Where to go. What to do.
WorldFest: celebrating diversity in Louisville with the family [Family and Parenting]
Woven through the tapestry of our humble city, coloring our land-locked valley are countless immigrants that call Louisville home. Often-times we step outside our doors and casually wave to the mono-chromatic neighbors that surround us, but rarely do we have the pleasure of celebrating the beautiful diversity of our city. Only at my day-job, in the public school system of Jefferson County am I reminded of the cultures that call this area home.
Party with 'Saved by the Bell's' Mr. Belding... seriously... [Food and dining]
When you think of iconic acting roles, what comes to mind?
Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry?
Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow?
Harrison Ford as Han Solo?
How about Dennis Haskins as Mr. Belding on Saved by the Bell?

The Glass Art Society brings international attention to Louisville [Downtown]
KEEPING IT WEIRD
When most people out of state think about international conferences held in Louisville, they picture the Farm Machinery Show. If they're thinking hard, they might conjure an image of Something With Horses. What they don't picture is the international Glass Art Society conference.
The doors of the main branch of the Louisville Free Public Library officially open with a bang [Downtown]
The August 2009 flood caused approximately $8 million in damage to the main branch of the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL), and many irreplaceable volumes were lost. However, thanks to insurance money, and contributions from the Metro government and the Library Foundation, the main branch of the LFPL marked the completion of its refurbishment this past Saturday with its Grand Re-Opening Celebration.
Everybody loves the Chow Wagon [Kentucky Derby]
I didn't grow up in Louisville, so the Chow Wagon is somewhat mystifying for me. I thought it was an excuse for downtown workers to balance their healthy walk to the waterfront with deliciously greasy fair food.
I went down on a gorgeous night this week to check it out for myself. It wasn't quite what I expected. I arrived a little after 4 pm, and the place was already bustling.
Thunder By Foot [Thunder Over Louisville]
Once upon a time, I missed a good old traditional American 4th of July celebration because I was living in Germany. I was traumatized for life. Pfft, said the well intentioned Germans. Wait for New Year's Eve. We'll put your country to shame. Our cities full of stone buildings roofed with clay shingles mean we don't just aim at the sky - we try to set our entire country on fire. It's only worked twice. You'll love it.
Wusses.
