Gravity Hill

Located near Devou Park is Covington's gravity hill. Every time friends or family come to Cincinnati I bring them here and it blows their mind. It really freaks them out when I jump outside and run alongside my truck. I've even gotten out and poured out a bottle of water and it runs uphill.

It would also freak us out if you jumped out and ran alongside, even if it wasn't on a gravity hill. Please stop that!
