Established in April of 1907, historic Southgate, Kentucky derives its name from the Southgate family who were the southern gate protectors of London, England. The "Richard Southgate" monolith can be found in the Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate. Prior to the current City Building which was constructed in 1939 by the PWA, city meetings were held in what was basically a garage. You can find a pedestrian tunnel also built by the PWA in Southgate that goes under U.S. Route 27 near St. Therese School for safe passage for adults and children to the other side of the highway.

i think my great-grandfather Grubb is buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Southgate, Newport, Covington, etc., are all beautiful places. As "telecommuting" becomes more normal, young people are going want to move to walkable, pedestrian-friendly, urbane places. Your legacy infrastructure is you greatest asset. Protect it, and it'll serve your community well.

The Roosevelt Depression era building project was called WPA (Works Progress Administration), not PWA (Public Works Administration -- no such national Dem-sponsored program). Saved many lives and homes. Now referred to as a "socialist program."😢
