Learning about traffic

Hello all; starting this summer I’ll be commuting on 75South from Galbraith Road down to Dixie Hwy in Fort Mitchell Kentucky. Just wanted to ask yall how bad the traffic is on 75 towards the Brent Spence as I rarely travel on 75 in Cincinnati.

Which Cincinnati ice cream shops are worth an hour's drive?

I live way out of town and recently made a solid hour's drive just to hit up Putz's Creamy Whip — and I have zero regrets. If you haven't been, it's one of those places that earns the trip every time.

It got me thinking: what other shops in the greater Cincinnati area are people genuinely driving for? Not just "it's pretty good," but the kind of place where the distance is part of the experience.

I've been putting together a list of Cincinnati-area ice cream spots for a while now and I'm always looking for the ones that have real cult followings outside their immediate neighborhood.

Drop your picks below — I want to know where you're willing to put miles on the car for a scoop.

Btw I didn't take this pic (too busy eating creamy whip), its from Putz's web site.

What jobs/trades in Cincinnati should I realistically be looking into over the next year?

I’m trying to figure out a realistic long-term career path around the Cincinnati/Southwest Ohio area and wanted opinions from people actually working in the trades or industries around here.

Background:

Currently work in security for a department of energy nuclear site and have an active Q clearance

Previously worked for the Scioto County Treasurer’s Office

Experience in logistics, operations, and physical/manual work

Comfortable with mechanical/technical work and learning new systems

What I’m looking for:

Trades or industries that can realistically become high paying within about 4 years

Jobs where I could become qualified through certifications, apprenticeships, union programs, tech school, or shorter-term classes rather than a full 4-year degree

Ideally jobs with good long-term demand and decent work/life balance

Open to industrial, utility, manufacturing, energy, mechanical, electrical, construction, etc.

I’d appreciate honest feedback on:

What industries are actually hiring around Cincinnati

What trades are realistically worth getting into in 2026

Which ones pay well without requiring constant travel

Any certifications/classes/apprenticeships you’d recommend starting with

Thanks!
