CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Two Cincinnati restaurants will be closed due to an error in paperwork that resulted in their liquor licences becoming expired.

Nicholson's on Walnut St. and The Pub At Rookwood Mews will both be closing due to an error that was made in filing necessary paperwork with the state of Ohio's Division of Liquor Control.

Nicholson's will still be open for lunch Monday-Friday 11am-3pm.

Both restaurants are expected to reacquire their liquor licences shortly. While both restaurants are closed, renovations are going to take place in both restaurants.

Good Guys Loitering out in Madsionville

MADISONVILLE, OH (FOX19) - Make sure to show your support on Thursday, August 26 for the Good Guys Loitering in Madisonville. The group will be out at the corner of Whetsel and Bramble Avenue from 4:00-6:30p.m.

If you're unfamiliar, Good Guy Loitering is just a bunch of neighbors and friends hanging out on a street corner that has struggled with bad behavior. They get there before the bad behavior usually starts and hang out long enough so that those folks have to make other plans for the evening. It's not confrontational (in part, because the "bad guys" never show up and there isn't anyone to confront). There are grandparents, children, and pets that sit with us.

MT. LOOKOUT, OH (FOX19) - Beginning on Wednesday, August 25 the International Space Station will once again be visable in the tri-state. The Cincinnati Observatory wants to alert the public about an email hoax claiming that the planet Mars will appear this week. Mars will not be close to us again until 2012.

The Space Station will look like an incredibly bright, unblinking star slowly moving west to east. No telescopes or binoculars are necessary for viewing.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - A Blue Ash police officer arrested for drunk driving earlier this month appeared in court Wednesday.

Jason Lobenthal was pulled over August 7 in the 3200 block of Erie Avenue in Hyde Park after police say he was swerving. He refused a Breathalyzer test.

He is also charged with menacing for an incident with a woman earlier in the day.

He had another pretrial set for Sept. 10. His attorney, Mike Allen, says they plan to take the case to trial.

Lobenthal also asked for his driving privileges to be reinstated. That request was denied.
