Bars In Kentucky Close At 2:30 AM

As I noted in my most recent post, I am taking a Thanksgiving blogging break. Of course, my commitment to the blog reading public is such that even when on a blogging break, I’m still serving you the reader.

My most recent service to blog readers came just this morning when I learned that bars in Kentucky close at 2:30 AM. I was at a bar in Newport, Kentucky—the famous Southgate House— and at 2 AM two large guys came around and shouted we had half an hour left. At 2:30 we were all out the door.

It sure was cold in Newport, Kentucky today at 2:30 AM.

The 24 hour White Castle near the Southgate House is, indeed, open 24 hours. Even after the bars close the White Castle is open.

I’m using the time on my Thanksgiving Blogging break for discovery and greater connectedness with our world. Today I’ve discovered and connected with the fact that bars in Kentucky close at 2:30 AM.

Knowing this, I am more at one with others and myself. ( I had been feeling divided.)

This evening I will explore a bar on the Cincinnati side of the Ohio River. What will I learn about myself and our world?

HA! I LOVE THIS POST!!!!

Yes, bars close early up here. I was out until 1:30am last night.

But not to White Castle

In Louisville, Lexington and Bowling Green (at least) closing time is 4 AM. On one very special Saturday night every year closing time feels like five.

and I miss White Castle like you wouldn’t believe.

Queer Cincinnati—Only 1:30? You’re slipping.

Stan—4 AM! That’s late! You could almost see the sunrise from the bar.

Thanks for both comments.

Welcome To Texas Liberal

Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.

My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.

I can be reached at naa618@att.net.

Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.

( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)

The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.

Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.

I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.

I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.

I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.

This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.

A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.

Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.

I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.

Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
