DEAR OMNICARE, KARMA IS A YOU-KNOW-WHAT
Is it wrong that I relish the possibility that Omnicare could shell out hundreds of millions of dollars for more wrong-doing? Nope. But what is wrong, is that this awful, terrible, thieveing, corporate welfare queen is still eligible for tax breaks from any government entity. Read this story and know that Covington is better off without these jerks on our side of the river.

The message from the owners:
Dear Friends of the Knotty Pine,|
We have some news that we would like to share with you; our Friends and Customers. As you know, part of the charm of the Knotty Pine on the Bayou is our lovely, historic building. Unfortunately as time goes on, we have experienced some changes that go beyond our "slightly" tilting floors. We hired a reputable engineering firm to help us reinforce our home, and work was under way, but unfortunately we have come to the difficult decision that the best course of action is to close our location on Licking Pike. This closing will NOT be permanent! We are actively looking for a new space in which to re-open Knotty Pine on the Bayou, and we are going to be back in business as quickly as possible. We will keep you posted through this period of transition, and we THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your love and support over our 17 years. We are so looking forward to welcoming you to our new home. Please stay tuned... PEACE, LOVE & CRAWFISH

CLOONEY MOVIE SHOT IN COVINGTON TOPS OUT AT $38 MILLION
"The Ides of March", the political thriller shot around here on both sides of the river, is on its way out of theaters to make room for Clooney's next picture, "The Descendants":
“Ides” played in only 696 theaters last weekend, a 50% drop from the previous week (1,391), according to boxofficemojo. It has earned an estimated $38,389,000 — not a very big amount in the movie world. (“Immortals” opened with $32 million last weekend.) More than a third of the “Ides” total came in the $10.4 million opening weekend, which nearly covered the costs for the $12-million film.Cincinnati Enquirer/John Kiesewetter
