The sounds of live music have become part of downtown Loveland's identity, drawing visitors to restaurants, bars and entertainment venues throughout the year. But for some residents living near the city's entertainment district, those same sounds have become an ongoing source of frustration. In recent weeks, complaints about loud music from downtown establishments have moved from neighborhood conversations to City Hall, where both the Loveland City Council and the Law and Ord

Warren County officials have approved a significant change to how the county collects tax revenue, offering property tax relief to homeowners while temporarily increasing the county sales tax. For Loveland residents who live in Warren County, the move could lower annual property tax bills but increase the cost of everyday purchases. The Warren County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to increase the county sales tax by one-half of one cent for one year, with the increa

Residents across Loveland and the surrounding area are enduring the hottest stretch of the summer so far, with temperatures climbing into the 90s and heat index values approaching or exceeding 100 degrees throughout much of the week. While relief may be on the horizon, forecasters say it could arrive in the form of strong thunderstorms over the Independence Day weekend. Why Has It Been So Hot? The current heat wave is being driven by a large area of high pressure, often refer

By SOHANI GAUNIYAL For The Loveland Daily Everyone drinks water. But, for a number of towns around Ohio, this basic need has become a nightmare as city governments grapple with both the presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the water and the nebulous upcoming regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency meant to contain them. In 2020 Ohio EPA testing revealed the presence of PFAS in Loveland’s drinking water. The city suddenly found itself grap

The arrival of warm weather sets Loveland buzzing with activity, and no place is busier than the hub of activity at Loveland Paddlesports. Set on the banks of the Little Miami River, in the heart of historic downtown, Loveland Paddlesports (formerly Loveland Canoe & Kayak) has become a Loveland institution – owned and operated by the Bersani family.

Much like dandelions and weeds, springtime brings roadwork. This spring is no different. Two projects begin on June 1st and will last until approximately August 1st.

A proposed ordinance that would exempt city projects from review by an unknown number of committees or commissions has been tabled by Loveland City Council, delaying any final vote on the controversial measure. The legislation was to receive a first reading and was expected to return for further consideration.

Loveland-Madeira Rd. April 29th Drivers across Loveland were met with sticker shock Wednesday as gas prices surged within hours—climbing from around $4.30 per gallon in the morning to nearly $5.00 by evening at some stations. While the sudden increase may feel abrupt, experts say it’s the result of several overlapping factors creating a “perfect storm” for fuel prices, both globally and here in Ohio. At the center of the spike is instability in global oil markets. Rising tens

According to the bill, the Frogman is described as “a frog-like, bipedal creature standing approximately four feet tall,” a nod to the long-standing folklore rooted right here in Loveland.

Recent interest in development of the area adjacent to Nisbet Park brought to the forefront concerns over the potential loss of character provided by this small neighborhood section of historic downtown Loveland. While small, this area provides an important transition between the bustling business districts of Loveland Avenue and the nature environment of Nisbet Park and the bike path. Perhaps more importantly, this neighborhood embodies the quiet charm of Loveland’s past. Ov

nasa.gov While millions of people watched NASA’s Artemis II mission light up the sky, few may have realized that critical components of that rocket were built just a short drive from Loveland. At a facility in Mason, engineers and technicians with L3Harris Technologies have spent years helping design and produce avionics systems—the “brains” of the rocket—that played a central role in getting the mission off the ground safely. According to Jake Hendrickson, Space Avionics Ch

Michelle Wysong is a retired biology teacher with a most interesting and noble hobby: raising monarch butterflies. More accurately, she incubates them from egg to butterfly in her home each year during their migration. Most of us are familiar with the concerning decline in the population of monarch butterflies; maybe you’ve seen promotions for planting milkweed as a means of supporting monarch survival. Wysong takes the support effort to a new level. The whole incubation pr
