Northern Kentucky News Updates

Back from Hilton Head today, and so far the score is weather- 2, travelers- zero. I come back to this mess and my friend Ann has been stuck in Green Bay all afternoon, after being re-routed from Milwaukee. April snow? Count your blessings, Northern Kentuckians!

New Northern Kentucky news happening while I was out of town:

  • Toyota Boshoku America’s North American home office is moving to Erlanger, bringing 100 new jobs to the region. Side note: Ever been to Jo-An’s? I had some excellent sushi in SC but Jo-An’s is amazing, too.
  • Ways to combat the Brent Spence bridge commute problem are still being bandied about at the Post. Side Note: They'll need to re-do the Clay Wade Bailey in a couple of years. It's filled with commuters cutting across to get on the Brent Spence from downtown every day.
  • More condos and more development planned for Newport on the Levee and the surrounding areas. Side note: Do we really need to build another mall on top of that mall?

That’s about it, really. Good week to be out of town.


Things to do Really Soon in Northern Kentucky / In the Not to Be Missed Category:

  1. Democratic candidates for governor debate high school students at the Campbell County High School auditorium in Alexandria tomorrow at 6 pm.
  2. Saturday May 5th, Southgate House has a bunch of great bands doing a Native American Indian Benefit.
