CINCINNATI, Ohio—The cleanup is underway in many cities across Ohio from a weekend of protests. In Cincinnati, a curfew downtown and in the OTR neighborhood pushed the problems into Clifton- close to the University of Cincinnati’s campus.

Adriatico’s is just one of many businesses that was damaged Saturday night on McMillan Street in Clifton. The general manager here tells me he’s so glad they closed early because typically they’re open until midnight on Saturday nights.

That’s because a rock was thrown through this window around midnight Saturday. The general manager said several people called him overnight to break the news.

“I mean it’s sad to hear it happen," Mike Jacques the general manager of Adriatico's said. "Like I said, I totally understand why the protests are going on, sympathize with them really.But really concerned for everyone’s safety more than anything.”

The protests moved to the area once the curfew in downtown and OTR hit at 10 o’clock, which is why a new curfew has been put in place for the entire city of Cincinnati for both Sunday and Monday night. UC students that live in apartments above some of these businesses say it was a scary scene to see from their window.

“I feel frustrated because I feel like all the protesters at least on my block were doing, were trying to speak and get their voices heard and I didn’t feel as though there was a lot of listening happening form authority," Jack Brewer a senior at UC said.

Cincinnati Police say they arrested 110 people Saturday night into Sunday morning, many for breaking the curfew. Some UC students say they hope progress is made from these protests.

“It’s sad the world has come to this, but something needs to be done," Leo Carmody a junior at UC said. "And if this is what it takes, then I think we need to keep fighting, we need to keep loving on each other and sticking together through all of this no matter race or anything that happens because we’re all one world and one community, especially here at UC.”

Over half a dozen businesses were damaged, while many others are still boarding up their windows in anticipation of more protests in the area. Adriatico’s employees say they haven’t decided if that’s what they’ll do, but they hope protesters and community members understand just how much they’re struggling right now.

“I’m sure everyone can imagine, first the pandemic and now this, it’s made it really hard for small businesses," Jacques said. "But we’re doing the best we can and trying to prioritize obviously safety. But trying to do the best we can to be supportive of the neighborhood.”

Business owners say that they hope that this new curfew that extends throughout the entire city of Cincinnati will keep people from damaging their businesses.
