Ohio River Barge Traffic Edition!

A Beautiful day in Greater Cincinnati.

I've been hearing a lot about the Mississippi River being so low because of the drought of 2012, that it's been restricting river barge traffic on it. Of course I don't live along the Mississippi river, but I do live very close to the Mighty Ohio River! I wanted to see if the drought had any effect on the Ohio. What a better place to observe the river barge traffic than from Hooter's of Newport Kentucky. It was a splendid day for lunch outside. Last night a cold front passes through, cooling things off just enough to enjoy a wonderful lunch outside on the deck at Newport Hooter's. I have to tell you, I didn't see any barges going up or down the river. Could it be a coincidence? Or could it be I really didn't care about the river traffic and just needed an excuse to enjoy my lunch outside?

Not a Barge in sight!

The lunch specials are always reasonably priced at Hooter's. Of course they are nothing fancy, which is fine. I had the buffalo shrimp with fries. Glenn and Willie had some chicken. Our server Megan was most pleasent. Which is not to say that any servers there are not. She was most concerned about the foam on the pitchers of Sam Adams. It was commendable. We wish her well in her academic pursuits of nursing. A fine profession.

Megan took care of the foam!

I have a confession to make. It was such nice day, we didn't didn't want to come back to work!

Special Deluxe Double Happy Hour Edition @ Newport Hooters

I know I'm a tad late with this post, but the past week has been very activity filled to say the least. This past Monday July 2nd and Thursday July 5th brought myself and some family members to Newport Hooters. On Monday after a fantastic round of golf at The Coldstream Country Club, saw myself, cousin, nephew and brother in law at Newport Hooters for Happy Hour. It was my nephew's "birthday" by the way!

Tim's "Birthday"!

Coldstream was Awesome!

Having a beer is great anytime but after a great day of golf is even better. Especially when your cousin works at a Country Club and allows us to play for free!

"Yes Jill, I'll have another!"

Now if only the beer were free! I know don't get greedy! Anyway I haven't been to Hooter's other than for lunch in quite awhile. So the happy hour prices were very welcome. I did have a buy 10 get 10 free wings coupon that I let Tim enjoy. So that was a another bonus.

So if you want to cap off a great afternoon of free golf, I definitely recommend Newport Hooter's Happy Hour. You cant beat the company.

Or the views!

It's after work. It's been hot all day. Where do you go before a casual rocking jam session? Well I'll tell you. You head on over to the Newport Hooters on Military Dress up day!
