Once upon a time when driving across the bridge to enter Covington you could glimpse the magnificent estate of Clem Kelly.

Was this the bridge coming from Claiborne Hill or Madisonville?

I remember heading in on Hwy 21 there was a billboard for Foxhole on the left and the CHS Football State champions sign and the population sign (7,153?) on that side too but woods on both sides of the waterway.

From Claiborne Hill, they had the two gas stations owned by the Holden brothers (Pete and ?) and then Riverside Hotel on the downtown side. There was a CHS sign on that side too and the overpass there had a spray painted “CHS ‘64” on it.
