Christ Temple Church invites you to New Year's Eve at the Trailhead

Pastor Fred Taylor and Christ Temple Church invite you to ring in the New Year a bit early (5pm to 7pm) at the Trailhead. Bring your chairs and masks OR stay in your cars. Either way, you're in for some wonderful toe-tapping, hand-clapping Gospel.

Here's Wishing You the Happiest of New Years!

Inside each of us is a purpose. This purpose is aching to be found, to get out and to make our family, our community and / or our world a better place. For the year 2021, my wish is for each of us to discover that purpose and to enjoy the journey towards its fulfillment. MMJ

NW Corner Boston and Columbia Street Today: The Patecek Building

Then: The Patecek Building as the Frank Patecek Store

Today, we (the City), have a problem with traffic. The streets of downtown were laid out almost 100 years (1813) before the invention of the automobile. The streets of New Covington (from St. Tammany Parish Hospital to Collins Blvd.) were laid out in 1887. During the early 20th century cars were small and rare (see nighttime picture above). Today almost 15,000 people drive into and out of Covington each weekday. We now have reached a point where there are more vehicles than street. Patience is a virtue.
