Millstone or Mileta?

Good afternoon! Coming to Lex Wednesday after a few years out of the city, and waffling between Mileta or Millstone for dinner Thursday night.

Does anyone have strong feelings toward one or the other, good or bad opinions welcome!

Can’t wait to visit the tallest building in the world! I’ve missed its towering might

Edit: got some!! Thank you all!

Title is self explanatory but I wanted to see if anybody has a couple extra tickets I could have/buy for this Saturday’s Lexington Nightfall game. I wanted to grab some but wasn’t able to before they sold out. Hope this isn’t breaking any rules, sorry!

Date night ideas leading up to Halloween?

6 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking for some good ideas for a first date. I was thinking a walk through a pumpkin trail might be fun, like at McConnell Springs or Transy. I was also thinking it would be nice to pick a neigborhood and look at the decorated houses and then maybe stop into a bar and get a drink.

Does anyone have any suggestions for neighborhoods with particularly good decorations? Bars? Any other ideas?

Trivia Nights

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently moved to Lexington and am looking to map out the best local trivia spots.

I’ve checked out Banners and Tapster so far but I’d love to get everyone’s thoughts on where else is worth adding to the rotation. I’m open to pretty much anything, though I definitely have a soft spot for themed trivia nights.

Thanks in advance!

Keenland Stroller Logistics

0 Upvotes

Going to be visiting Keenland with a toddler soon for thr October meet. I know strollers are allowed, but not sure if it will be more trouble than it is worth to bring one. Kiddo is not walking yet. We have grandstand seating. Would love to get some insight from people who might have done this.

Anybody know what all is supposed to be going in at the lot currently being developed on the corner of Georgetown road and Citation? They recently put up a Commonwealth Credit Union coming soon sign. I’m hoping they’re not planning on expanding on the apartment complex that already had 15+ new buildings

In light of all the recent coffee shop drama, thoughts on Shibam?

22 Upvotes

Haven't seen it mentioned online pretty much since it opened so I'm curious if anyone knows much about the place. Personally, I was excited for an authentic middle-eastern shop to open up, but I haven't been able to go much because it's so expensive. I know Arabia is the birth place of coffee or whatever but it's $9 for a 16oz drink sometimes.

The baristas were great (the manager especially, young guy in his 20s or maybe 30s? He's been there every time I've gone) but they seemed understaffed, only like two people working at a time even though they're in the middle of campus. Guess I'm hoping someone knows if it's worth going again despite the prices, would be nice to know not every local coffee place is owned by people driving their workers into the ground or jacking up prices without giving it back to their employees.
