On this edition of The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks, we are joined by Greg Hand, local historian, proprietor of Cincinnati Curiosities and contributor to Cincinnati Magazine. Among the interesting topics that we explore: the different times that a tunnel underneath the Ohio River between Covington and Cincinnati was seriously explored or suggested. We also discuss a period when Northern Kentucky was a destination for eloping couples.
Plus, LINK nky politics and government reporter Mark Payne is with us to talk about his rookie season covering the Kentucky General Assembly, how he embedded himself in Frankfort, and the stories that seemed to spark the most criticism not just at lawmakers – but at him and LINK.
Then we play an NKY history game with Greg Hand and Mark Payne.
