I have mentioned on the site before about what I believe to be under counting of Fort Thomas residents (you can read it here and here) and now thanks to the tip from Paul Whalen you can track the submitted census forms from your neighbors. The Census Bureau has a website where you can track […]

Ice Cream is Back at Convenient
Great weather today in Fort Thomas and made all that much better by the fact that ice cream cones are back at convenient. Spring has sprung!

Neighborhoods in Fort Thomas
I don’t view Fort Thomas as having distinct neighborhoods but rather identifying as Fort Thomas residents in the broader sense. It is not as if Fort Thomas is a new outer ring neighborhood with new track home neighborhoods with stone walls at the entrance indicating the name of the community. Some common divisions do occur […]

A Little Football Madness in March
One of the bigger disappointments I had during my 4 years at Highlands was never winning the regional championship in soccer. Despite a top 5 ranking in both my junior and senior year, we never could get over the hump – losing to Covington Catholic in the finals both years. Don’t you just wish you […]

Why the YMCA Matters to Fort Thomas
Before I launch into my sales pitch for the YMCA I have to provide a short disclaimer. I spent 4 years working for the YMCA during college in Lexington and it was truly a great experience. Since I moved to Fort Thomas in 2004 I have also been a member of the Campbell County YMCA […]

Nixle Service Coming in Handy
In our “I-want-information-now, highly-caffeinated society,” Nixle (the service recently being used by Fort Thomas officials) is proving to be beneficial to how pertinent news travels. The burglaries that have occurred in Fort Thomas over previous months, have presumably come to an end as police believe they have the culprits. I haven’t see anything on the […]

Weekend Hot Links
Just wanted to link a nice piece written by Rich Shivener via Metromix Cincinnati. It’s basically about all of the city’s jewels that Ft. Thomas residents know all about already, but it’s good to see the good publicity that these businesses can bring to the community. Here’s hoping to visitors mingling with Ft. Thomasonians to […]

“Real” News
One of the themes that I try to incorporate in my posts are links to social networking sites. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Nixle, etc. have evolved from gimmicky, pass-the-time- websites to legitimate ways to connect, market, and break news. As a Journalism major, I came to the harsh realization that my dream of taking over […]
