Louisville Grows is helping to shape Louisville [Environment]
Whether you believe that global warming is a myth or believe that America needs to invest in clean energy, at the end of the day we can both agree that planting a garden to help sustain lower-income communities is a positive action.
"Louisville Grows is a non-profit sustainability consultancy program," Mason Roberts, executive director, said. "For example, we help organizations that either need funds, helping hands, or education on gardening, and we make it happen."
Louisville Buy Nothing Day gives alternative to Black Friday [Charitable Event]
November 26. 5am. Wall-to-wall customers, scrambling for that one of a kind sale item. Clerks half asleep, the smell of strong coffee on their breath. The thrill of victory when you find the perfect gift. The agony of defeat when you lose it by two minutes.
That is how Black Friday usually pans out.
But Ted Loebenberg has different plans for the years biggest shopping day, and he wants you involved, too.
He has organized Louisville's first Buy Nothing Day Coat Exchange.
Buy Nothing Day? On Black Friday? The name itself sounds blasphemous!

Gettin’ Chili – Community supper at Peterson-Dumesnil House this Saturday [Crescent Hill]
There are a lot of things I love about Autumn – wearing hoodies, celebrating holidays, pretending to care about politics - but at the top of the list would have to be eating a big bowl of chili.
My wife will attest that my testosterone and manliness do not manifest themselves in the typical ways most of the time. I hate sports, know nothing about cars, and think kittens are kind of adorable.

GoGreen Germantown launches neighborhood beautification and sustainability projects [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
In true Germantown-Schnitzelburg style, one concerned citizen has begun a project of passion for the community's sake. Schnitzelburg Area Community Council (SACC) board member Susan Brunton has started an organization called GoGreen Germantown in order to beautify and better the area. Recently, Brunton and her husband noticed large whiskey jugs on the corner of Texas and Burnett and used their own funds to plant shrubs and flowers. The support in form of honks from passersby gave Brunton the idea to continue beautifying the neighborhood.
Annual Germantown Beer Walk rescheduled [Germantown/Schnitzelburg]
Schnitzelburg Spring Walk, Germantown Spring Walk, Germantown Beer Walk – whichever name you choose to use, this community event is another classic example of the neighborhood’s unity. During the annual walk, Hickory Street is shut down between Burnett Avenue and Goss Avenue while pedestrians visit all the bars in that stretch, listen to music, play games, and karaoke. This year, a Louisville band called The Remedy will perform from 8pm, and The Knights of St. John charity will be conducting raffles and games.
