COVINGTON, Ky. – January exits and February enters with good entertainment.
From a new musical opening at The Carnegie tomorrow to a lineup of incredible local talent delivering Bob Dylan tunes for a good cause on Sunday (and all the good stuff happening in between), this is a great weekend to get out and take in seriously good fun in The Cov.
The land of green eggs and ham
Does the...
COVINGTON, Ky. – This weekend offers you a cool literary reading that will serve up soup beans and cornbread while you listen to stories … a workshop that shows you how to manifest your perfect life … bingo with cats … live music and more. (Pretty sure we got your attention with “soup beans and cornbread.”)
Big narratives from small towns
If you’r...
COVINGTON, Ky. – The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fiasco is mercifully over, most deer hunters are home from the woods, and the Bengals are running out of hope. But keep the faith: High school basketball is about to kick off (Covington schools have won state champions in both girls and boys hoops in the last 15 years), and Thursday – tomorrow – is Thanksgiving.
Assuming your belly...
COVINGTON, Ky. – You’ll find a wide range of ways to unwind and have fun in The Cov this weekend.
That’s a good thing, considering you’ll likely spend wearisome hours in the kitchen next week preparing the perfect meal to serve your extended family, when they travel from afar to sit down at your table for the annual eating of turkey and pumpkin pie and the spewing of div...
CAPTIONS:
One: Frank Duveneck’s former home lacks siding on its north side.
Two: The attic floor is giving way, while gaps in the siding and missing window glass leave the attic open to rain and wind.
Three: The hole in the foundation has gotten significantly worse since this 2022 photo.
Four: Rudimentary bracing props up the interior wall on the south side, as seen in the dimly ...
COVINGTON, Ky. – It’s hot … summer break is winding down for parents of school-age children (thank goodness) … political campaigns are shifting into Ludicrous Speed (points for the Spaceballs reference) … and the Olympics Games has us all thinking we know more (and can do more) than we actually do (and can). You know, glory days (more points, a la The Boss).
But...
COVINGTON, Ky. – You COULD spend this weekend searching for Kate Middleton … sleuthing out the identity of mac n cheese billboard guy … and building a fall-out shelter and studying zombies as prep for April’s end-of-the-world total eclipse.
Or you could watch a lot (A LOT) of hoops at a Covington bar, make your kids’ day by taking them to various Easter egg ...
COVINGTON, Ky. – It's about to get cold. Really cold.
So at first blush we’re inclined to suggest you spend the weekend cutting firewood, stuffing more insulation in the walls, and darning those old wool socks before pouring some bourbon or Covington-brewed beer and curling up with a book.
But that would be a disservice to you AND to our businesses in The Cov, because there&r...
COVINGTON, Ky. – If 2023 was great for you, then resolve to keep that momentum going and make 2024 even better. If that WASN’T the case, you know what to do: Break with those bad ties that keep dragging you down, make better decisions (and fix the bad ones you’ve already made), get your priorities straight, vow to do and be better (“Be Best!”), work smarter not harder...
