So I’ve been wanting to start this blog up for a while. The blog will focus on my adventures through the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. After much thought, the clever title for these adventures finally came to me, “The Kentucky Fried Bucket List.”

The idea came to me from this book I picked up “101 Must Places to Visit in Kentucky Before You Die.” Unfortunately for the thrill seekers out there, this book is now out of print. But I’m sure a Google search or two might get you in the right direction.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again though, Kentucky is probably one of the most diverse states Commonwealths in the nation. It really has a little bit of everything… well accept for some beach front properties but there are some good substitutes. Regardless, the real point here is that there is by far more then 101 things that you must do in Kentucky before you die. Because of this, the blog will not be in the fashion of a checklist but more so just a running documentation of the sites as I see them. Anything I think worth mentioning will get its own entry which includes the first entry.

I couldn’t think of a better way to start my adventures through Kentucky off with than the Madison Theater of Covington. This is a hidden gem for people outside of Northern Kentucky but is a great time. The marquee on the building immediately shows me that this building has been providing an enjoyable experience for decades. Once you step inside its pretty simple though. There’s a bar area, standing space, and a stage. That’s really all you need.

This was my second trip to the Madison. The main act were the Cold War Kids and they were accompanied by Belle Histoire(another band you should check out). These bands didn’t disappoint either, the audio was great and the show was fantastic. Last time I saw Third Eye Blind and Low vs. Diamond. The same can be said for that experience.

If you ever do decide to make the trip, I highly recommend the parking garage around the corner. It never fills up and has wonderful views of downtown Cincinnati.
