COVINGTON, Ky. – Sunday is Father’s Day, and if you need help, a whole lot of Covington restaurants and small businesses are there for you.
Obviously we can’t advertise every special deal, but, for example: Lean Bodies LLC is offering a father-son workout special price, Braxton Brewing is rolling out some previous Dark Charge variants this weekend (“halfway to Dark C...
COVINGTON, Ky. – We survived this week, barely.
Assuming you did too, we want to give you some fun things to do this weekend in The Cov (after you catch up on your grass cutting).

Event to celebrate grand opening of dramatic riverfront space
COVINGTON, Ky. – The transformation of Covington’s riverfront was no small thing.
Under the careful direction of Prus Construction’s project manager, 500 cement mixers poured 4,000 cubic yards of concrete. Dump trucks unloaded 18 million pounds of riprap. And a vibratory hammer forced 1,400 linear feet o...
COVINGTON, Ky. – (Cue walk-up music. Maybe “Back in Black,” Gwen Stefani’s “Let Me Reintroduce Myself,” or “Back from the Dead.” … Then barge in doing the Conor McGregor strut … )

COVINGTON, Ky. – Last year we used this space to crack jokes about the odd-sounding names for Santa Claus around the world. This year, we’re mourning.
Bars and restaurants are now allowed to use up to 50 percent of their indoor seating capacity, and we strongly urge you to support them. We also hope you patronize Covington’s small retailers as you work down your Christmas...
COVINGTON, Ky. – Weekend in LoveTheCov has been on hiatus because we in good conscience couldn’t urge people to get out in public with COVID-19 numbers in Kentucky setting record after record.
We’re back – not because the threat is over, because it is not (although there are hopeful signs) – but because we’re trying to balance a range of needs that seem t...
COVINGTON, Ky. – Math. Tabulations.
If you’re like the rest of America, your primary source of entertainment right now is a 24/7 following of any news site giving a running account of The Count.

COVINGTON, Ky. – Halloween isn’t just taking a sharpened object to a harvested orange cultivar of a gourd or hoping your neighbor this year gives out more than Dum Dums and Tootsie Roll Minis (guilty!)
If you really want to expand your horizons, get on the Internet and start reading about Samhain, Allhallowtide, Totensonntag, Hop-tu-Naa, and Nos Galan Gaeaf.
But enough o...
COVINGTON, Ky. – So we typically publish this on Thursday evening, but … well … it didn’t happen. The good news is that there’s all sorts of things to do in The Cov this weekend, including a one-mile fun loop through a park this afternoon, an outdoor movie, a “Tiny” Concert, a 5K and live art.
