re: Spent the weekend in Covington

The mayor lived in a 800 square foot house on Tyler. Ernest Cooper was a good ol’ baw who had a velvet touch when it came to public service. Many a night we put him in a cab after he would leave the Green Onion bar and wander over to the old Spanish villa. The one with the mosaic tile swimming pool straight out of some Hollywood mansion from the 1930’s. It must have been something in its prime and held a ghost or two for Mayor Cooper.
