"COVINGTON IS HOT RIGHT NOW" WRITES CITYBEAT OF NEW EATERIES
Cincinnati's alternative weekly newspaper shows some love to three new Covington restaurants:
Wunderbar:
Wunderbar:
This former dive bar, close to the 12th Street exit off I-75, has a whole new air about it since they banned smoking and started serving very authentic, delicious German cuisine — and just about every morsel is made in-house. Homemade sausages, homebaked German pretzels and breads, even homemade mustards. It’s impressive.
Wolf & Co. Bistro:
...is in a quiet, mid-block location that doesn’t really jump out at you, but is worth finding. The staff is gregarious, and the food is impressive. My favorite was a cup of fresh pea and mint soup topped with a dollop of freshly made ricotta cheese that could have been served in a five-star restaurant. Fresh, creative and just perfect.
Whackburger:
This burger joint promises fresh ingredients and interesting menu options, including turkey burgers and black bean burgers, with toppings like jalapeño peppers with grilled onions and mustard sauce, or fried green tomatoes with pepperjack. Much anticipated, especially by concertgoers from the Madison Theatre across the street, they’ve had a few unforeseen delays. Looking in the window, though, the space is finished. They may be whacking burgers before this edition hits the newsstands.
Whackburger will in fact be whacking burgers - TONIGHT starting at 5:00PM. See you there?

RICHIE FARMER FORCED TO PUT HOME UP FOR SALE
The downward spiral continues for the former UK basketball player and former Commissioner of Agriculture:
First National Bank of Manchester filed a foreclosure suit last month in Franklin Circuit Court against Farmer and his wife, Rebecca Farmer. She filed for divorce in April 2011. The divorce case has not been finalized, but Rebecca Farmer's attorney, Brian Logan, told The Courier-Journal last month that Richie Farmer has agreed to be responsible for making the mortgage payments.Herald-Leader/Jack Brammer

ENQUIRER INVESTIGATION ON CINCINNATI STREETCAR PROJECT
Companies that bid on the massive project are suing to keep those records sealed:
Two losing bidders – Brookville Equipment Corp. of Pennsylvania and United Streetcar of Oregon – have asked the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court for a temporary restraining order preventing City Hall from releasing the records to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Public disclosure of the bids, the companies argue, would expose trade secrets and place the companies at a competitive disadvantage in the future. The firm selected, CAF USA, also wrote a letter this week to City Hall objecting to the release of an unedited version of its bid.Cincinnati Enquirer/Barry M. Horstman

LAWYER/RADIO HOST ERIC DETERS PROMISES TO BE BACK
He is suspended from practicing law in both Kentucky and Ohio, but the Bulldog says he'll be back:
It is public knowledge I have challenged the constitutionality of a rule before the Supreme Court related to my bar matter on due process grounds. This is the rule allowing Bar Counsel to object to my automatic reinstatement which was scheduled for April 25. I remain confident of victory in this matter. My application for reinstatement is the first of its kind based upon reasons I won’t disclose. Based on what I know about my facts, my case and the law involved, I’m optimistic and confident the Supreme Court will give me justice by granting my reinstatement. They will have to change the law to do it, but as our highest court, the Supreme Court does this all the time.Law Reader

NKY CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE BILL ADKINS ON FAIR PAY VOTE
The Democrat seeking to represent NKY in Congress blasts Republicans in the US Senate, all of whom voted against the equal pay legislation:
“It’s hard to believe in 2012 we are still talking about equal pay for American women,” says Bill Adkins. “My six daughters and granddaughter deserve an America that doesn’t discriminate against women because of their gender. There is absolutely no reason to vote against equal pay legislation. Those who voted against the legislation did so for purely cynical political reasons. This is why so many Americans have lost faith in Congress. Protection for women and children used to be bipartisan.”Bill Adkins
