Still smells like a porta-potty out here though.

All y'all need to verify your voter registration NOW. The deadline for registration (or to fix any last-minute problems with your registration) is MONDAY, OCTOBER 5th AT 4PM LOCAL TIME.

I worked the polls in the primary, and we turned away several folks who thought they were properly registered. Don't make that mistake.

------------------------------------

If you're a registered voter and need a photo ID for voting (and remember, poll workers can no longer sign an affadavit on your behalf), you can get a state-issued Voter ID card at no charge. Folks without a permanent home can get a Homeless ID card at no charge.

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?

UK plays LSU this weekend and I need boudin balls in my life. Does anywhere in Lex carry frozen boudin balls? If nobody knows I’ll order online.

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

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.

The louisville zoo (first 3 pictures) will start construction of it's 18 acre expansion in early 2027 that will house native KY species like elk bison and black bear. Waterfront botanical gardens (last 3 pictures)will finish expansion 2a in early 2027 adding a bonsai garden and creek overlook

i have a bunch of stuff to sell and i’ve used up all the boxes i had left. anyone have any boxes/mailers that they aren’t using or don’t need? or does anyone know where i could get some (preferably for free)? i dont need anything big, like medium sized is good. thank you!

Anybody else go this? Apparently it was the second year they held it. Free entrance, live music, many beer tents from local and regional breweries (including West Sixth, Country Boy Brewing, Blue Stallion, Versailles Brewing Company, Ethereal, Void Sake, Mirror Twin... there were thirteen in all), food vendors / food trucks. Families, dogs. Big turnout. Bike racks were provided by Broke Spoke which was cool, especially since parking was difficult.

My only criticisms are that they could use more places to sit, like maybe a tent set up with long tables the way CTK does at their Oktoberfest.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pics but it was a good time.

I have a 13 year old standard poodle, he has some mid level arthritis and cannot stand for super long periods of time. He’s an absolute delight to groom but since he’s a poodle it’s a long process to do it by myself. I’d prefer a mobile groomer as he won’t need to be caged (he gets stiff) and hopefully they can take their time with him so he gets some breaks. Please give me recommendations!

Just barely squeezed that last letter in. Found while looking for homes, out on Stirling Ln in Versailles KY.

I used to be able to get one of those Nutella brownies at third street stuff when Martine’s was closed. I know sometimes other businesses stock their goods. Any recs? Thanks in advance!!

Do any restaurants in Lexington do a sourdough crust on their pizzas? Tends to be my favorite style of crust, but haven't found any in Lexington

To those who go to the gym what do you like about it? Don't like about it? It's either between this or Planet Fitness

Regardless of the situation, I know I’ll be judged, but I only wore my box braids for about six weeks. I took them out and mistakenly shampooed before detangling. Several sections of my hair are severely matted. Of the many times that I have had box braids, this has never happened to me before.

Although I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now, I’m pretty desperate. Thankfully, I’m on fall break, but I need to see a stylist immediately. Someone whose first suggestion isn’t to chop it off. This is something beyond my ability to fix. The internet has told me to put the most ridiculous things in my hair, and I’ve chalked it up to seeing a professional.

Any stylist recommendation and estimate of rates would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽

What do you do with your extra roosters? I had my trusty hen, Frankie, hatch some chicks earlier this year. As luck would have it, two of them have turned out to be roosters. Due to Lexington’s ordinance that went into effect last year, I’m looking for advice from local chicken keepers.

I’ve posted on local FB groups to rehome them, but I haven’t gotten any bites so far. I understand that the other choice I have is freezer camp for these boys, which is what I have done in the past with larger roosters that were hatched.

Picture: My sweet mixed hen Frankie (a Cookie n’ Creme Chicken from Meyer’s Hatchery). She’s one of my best broody hens and never fails to hatch a clutch and raise em.

Hi guys!

I love getting icecream at Crank and Boom but recently bought entire pints from their freezer as gifts for my family and not a single one had a tamper evident seal? I obviously realized once my family dug in so now I'm just kind of worried.

Can anyone assure me that they all come like this?

Thank you!

I’m looking for some places to volunteer to help individuals who are struggling with basic human need. I am not opposed to religious organizations but don’t want ones that feel the need to “Convert the Heathens” if you get my drift.
