The Cincinnati Enquirer

Are you curious about a neighborhood or community issue where you live? Wondering about a construction project that suddenly popped up? A traffic issue that you think needs to be resolved? Or a gripe that you think local officials should address?

The Enquirer will get answers for you. Please send questions (with your name, address and phone number for verification) to Ask a Question, c/o Dave Hofmeister, The Cincinnati Enquirer, 7700 Service Center Drive, West Chester, OH 45069. You can also e-mail dhofmeister@enquirer.com or fax to 513-755-4150.

Here's an example:

There is a house on my street that has been unoccupied for years. It's in deplorable condition, and I think kids are hanging out there. I'm concerned about their safety. What can be done about this?

A selection of the best questions will be answered in a weekly column in the Metro section each Saturday.

Don't worry about whether the question sounds silly or unimportant.

Just ask.
