  2. The west side is rough

     

    Not really, several generations of my family have been born and raised there and you be hard pressed to find anyone that would call us "rough". It's not the best neighborhood in the world or anything but it isn't what I'd call rough, but we will have to agree to disagree since you didn't answer the question and only repeated your statement.

  3. It's according what part of Newport you are talking. The Westside and historic areas are fine.

     

    The east side is very bad . I'm guessing they were using per capita numbers. So by percentages the bad neighborhoods of the east side of Newport make up a larger percentage than the bad neighborhoods of Covington do on the overall population.

     

    What is really bad about the west side of Newport? I spent the first 14 years of my life growing up near 10th and Brighton and never saw anything really bad. I still have a great aunt that lives in the neighborhood with no complaints. I get that they aren't the highest income level folks and a lot are transplants from appaliachia but "really bad" isn't how I would describe it.

     

    Covington seems way worse to me. It seems to have many more murders, drug dealing, drive by shootings, etc..

  4. Tidbit on Luebbers. He threw for St Henry back in 88' and I remember he could bring the gas. We actually beat him at the Bellevue Vets my Jr yr, his Sr. 4-1 and Nick Berkley outdueled him. I also remember when he made his MLB debut for the Reds. I was in Hilton Head on vacation and he threw against the Cubs in a day game at Wrigley. I remember watching it on WGN.

     

    He also hurt his arm and was not planning on playing baseball after high school. He only tried out as a walk on for UK because his roommate was doing so. He told me he had to borrow a glove for tryouts. I guess the rest is history. I used to work with him and would text him when I noticed that ESPN classic was airing a game that he is famous (Infamous) for. He was the starter for Mark Whiten's MLB record 12 rbi game in 1993. Larry is a pretty good guy and good humored about it.:lol2:

  5. It doesn't matter who is the most mature. The only thing that matters is who can play. Unless Stoops is an idiot he will play the one that can play the best. I know Towles hasn't exactly set the world on fire.....that should speak volumes about Barker's ability or at least what he is showing in practice.

  6. Since you've tried everything the responsible way, I'd start moving down from there. I bet if everytime the dog did his business in your yard, you shovel it up and pile it right in front of their front door it will eventually stop. It may take a few days of diligence on your part but since the obvious reason that your neighbor is having him do his business in your yard is so they don't have to pick it up, I bet a few days of picking it up will correct the issue.

    I had a similar problem with a neighbor of mine that let his dog run loose. It was a nice 100lb chocolate lab that was friendly as could be. He did however like to leave 2lb land mines in my yard two or three times a day. I talked to the neighbors, they apologized but eventually it continued to happen. I started going out with a shovel, scooping it and flinging it into their yard, porch, etc. They got the hint and now have an invisible fence.
