1. A Cincinnati artist has created a mural in Over-the-Rhine to honor his Palestinian heritage. The 50-foot mural of Jaffa oranges is on East Clifton Avenue. Palestinian artist Jason Yacoub Khaled Al Ghussein said, “There's a lot of history and meaning and significance to the Palestinian community. We all know what Jaffa oranges are and what they mean to us in our kind of individual history.” (Cincinnati CityBeat)
2. Delhi Township librarians have surprised a longtime patron for her 100th birthday this week. The staff at the branch wanted to honor her by signing a birthday card and making a sign. While they were coordinating the surprise with her daughter, the staff learned she has family visiting from Austria for her birthday. (WLWT Cincinnati)
