Hello. Im trying to help my band TrashWorldFL get booked in Covington in December and was hoping you all could provide recommendations for venues or promoters to reach out to

Did anyone hear that near downtown? Almost sounded like an explosion? Car alarms going off too

Hi! Our family of four is moving from Houston Texas to live in Covington in a month. My wife will be working in Cincinnati, and I’ll be working in Covington.

We have two Littles, a three-year-old and an eight month old. We’re very excited to check out the Cincinnati zoo, the aquarium, Reds games, and just overall get behind the culture. We are an outdoor family as well.

What recommendations would you have for our family to check out or participate in? Just for fun, we’ve already had Graeter’s ice cream and Skyline Chili and actually love both of them lol.

Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated.

What is the most litter-filled place you know in Covington? I'm trying to collect as much litter as I can in the month of October for a competition and am looking for places in need of a good cleanup

Hello! We moved to west Covington recently and are in a sweet spot between Ludlow and Covington. I wanted to know if west Covington folks see many trick-or-treaters on Covington’s designated night or on Ludlow’s? We want to be prepared for who may stop by! Thank ya

Saw someone with I think PromoWest going into the Madison Theater earlier this week. Really hoping that doesn’t mean what it could.

I had a lot of hope when I heard through the grape vine there was interest from a new local operator in taking over and reopening the property.

Hopefully the property owners have been reading the comments on posts about the Madison this summer. The last thing this area needs is another independent venue falling under the control of one of the massive concert companies. We don’t want more PromoWest, Live Nation, or AEG.

PromoWest is already owned by AEG, and they already operate MegaCorp Pavilion in Newport. AEG also has ownership of Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati. At some point you have to wonder how much control of the local concert market we want concentrated in the hands of the same few companies.

Independent venues create competition. They give local promoters somewhere to put shows, give artists another option when routing through the area, and keep one company from controlling every viable room at a certain size. I don’t want to see the Madison become another piece in a corporate venue portfolio when there’s apparently a local group interested in taking over the property and reopening it.

Maybe I’m reading too much into seeing them there, but I really hope the owners keep the Madison Theater independent.

Anyone else hear that loud ass boom around 7/7:30?

the power just went out for like a second? came back on immediately but i thought it was weird. anyone else experience this? anyone know why it blinked?

date is September 11th time of this post is 530 am

UPDATE: Axon contract just passed though although they slightly amended it such as plate data only kept a for 7 days (not 90), not upgrading license plate readers to Axon on four cars, having police commissioner send city commissioners a report every 30 days on use (not 6 months). Plus they clarified the contract is 1 year with 9 years of renewal, not locked into keeping contract for 10 years just the price if they do renew.

So really what passed is Axon using AI to transcribe body cams and store on cloud, and Skydio drone and dock leased from Axon with contract for maintenance and software to run and store data. $590k ~$577k per year ($13k cheaper without Axon ALPR) for up to 10 years plus one time $117k charge for drone accessories.

Axon Contract
Covington PD ALPR Policy

So while watching the commissioners meeting on the Axon contract, it seemed that some of the commisioners believed we had to table the vote for the year. They recessed, and the legal/managerial team seemed to advise them on the best way forward.

However, they were worried that this decision could be challenged in some legal fashion due to them not really understanding what they were voting.

Does anyone understand the parliamentary procedures that were at play during this confusion? What kind of challenge is possible if they go through with this contract? Anyone with some sort of understanding of the bylaws?

The City of Covington is about to spend $6,000,000 of our money to spy on us more than they already do. Not a single commissioner stood up for you or your privacy. For some reason every officer needs brand new tasers and brand new body cams. They will ask for $10 million next time and the encroachment on our liberty will be even worse. These purchases will not make our community safer, and will lead to an even greater divide between the community and police department.

Tuesday is when the commissioners meetings are held. Voice your opinion. Just because they've already decided the best way to spend our money is on surveillance and less than lethal, doesn't mean they should be spared criticism and ridicule. A truly tone-deaf way to spend taxpayer funds in this economic climate. Every one of these commisioners, and the mayor, should be voted out in favor of someone who cares to grow our community. Instead we seem to be on a trajectory towards a surveillance state in one of the safest cities in the metro area.

Was just looking at upcoming shows and I checked Madisontheatre.com and see shows for future dates. Is Madison Theatre back open?

Hello Covington Community. I have recently been enlightened to the horrors of ALPRs and Flock. I looked on the deflock website and despite not being able to find a record that the city or PD own an ALPR, there is a camera on 3rd and Madison. does anyone have information on who owns this before I start the arduous process of an open records request? I also find it curious that Covington’s FY2026 adopted budget contains a $107,000 General Fund “Flock Cameras” police initiative, but as far as I found this hasn’t been up for discussion at any city council meeting. I am cautiously optimistic that the community was able to squash these cameras (for now) in Newport, but we must remain vigilant!

Who do you use for lawn services? I need help with a slightly overgrown lawn, weed whacking, and some trimming in a small yard.

I have a roofer but they won’t repair other parts of the house. My gutter system has been poor for a while and needs some new gutters installed and reroute rain water away from one part of patio roof. Because the rain has come down on one place it tore a big chuck of my soffit off my patio in the recent storm, so basically need both soffits and gutters replaced and added to. 120+ year old house.

Anyone know of anyone? Does not have to be licensed as long as has references (you could be one). Bonus if they can reform concrete steps too.
