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...
COVINGTON, Ky. – Cinco de Mayo is Friday and that means you’ll find good tequila sips around The Cov (we’ve named a few that we found).
Then, shift your libations to bourbon, because the mint juleps are going to be flowing with the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday … but you already knew that.
Then there’s the Flying Pig Marathon, but unless you&r...
COVINGTON, Ky. – This is tax weekend, courtesy of the Eye Are Ess, but we’re assuming you’ve already filed your 1040 and hopefully got back some coin.
That means money to play.
Plus, Lent is over, which means you’re back doing whatever it is that you gave up for those 40 days, like … (fill in the blank).
Perfect.
Venture out in The Cov this weekend, where...
COVINGTON, Ky. – Sunday’s the Super Bowl and Tuesday is Valentine’s Day, but you already knew that. You also already knew that there are plenty of places to celebrate both in The Cov.
You’re on your own for the game (but really, is it worth watching now that the local team ain’t in it?).
But we do have ideas to wow your partner. The Cov boasts all sorts of fancy...
COVINGTON, Ky. – February is Black History Month, so before you go about pairing beer with Girl Scout cookies, dressing up for a Gala Maskenball, attending a musical or live music, be sure to brush up on some things you might not know about.
Here in The Cov, we have both a Covington Black History Tour full of fascinating stops and history and a month-long reading assignment that will help...
COVINGTON, Ky. – So here we are at the end of “Dead Week,” those days between Christmas and the New Year when – having worn every pair of gifted socks, polished off two entire tins of homemade cookies, and watched four Hallmark movies (well, actually, they really were the same movie) – one can feel as if we’re all limping through a big, yawning empty space in ti...
