Ghost Signs of Northern Kentucky

 


Latonia, a neighborhood of Covington. 
Tim's closed down before the pandemic.
Note the details, like the Latonia sign, and the L&N locomotive. L&N stood for Louisville and Nashville.)


And directly across the street from Tim's was John's.

From Covington, we skip over to Newport:




The original sign for Newport's famed Green Derby has been uncovered as the tavern undergoes renovations.


(This one we've featured before.)

Back west, to Ludlow:



And then skipping back east to West Covington, for the piece de la resistance.




A cornerstone marks the building as erected in 1867, but we suspect the beer sign isn't that old.
We still can't tell what kind of beer was advertised at what is now the Playhouse Bar.
