No, not yet. The gators are still too plentiful down in the glades, they're not going to leave their best food source.

 

My aunt wants us to move to E-Town. If it wasn't for the kids and grand kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Or maybe relocate to Louisville. Then again, my aunt in Hamilton wants us to move up there. Next year I need to reevaluate things and talk to the kids. If my job ceases to exist, I may have no choice, but to sell out and move.

I didn't think they had but wasn't for sure.

 

If you do decide to do that I'd pick Louisville over E-Town!

I went to Mallards in Danville last spring. Not sure that I would call it a sports bar but it had several tv's and was a nice place. Boyle County was dry when I did my 4 year hitch at Centre C.

 

I really liked Danville when I lived there. I think I would like it even more now. :thumb:

 

I think you would as well. I love it here. Just need that sports bar. And a White Castle. And a Chick-fil-A. .

The best part about where I live is that it is a small town. Everyone knows everyone it is safe and clean.

 

The worst part about where I live is that it is a small town. Everyone knows everyone is up in your business. I hate small town drama and gossip.

I dislike the same thing about Frankfort that I dislike about a lot of other cities and towns: Urban planning and zoning leaves a lot to be desired! Blighted areas...ie. closed plants, stores, warehouses, etc. sit for ages unimproved as eyesores while undeveloped natural (forested, wetland, etc.) space or farmland is turned over to put in townhouses, apartments, retail all for the almighty buck for the developer, builder, and pads the tax coffers. Just would like to see higher incentives to make it more worthwhile to convert existing developed but abandoned space first.

Wow 4 pages......hot topic.

Nice post. Well said.

Why should it merge? I think that school gives Southgate some of its identity.

Is this where they filmed the movie "Footloose"?

 

No, but thinks for the idea.

I agree.

"The Ohio River Bridges Project is about getting people through our city and is important infrastructure for our general economy."

 

That was Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer's response earlier this week when asked about a recent NY Times article that mentioned the Ohio River Bridges Project [ORBP] as a bureaucratic nightmare and a completely unnecessary boondoggle tearing through downtown Louisville. The mayor ran on the platform that the ORBP would bring jobs. To my mind it's a pretty dubious claim given what he's doing to some swiftly redeveloping neighborhoods (this project is going to stop a lot of it right in its tracks).

 

No Mr. Mayor, any downtown infrastructure development project like that should be about getting people INTO the city, not through it. Let the East End bridge that all the special interests have done their best to block be the trick to getting people through the city.

 

We don't need a 12-lane highway tearing through the urban core. We don't need a massive redesign of Spaghetti Junction that tears through developing and revitalized parts of the city that will, in the end, only make the traffic problem worse. We actually DO need an East End bridge. Guess which two of those three is actually going to get built.

 

Stuff like this is my least favorite thing about Louisville.

Gotta say...I think all are needed. Yes, it's not just about getting people through Louisville, but I-65 is the major N-S thru-way, and transportation companies absolutely must have acess through Louisville. Improving the interstate can bring more commerce in Louisville, it's bedroom communities and Southern Indiana, meaning jobs, and some new citizens. The downtown bridge is needed, IMO. Also, if you had to drive Spaghetti Junction on a daily basis, I think you'd find Spaghetti Junction would be among your top "hates" about Louisville. :lol: As it is, it frustrates me at times, but I rarely subject myself to the torture. If the traffic reports say it's backed up, I get off in downtown and go through there. If I don't know in advance, I'll zip off at Story.

I loathe spaghetti junction.

Etown is rumored to get a Hooters. I'd prefer a B-Dubs but still, I CAN'T wait. Hoping they will stay open for UFC fights and weekday UK games. No bar in Etown gets UFC fights and I've had to leave at halftime many times during UK games...

 

At first I thought you were just being a cry baby in your original posts but after reading this. Poor guy, you really are deprived.
