COVINGTON, Ky. – Some 245 years ago come Sunday, 56 courageous men signed a document making it adamantly clear that they, their families, and their neighbors had no intention of living under the overbearing rule of the British Empire an ocean way.

 

We all know what happened next.

 

This weekend, before you grill hamburgers, swim or shoot off fireworks, it’s worth reading that document: http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/

 

… which is to say, City Hall will be closed on Monday, the federal celebration of the 4^th of July holiday. We will reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
