St. Tammany Parish is a haven for classic automobile collectors. Several times a year you can stumble upon a classic car show on a beautiful Saturday night. It is a place where people from all walks of life gather and look back at the rich and wonderful history that is American car culture. I personally got to sit in a first generation Corvette, and a 50's era Cadillac. I love classic cars and Covington has plenty to see.

A well-known landmark in Covington is called "The Knot House" or "The Twig House". It is located on private property, but it sits so close to the road that you see it as you drive by. Built nearly 100 years ago as a place for fern sales, it has withstood many hurricanes, high winds and falling tree limbs. It is constructed from the heart pine knots, the hardest and heartiest part of the pine tree. It makes me smile every time I pass it.

The Chimes has an awesome atmosphere. Boudin balls and the spinach and artichoke dip are my two favorite appetizers, but you can't go wrong with their raw oysters either. The beer selection is huge. A great place to kick back, enjoy with friends, and watch a sports event. Take a walk outside on the back patio that leads you down to a creek for a nice scenery.

In addition to having reasonable prices for the medicines, they have an extensive gift selection. You can find baby gifts, Radko Christmas ornaments, specialty lotions, balloons, and lots of gift items with a "New Orleans" or "LSU" motif. Their new store (right next door) will be open by the summertime! I can't wait!

Zea was originally started by a guy from Covington and has expanded to become a chain. But don't be put off that it is a chain - the food is always fresh and delicious.

The Clayton House Marketplace is a consignment facility where local furniture makers and artists can rent stalls to show off their products. If you want one of a kind furniture or decor or even antique jewelry, this is the place to find it and much more.

If you happen to find something you like, but just aren't quite sure, you can even commission the artist or builder to make you a custom piece.

I love the small town charm this place offers!
