.

“All vehicle and / or personal accidents that happen in the neighborhood are always like, oh my god, when is someone going to do something about it,” Allen said.

Allen said other infrastructure plans were also in the works to turn old alleys into safer passageways adorned with lights and murals.

“There’s a lot of foot traffic there because people go to Lost and Found and other places along Stanton and the idea is to make it easy on the eyes and do some cool things with it,” Allen said.

The money for the repair of the alleys comes from the parking meters in the area, which is used for security and infrastructure measures in the area.

Gambling revenue just continues to flow into Ohio Casino and Racino venues. The August 2021 reports are in, and in just one month after the winnings were paid out, the state has generated over $ 194 million in revenue. With that total, the state’s 11 gaming establishments now have nearly $ 1.6 billion in revenue. The state broke last August’s record of $ 172.1 million and posted a 12.9% increase in sales.

Breakdown of the sums

The top earner in the state was MGM Northfield Park. The venue raised $ 23.3 million. That was more than 20% more than last August. JACK Cleveland Casino generated just under $ 22 million, earning over 20% over the previous year. JACK Thistledown Racino earned $ 17 million, also over 20% better than the same month in 2020.

Each of the four Ohio casinos are allowed to offer poker games, slot machines, and table games. There are seven racinos in the state with facilities that offer skill games such as video lottery terminals. It seems that this year players are enjoying all the game options more than ever, possibly due to the easing of the COVID-19 logs as well as vaccinations.

Although August reached a new record, it did not exceed the values ​​for June and July. In June, the state made just over $ 196 million in profits, while July was even higher at $ 211.2 million.

2021 profit

As it hits new record highs every month, Ohio has generated nearly $ 1.6 billion in annual revenue. Part of the income goes to taxes and fees in the state. So far this year has been the top earner MGM Northfield Park. The casino has grossed over $ 183 million to date. Hollywood Casino Columbus is closely behind with a profit of $ 176.4 million.

Next up is JACK Cleveland Casino with a profit of $ 172 million, while Hollywood Casino Toledo brought in just over $ 163 million. Eldorado Gaming Scioto reported $ 156.9 million while Hard Rock Cincinnati Casino generated just over $ 149 million.

The casinos in the state have had a great year so far. Already at the beginning of 2021, the venues reported high revenues. In March, casinos grossed over $ 215 million, a huge year-over-year increase and previous records.

This year, the pent-up demand caused by the COVID-19 shutdown last year seems to be driving players to the gaming tables and slot machines. Players are better able and more willing to travel this year, which helps bring more revenue to the state. It will be interesting to see if the surge continues for the rest of the year.

CINCINNATI –

The Cincinnati Zoo has named its newest red panda cub.

Born on July 16, the zoo named its surprise arrival Shenmi, which means secret in Chinese.

Zoo officials say her nickname will be Mimi, and they expect Mimi to start exploring the outdoor garden sometime next month.

Mimi surprised her mother Lin, who had a miscarriage in May.

In 2015, zoo researchers were the first to accurately predict the date of birth of two boys born six days apart using a combination of ultrasound and hormone monitoring.

ABOVE VIDEO: The red panda at the Cincinnati Zoo gets an ultrasound

Through regular ultrasound examinations at super mom Lin, they found that she was pregnant in April this year, but unfortunately the pregnancy was lost in May.

Because red pandas are seasonal breeders, the team figured Lin wouldn’t give birth this year.

But then in July she did!

“To the best of my knowledge, Lin is the first documented case where a red panda loses its pregnancy and then another embryo comes and implants that same year,” said Dr. Erin Curry, reproductive physiologist with the Cincinnati Zoo CREW. “When ultrasound found she lost the pregnancy in May, there was no historical reason to continue doing ultrasounds this season.”

So accurate was the science, in fact, that when the zookeepers noticed Lin was gaining weight, they attributed it to other factors, such as her recent consumption of cicadas and mulberries.

Price Hill residents caught a glimpse of a truly wild sight on Wednesday night when five monkeys were reportedly seen in St. Joseph’s Cemetery.

The Cincinnati police responded to the situation around 10 p.m. on April 7, according to FOX 19. Police said they believe the monkeys may have escaped from a private collection. At 6:30 am on April 7, FOX 19 reporter Lauren Artino tweeted that officers were actively looking for the monkeys.

So far, CPD has not found any monkeys. Cemetery manager Bruce VanHook told The Enquirer that the “monkeys” may actually be wild turkeys that frequent the cemetery.

As some of you may know, the US gambling laws are complicated. They are governed by federal law and are therefore not illegal. However, each state can apply specific and unique laws on this matter.

Even if you can find a licensed online casino, it may be illegal in a certain state to play exactly on that website. Since the US gambling laws are very different, it is best to find out which casino providers are allowed and only play in your state. Various lists of online real money casinos in the United States are available to online gamblers and you can scroll through and choose a reliable website that will not get you in trouble. Such lists usually also contain license information or at least casino providers.

Now we’re going to take a deep look into Ohio law and online gambling activity in this particular state.

Offshore gambling is allowed

The US betting laws are the most complex there is. Ohio players, on the other hand, are allowed to play at online casino sites that are not located on US soil. It is safe to play this way as long as you are not a professional gamer. However, there are no rules that define you as a professional player.

4 brick and mortar casinos are available

Telling you that playing roulette or gambling in general is not very accurate here. The state has 4 real casinos known as Hollywood Casino Columbus, Jack Cincinnati Casino, Jack Cleveland Casino and also Hollywood Casino Toledo. Here you can play slots as well as table games. These are all Las Vegas style casinos so you can imagine the overall appeal and details. We can see a massive resemblance to gambling in LA laws and regulations, especially in this case scenario.

Racinos are legal and available too

The previous state gambling restrictions have been adapted and changed several times in the past. This means that players can now enjoy racinos. These are race tracks that you can also play slots on. Some of them may have a free bonus available. This is completely legal and there are no problems associated with it.

DFS is allowed

DFS stands for Daily Fantasy Sports and this type of betting is completely legal in the state. Keep in mind that an operator must be licensed to allow players and the license fee is around $ 10,000. On the other hand, there are no further fees that the operators have to pay to the state. And yes, all of the games and platforms here are available and supported.

Playing slots and a few other games is illegal

Playing slots, craps, or wagering on dog fights is illegal in Ohio. It is also illegal to play poker in unregulated poker rooms. This means that playing these games is not allowed in your home and you could be fined. There are places you can play these games and they are considered legal. This also means that office pools and similar types of wagering are not allowed on Ohio.

Different age limits apply

You can place most of the allowed bets by the age of 18. Yes, you can use spins at Racinos at this age and place bets on horse races. But you can play bingo when you are 16 years old. You must be at least 21 years of age to visit and play at a casino.

The last word

Yes, there are legal casinos in Ohio and you can play here. You can play other games as well. If you enjoy gambling online, you should do so on offshore sites. First, check out a review to see which website has the best advantages. Don’t forget the mandatory age limit, which has a huge impact on the overall experience and legality of the matter.
