AND WHILE YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT...
...be sure to shop at your local Covington retailers. That's how you keep and build businesses in the urban core. Stay out of Target and Walmart and other big box national chains that soak up local dollars and ship them elsewhere. Local businesses reinvest in the community and create meaningful jobs for you and your neighbors. It's the only way cities like Covington survive. Remember, Downtown Covington was the original outdoor shopping mall.
