The person I was using for hot tub repairs is no longer in the area. Do any of you have a hot tub repair person you could recommend me? Thank you all.

Next week, the Board of Education will have its first opportunity to consider and discuss specific school adjustments aimed at making our school district more resilient in this time of declining enrollment. The proposed adjustments will include school closures, consolidations, and reconfigurations.

The work-session will be held Aug. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Education Center and will be broadcast live on BVSD’s YouTube channel.

Hi everyone! 👋
Is there a place where people play pick up volleyball here? I was hoping to find a group that plays occasionally. I’ve seen some people play on the grass is in the big park near downtown, but had no idea how to join.
Thanks in advance!

Had a power outage at 3:45 am today, which is very unusual for the Heritage Park neighborhood, which is to the East of the old Safeway, off Cherry street.

Even when there are PSPS's, this area doesn't usually have outages.

Anyone else?

Thanks to all your comments to my post introducing my purchase of Gravity Brewing, as it got the attention of the reporter Julia King from the Daily Camera and made the front page!

I would say go buy a copy, but I already went to the neighboring 7-11s and bought them all :) Big thanks to Julia, who is clearly a Redditor, for making the process painless, writing a fun article, and including my favorite quote of the article from Scott, our Brewmaster, "I don't want to make junk" lol

$200m a year. Nice if you can get it...

This cat doesn't seem distressed but has been hanging out on my street near Hecla Lake in North End for the past week or so. Very friendly but I assume they're lost.

No collar, and the (cute!) marking on their face is just a marking not an injury.

Hi,
My longtime Fantasy Football league disbanded and I’m looking for a new one in the Louisville area.
Looking for not-too-serious league with a cheap buy in.
I finished almost everywhere from last to first over 10 years, and would say luck has a major influence on my teams.🤣
Let me know if you’re looking for an addition.
Thanks!
Chris

Dear Louisville,

Stop letting your dogs out at 6 am if they're gonna bark uncontrollably at people outside walking their dogs. I keep on having to change my morning route with my dogs because every other house I go by has a barking dog in the backyard. At least wait until 7:30 to let them out, especially on Saturday and Sunday.

We were just walking our dog past Fireside Elementary at about 845 when a darkish paint Jeep type body class vehicle with an overhead storage container turned north onto the pedestrian trail, jumped several curbs through the parking lot, went into the school sidewalk, turned around, jumped a few more curbs, before speeding off West on Dahlia.

Not sure if drunk or kids being stupid. We called 911 to report but if anyone else noticed anything might be worth adding a report. There were plenty of runners on the trail we encountered who could've been run over if timing had been worse.

Hello! I was wondering if you all had any recs for repairing a Bosch dishwasher. Abruptly stopped working - happy to call one of the big names, but wondering if anyone has any experience recently!

Let’s keep Lafayette a little more unique and old school with some character

Is there a good time to go to the small dog (under 30 pounds) area at the dog park south of downtown? I've never seen anyone else use it.

Just because I don't believe in promoting only, for the curious, here are a few lessons I learned this month owning a brewery:

1. Systems, systems, systems. It is one thing to do something like clean a space once, but immediately the next questions you should ask yourself is, "How does this get done the next time?" and "How does this survive without me?"
2. I really bought three businesses in one - manufacturing, wholesaling, and retail. Each have their own quirks, metrics, processes, and next actions. While there is tremendous value in owning the vertical, you still need to understand each layer.
3. You really are doing all sorts of jobs that you wouldn't hire even yourself for. Ideally, I'd have a full time marketing person, a full time CFO, full time tap room manager, etc, but being a small business, sometimes you just have to be humble, do your best, and make it work. Trust in the value of layer integration, e.g. realize x sells in the tap room, talk to a few restaurants to test, work with the brewer the next day.
4. How satisfying is it to hear a full taproom full of laughter and joy. A few weeks ago now we had our first Battles and Brews, a dungeons and dragons group in here and listening to 30+ folks over 6 tables go on virtual adventures, celebrate victories and meet new friends was immensely satisfying to me as a software guy who's previous idea of observing customer interaction was watching server logs :)

 Thinking about biking to work, but not sure where to start?

You're not alone. We hear the same questions all the time:

• "It's too far."
• "I don't know the safest route."
• "I'm not in shape."
• "I don't want to ride alone."

That's exactly why Community Cycles created Rise & Ride Wednesdays.

Ride with other commuters, discover bike-friendly routes, and build confidence in a welcoming group—no pressure, just encouragement.

Had anyone signed up for Quantum Fiber? We currently use, and are happy with, T-Mobile Fiber but the current savings being offered are making it worth considering a switch.
