ABCs of Racing Series - Part 4: Wagering [Kentucky Derby]

A good day at the race track is when you're cashing tickets, but you're not going to cash a ticket if you don't know how to make a bet.

There are so many different ways to bet and a lot of things to consider before making your bet, but wagering doesn't have to be intimidating. Simple win, place, or show bets are fun and easy. First, you must understand the difference between the three. Win = first place; Place = second place; and Show = third place. Once you've decided what position you think your horse will finish, make your way to the betting window. Most tellers are more than happy to help you place your wager even if you have no idea how to communicate it.

Cirque Airotic turns love into a pleasant circus, for a change [Old Louisville]

The only kind of Valentine’s Day circus that is tolerable is the “Love is a Circus” show at Magnolia Bar on Thursday, February 10.

    Wouldn’t it be nice to undress your Valentine without sitting through a crowded dinner that doesn’t provide any real intimacy, let alone a hot meal after the kitchen gets backed-up because everyone in town wanted the day to be special... so they all did the same thing? Cirque Airotic, Louisville’s only aerial burlesque troop, will be showing a little skin without making you pay for it with your sanity.

Gallery meets street art in "LoCAL.streets" show [Downtown]

  When first visiting Louisville I was struck by the illustrations covering buildings, fence posts, and street curbs.  Some of it was created with paint pallets, and others with spray paint (it’s not to hard to play ‘Where’s Waldo’ with ‘OPM’ tags). The lines between art and graffiti, or other street arts, is more blurred now than ever before with commercial galleries opening their arms, and wallets, to street art. Louisville artist and curator Danial Pfalzgraf is bringing this concept to the city with his upcoming show "LoCAL.streets."
