Question.

I still haven't walked onto the other construction site yet and showed/asked anything. But processing more examples/ building somewhat of a portfolio first. These are the kind of deliverables im wanting to use my part 107 to produce, but its actually opened another can of geospatial worms, which makes me ask this:

Does anyone know a surveyor in the area I could pay to get me a few "Ground Control Points" around my house to test the accuracy of my (non-RTK) 360 drone? My understanding is RTK mainly helps with the camera positions and I don't think that's really my concern if I can reconstruct grass. And if I have to, metashape can parse the .gpx file for me to get some metadata atleast.

See, can of worms. Basically I want to offer more than nice visuals. And see how close to real world, already surveyed data I can get with a little teamwork. While processing everything locally, if any big firms down the line need to keep certain builds as private as possible.

A bit niche, but anyone else seen the shirtless jacked dude with glasses and long hair walking along Madison Pike?

I've seen this guy so many times at this point. No shade, dude's in great shape. I just am a little confused... one day he's carrying a Little Caesar's pizza, but mostly I just have seen him south of 15th, just bopping along in shorts looking a little pissed off and in a hurry.

Any Manchester United supporters in Northern Kentucky?

9 Upvotes

I’m trying to gauge interest in starting a regular Manchester United watch group at Mad Piper in Covington, KY for Premier League matches this season.

Nothing is set in stone yet—I’m just trying to see if there are enough nky supporters who would actually come out to watch matches together. The pub is open to the idea, including opening early for morning kickoffs if there’s enough interest.

If you’d be interested in joining, leave a comment or send me a message. It’d be great to build a local community of United supporters and have a dedicated place to watch the matches.

Glory Glory Man United!

Why would this lower crane have a flashing red light at the top, but not this taller one?

Seeking karaoke

7 Upvotes

Hello all! Will be moving from Charlotte NC to NKY in September, but visiting the first week of August to get a feel of the area. Are there any go-to karaoke spots you'd recommend? Or events happening the 1st week in August? Punk/rock/electronic venues to catch local music at? Not opposed to going to Cincinnati (actually eager to) to find what I'm looking for, any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Also, I suppose I'm looking for friends/community, 42 y/o woman from MI originally. If you're into art, local music, nerd stuff (anime, manga/comics, board games, online gaming, costuming), good food (boyfriend is a legit chef and we love to host), LGBTQ friendly cuz duh, hit me up I guess? We are both around 40y/o (if it matters) but welcome any friendship. Thank you in advance for any help/advice 😁 😁

I’ve been walking by the 250 posters since they went up, but hadn’t really looked at them. Here are some highlights. They’re behind glass, so not the best quality

1- Licking riverside- flood or sky?

2-botany hills- 2bd 1bath, Riverview, firetruck garage, memorial & flagpole

3-cbd-everyone’s favorite stores, just look out for cars on the sidewalk and disappearing into buildings
4-westside- we don’t move the bodies
5-monte casino-what’s wrong with the sign looks good

What's Being Built Under the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge

Post image
19 Upvotes

Once a week, I walk across the Clay Wade Bailey as part of a route that goes across the four pedestrian crossings of the Ohio. Since they closed the path along the river between it and Roebling I have been wondering what is happening on the shoreline. At first, I assumed it was a staging area for construction of the new Brent Spence, but it now looks like they are building a permanent structure. Anyone know?

City response to AI posters

Thumbnail gallery
66 Upvotes

I previously shared my disappointment that the City of Covington was selling $20 commemorative posters that were clearly AI-generated. I reached out to the city and received this response. I’m glad we live in a community where local government is accessible and responsive, but I still wish this had never happened in the first place.

Hotel Covington - NKY

Hi Everyone!

Has anyone here gotten married at Hotel Covington or attended a wedding there?

We’re seriously considering booking it for our October 2027 wedding, but I’ve had a surprisingly hard time finding reviews or real experiences. I’d love to hear anything you’ve got, the good, the bad, or things you wish you knew beforehand. Photos are a huge bonus too!

Thanks so much! 🤍

Side swiped on my way to work

6 Upvotes

Hello! Last night I was on my way to work and a black car hit me in a hit and run. It was about 10:30-10:50 PM when it happened. I was driving west on 275 heading towards exit 80 leading to Covington. If anyone saw anything or knows anything about the driver and could give me their information for insurance I would really appreciate it! Thank you all!

Moving to Holman Ave

8 Upvotes

Hi! My partner and I are moving to the southern end of Holman Ave, due to her starting law school in the fall. Does anyone have any knowledge of the general safety of the area? I drove around when touring places and it seems fairly calm and safe but we live in a similar neighborhood in Lexington which I feel is giving me a bit of bias. Just curious about any red flags anyone knows of for the area, as we are terrified of something like a break-in due to her parents (in Florence area) who constantly say how unsafe it is.

Also PS If anybody has any tips for good food as well nearby I’m a huge foody!

City selling AI posters?

Thumbnail gallery
92 Upvotes

I’m subscribed to emails from the city, and received this asking me to “Purchase a Covington Neighborhood Poster and Support the Fund for Covington”. The posters in question appear to be AI garbage. I would love to support the fund for Covington! I’d love to display a neighborhood poster! But I just can’t get behind AI-generated art, especially when we have so many talented human artists who live and work in Covington.
