I recently turned on a Google Alert[1] for "cynthiana ky." While I have been getting a few bum hits and stories that I'm not interested in (such as whenever MTV News writes up something on Idol in Iraq and mentions PFC Puckett) I have discovered a few interesting stories. One of the latest is a posts the alert found was where someone wrote about an article[2] in the New York Times:

Yesterday’s New York Times[3] contained this story on little Ewing, Kentucky and its not-quite-really-new insurance tax[4] (photo of Ewing’s downtown from the NYT):

> Leaders of this town in the bluegrass country of northeast Kentucky are facing a problem any mayor would envy: how to spend a windfall.
> Well, a small-town windfall at least. Ewing, population 300, has limped along for decades with no independent revenues, and its residents are fed up enough with having to pay county property taxes. But later this year, it will start collecting a grand total of $12,000 a year or more from a new tax that came about through quirks of fate and law.
It's a neat little story worth reading. Another story Google found introduced me to a restaurant in Paris, called Varden's. From the looks of the site[5], and the entries posted on their blog[6], it looks like a place I'd like to check out. The article Google found was pulled because the author mentioned Cynthiana[7], or more specifically, The Rohs Opera House:

There is a great theater in Cynthiana, KY. They show movies, put on plays, have their own variety show, and "Cynthiana Idol". Jessica and I went to Cynthiana this weekend and loved our visit. We took a nice walk around town and stopped by to see The Rohl's. The folks who run it were very nice to us and let us take a tour. We can't wait to get back to see a movie or show.
It's neat what you can find--or what Google can find--if you take a few minutes to look around.
