A NIGHTMARE VIEW IN BOTANY HILLS/IS IT TIME TO TOW MIKE FINK?
The River City News has heard from multiple residents in Botany Hills that the Bernstein family's placement of the USS Nightmare across the river for the next year dampens the peaceful view of the western North Bank. Of course, residents of Licking Riverside have had their view obstructed by the abandoned Mike Fink Restaurant (which still claims to be closed for renovations and is owned by the same family, the Bernsteins). What? Is the Ohio River now a junkyard for their old boats? Our cars parked on the street this long would result in a ticket and then a tow. What do you think? Time to tow the Mike Fink?
PHOTOS FROM USS NIGHTMARE BEING MOVED:
The people who own the USS Nightmare & the Mike Fink also own & operate BB Riverboats, a fine local business that used to be in Covington but is now in Newport. Why let them operate a business in Newport while leaving their junkyard boat the Mike Fink in one of Covington's most frequently visited neighborhoods? Tow it!

GREAT VIDEO OF COVINGTON'S SIGNATURE PIECE OF NEW ARCHITECTURE
A new follower of The RC News on Twitter owns the video company that produced this video of the Ascent. It's a pretty great production & tour (well, maybe the 1980s "Loveboat" music at the beginning isn't great) and well worth the time to watch it:
