Sports legends of the Ville: The Actor [Sports]

If playing a major role in one of the greatest sports films of all time doesn't make you a sports legend of the Ville, I don't know what will. In this Sports legends segment I take a look at legendary actor and native Louisvillian, Ned Beatty.

Ned Beatty might not be the first name one thinks of when they think of sports in the city of Louisville, theatre certainly. Appearing in countless notable films and being a several time Oscar and Emmy Award nominee, the Louisville native who spent much of his formative years in the St. Matthews area is highly accomplished in his field; arguably the most well-known character actor currently working.

Light up the Night: Douglas Keeney presents space photography at the Library [Books]

Prepare to be amazed with the grandeur and the glow of our Earth at night. Douglas Keeney will present Lights of Mankind: The Earth at Night as Seen from Space at the Library's St. Matthew's branch tomorrow, December 7th, at 7pm

It has been said that the night belongs to lovers.  I suppose “said” is a subtle term – wailed as a raw and sexual anthem is perhaps more appropriate.  Being the diurnal creatures that we are biologically meant to be, the nighttime has forever held an intoxicating allure for our more basic instincts.  The mystique and danger of the dark is something that excites our primal senses but also ignites our fears.  Empires (both corporate and historical) have been built on the glow of illuminated darkness; both our pockets and our natural resources pay dearly

Revisit this classic Holiday story with some special guests from the Louisville Ballet! Family storytime at the Library just got a little more magical.

For many adults, the Holiday season can be a time of hair-raising stress.  There are relatives to be wrangled, pies to be baked, trees to be trimmed and endless rounds of wondering if Santa will be able to afford all the right presents.  Let’s not even talk about the shopping situation at The Mall.

Doing the Rumba [Louisville Magazine]

I traveled to Cuba in 1998 and, at the tables of several families there, tasted food I still savor: pork marinated in fresh orange juice, cumin and garlic; a simple breakfast of crispy Cuban bread and newly laid eggs purloined from hens cooped outside kitchen windows. Those memories made me wonder whether Marcos Lorenzo and Fernando Martinez would succeed when they opened their Cuban restaurant, Havana Rumba, in St. Matthews in 2004.

New pizza place promises health food [Food and dining]

New franchise celebrates Louisville location this weekend in an effort to give pizza a better name.

Usually, becoming a successful independent restaurant is enough of an underdog success story…

But Naked Pizza became a successful independent restaurant in a Katrina-ravaged part of New Orleans in 2006 while the city was still recovering. And they did it selling what they refer to as the “World’s Healthiest Pizza.” 

So if you’ve already been that successful at facing huge challenges, why not just go after the other obvious obstacles that stand in your way?
