It housed three different genres (alternative, a calypso beat bar and *maybe?* disco). I met my future wife there and I’d really like to remember the name for her).

There was 1 large club type of place, but Howl at the Moon used to pack them in. I do think<br />a new Waterfront Restaurant at the Landing will be successful. And I hope it happens as I have from the Burbs to Covington. Good stuff Ronny.

I have a million crazy stories of things I encountered down there. I remember my first night working security on the barge. It was winter, and freezing cold. After all of the shops closed, I would have to go down below, into the actual barge, and check that the bilge pumps were running because it was constantly taking on water. There was always about 6-12 inches of water down there. I remember several nights later, going down to check the pumps...at some point during the day, they had quit working and when I opened the hatch to go below, it was about half filled. After making the needed calls to get the problem fixed, I spent the rest of my shift on the shore.

But I didn't hold out much hope with the critter carcasses and the dirty, discarded underwear laying around.<br />I think that part of the Covington problem is that these places aren't as simple to get to as Newport for the non-residents. <br />I Love the Cov and would love to see these places come back and hopefully discourage some of the not-so-attractive things that have been going on.<br />But with the city's political turmoil, embezzlements, etc... I doubt that any of this will take precedence for a while.TrippyBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497642009881035509noreply@blogger.com
