Anyone here know about a black truck thats really loud and has blue led's on it?

Pretty sure a group of guys in it was searching for my family after we went to a Say Anything concert on Friday and got a hotel in Covington. We aren't from the area by the way, we live in Dayton just north of you guys! :)

Election Night Watch Parties?

Hey y'all, I haven't seen much posted anywhere but I'd like to get out of the house this evening and watch election results somewhere. Are there any places locally that are hosting watch parties?

Please share if you can!!

Help us take Kindergarten students to the Aquarium!

PLEASEEEE SHAREEEE!!!!!

I moved from California to Cincinatti to be a part of a change, maybe a small one but a change nonetheless. I am proudly a Spanish Kindergarten teacher to an otherwise underserved population of low income families and latino migrant families. I wish to give them a great educational and memorable trip that they would likely not have if not for a field trip. PLEASE of you can donate just a little to this cause, it would would be appreciated a million and every dollar would go towards these precious students!! Down below I have attached the link ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

CBD Drinks at Covington bars

Is there a list of bars that serve CBD and other non-alcoholic drinks? I enjoyed this option at many of spots in Columbus. Wondering if it is a thing here, for people that just don't feel like boozin' but still want to go out and enjoy the nightlife.

What’s the story with Vieth Deli?

The corner store at 3rd and Garrard - I pass by it all the time and wonder what it was exactly, what happened to it, when did it close etc.

Sign-and-Go Wedding Officiant?

Good morning!

We are looking for a wedding officiant (outside of our friends and family) to just do a quick "sign-n-go" service for us. We're getting all the paperwork taken care of before the actual day :)

Any suggestions!? I've seen some people who do it in Cincinnati, but I'd prefer our home state.

TIA!

Planning on moving. Is Covington worth considering?

Hi all! I currently live in SC and it just doesn't feel like home anymore. My fiance and I both think a fresh start would be good for us so we're starting the process to save up for a big move. One of the areas we've considered is Covington. What can you tell me about the area? Do you like living there? What are the pros and cons of living there? Are the people friendly? Is the healthcare system good? I want the good, bad, and ugly.

A little bit about us that might help:

  • Both of us are in our early 30s
  • Both work from home
  • No children and no current plans to have children
  • No family or friends in the area
  • Generally homebodies but we do enjoy going out sometimes. Our favorite things to do are: have a couple drinks at a bar/brewery, walk around parks/downtown, attend concerts, go to festivals/faires, go to zoos/aquariums
  • Big foodies. We love trying new foods and places to eat
  • I'm chronically ill and disabled so access to quality healthcare is important
  • Looking to be homeowners not long term renters. Ideally we'd be able to find a home either before we move or shortly after

Thanks in advance!

Safety/walkability question

I'm going to be attending an event this month on the covington side of the John A Roebling suspension bridge. As a very rural life dude I can't help but be a bit anxious going to a city this size for the first time.

My questions are is the area generally safe to walk to grab a bite to eat or explore and is the bridge walkable to check out the cinci side or better off finding one of those rental scooters/driving?

Moving to Covington soon

How safe is the area? I'm going to be living on Main Street and just want to know if it's a good place. I heard that stuff gets stolen off porches but aside from that are the apartments safe?

Pearl Jam Comes To Indy in Two Weeks... Wanna go? It's an outdoor venue and the closest they will be to this area for a long time.

Strange there's no stops in CIN, CBUS, or CLE.

A Treatment Study for Borderline Personality Disorder

  • Do you experience sudden mood shifts?
  • Are there many ups and downs in your relationships?
  • Do you find yourself engaging in impulsive behaviors (e.g., overeating, substance use, self-injury)?

If so, researchers at the University of Kentucky are inviting you to participate in a treatment study on borderline personality disorder. Eligible participants will be provided cognitive behavioral therapy at no cost. In addition to attending therapy sessions, research participation will involve completing a diagnostic interview to confirm eligibility, attending 3 follow up interviews, and completing online questionnaires. All study visits may take place in-person or via Telehealth. Participants will be compensated for the completion of follow-up assessments.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • Meet criteria for borderline personality disorder following a study assessment
  • Are NOT using certain substances (e.g., opioids, methamphetamine)
  • Are 18 years or older
  • Live in Kentucky (visits are Telehealth, so anywhere in KY is fine)

To initiate participation, you can visit this information/screening link to determine if you meet initial study criteria: https://redcap.uky.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=NNTNJEYRKE7KCNMT.

Mosaic Neighborhood Signs

Curious if anyone knows the history of the mosaic neighborhood signs. Is that just something they thought was cool and did or was it a specific project? Just curious. I love them!

Tap Water?? What’s Up??

Does anyone else have their water occasionally smell like rotten eggs when they run their sink? Also, whenever I leave for a weekend my toilet will have some mold or maybe mineral deposits all around the bowl?

Anyone else relate or know anything about the water in covington?

were you at any Twenty One Pilots shows in 2008-2011?

Hello, I am on a team that's developing a wiki site about the band Twenty One Pilots. The team is gathering as much reliable information about the band as possible to include on the site. We are currently searching for info on their old performances and events, and we know that the band often performed across the US. We would like to ask, were you or do you know anyone who attended any of Twenty One Pilots’ shows in 2008-2011? If so, we would be very grateful if you tell us about it. Any info, photos or videos would be used in the development of the website. We would very much appreciate your help, and thank you for your understanding

Taxes in Covington

Hey all,

I'm most likely going to be relocating to Covington from Columbus for work, and I was wondering what the tax situation looks like. It seems that KY taxes and OH taxes are similar, except for KY vehicle registration which charges a percentage of the vehicle value. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are the taxes I'm expecting to pay every year:

  • 5% KY state income tax
  • 2.45% Covington local income tax
  • Vehicle registration taxes/fees
  • No property tax because I'll be renting

Anything else I should know about KY expenses? Thanks in advance!

Also, if any pilots in here are looking for someone to fly with / have airplane rental or cost-splitting suggestions or connections, I'm a PPL IR looking to fly out of LUK or one of the surrounding airports in southern Ohio / NKY once I move in June!
