The Globe in Covington
The Globe in Covington is a great little bar with a lot of pizzazz and fantastic cocktails. Before it was a trendy place to get a drink though The Globe was a little bit seedier. In fact, I can remember walking past this building as a young girl when it was a gentleman’s club called...
Dinner at Lisse in Covington

Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition
The kids (and adults) in our family love to play arcade games and pinball, but I’m not willing to break the bank to do so. To be honest with you, I’m not surprised to learn that other people think the same way, my friend included. That’s why he decides to download arcade roms when he...

Houdini’s Room Escape
Recently I was invited to visit Houdini’s Room Escape in Montgomery, Ohio. Until I received this email I did not know much about real life escape room games.
