May 14, 201411 yr Nice! Next time, check out Mansion Hill in Newport and the tree-lined streets to the south (Overton, Monroe, etc.).
May 14, 201411 yr I like the focus of the commercial areas in this round. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 16, 201411 yr Lovely photos, thanks. I used to think it was a dead zone on the other side of the River but over the past year I have really come to appreciate Covington. Cincinnati is still my favorite city in Ohio but I'm increasingly warming up to Covington. I'm not as familiar with Newport but since both cities are connected in many ways with the Ohio side, I could see us living on the KY side someday. (now in Texas) South of the Roebling Bridge seems a little slower paced as well but it still has a fair share of historic architecture. Downtown Cincinnati would arguably be closer to Covington and Newport than many of its suburbs like Blue Ash or Norwood, or Sayler Park.
May 18, 201411 yr the pepper pod restaurant block is pretty cool, it has character. do you happen to know if all of it is the restaurant or just the small middle section?
May 19, 201411 yr It looks to me that the restaurant is the first floor of both the corner section and the middle section.
May 19, 201411 yr ^I believe that is correct. However, I've never seen that corner section actually in use.

Houses are historic, affordable, and small enough for an individual or couple to rehab on their own. This is in contrast to OTR, which has similar architecture on a larger scale, which makes rehab almost impossible for a homeowner to tackle without a hired crew.
