Where to go. What to do.
Peterson-Dumesnil House already setting up for Crescent Hill Fourth of July party [Crescent Hill]
Crescent Hill Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration taking place this Saturday and Sunday [Crescent Hill]
All over Crescent Hill, signs stapled to telephone poles are promoting the 27th-annual Crescent Hill Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration, held this Saturday and Sunday. The Crescent Hill Art & Music Festival, it's worth mentioning, will be going on at the same time. The fact that it takes place at the Peterson-Dumesnil House (301 S. Peterson Ave.) — basically my back yard — makes me want to check it out. (Side note: Notice in the picture that the sign says there'll be free trolley rides for spectators?

For the best fireworks, you have to drive across the bridge [Southern Indiana]
Let me start by saying that I'm not encouraging you to buy fireworks in Indiana and take them across the river to Kentucky—that, my friends, is illegal, and I don't want to hear you complain when your truckload of fireworks is confiscated. What I am saying, though, is that sparklers aren't as much fun when you're an adult, but they're pretty much the most exciting fireworks you can buy in Kentucky because of the stringent fireworks laws on that side of the river.

Where to go in Louisville to shop for mom [Mother's Day]
No matter what we give our mothers on Mother's Day, it can never do justice to the sacrifices they have made for us. No bottles of Jean Naté or Enjoli could ever repay them for what they have done, not to mention labor itself. Conversely, while trying to give back equally is a futile attempt, giving no gift on Mother's Day is not an option, either.
