r/Louisville

Looking through posts here saying that you can. I just came from the one downtown in Louisville and they said they stopped doing that about 2 years ago. 😞

Visiting next month for a long weekend and looking for best hikes within an hour or so of Louisville. Adults only.

Who are the Craig Greenberg voters?

I'd like to acknowledge that I know full and well what kind of space this sub is and that I'm not trying to disparage anyone in the slightest.

That being said, I'm just sort of confused. As a person in my early 20's, I struggle to see how Craig Greenberg can be compelling to really anybody, much less 52.53% of primary voters. I understand that detractors are oftentimes the loudest, especially in online spaces, but it just seems that everything I hear about him is negative.

Are people compelled by Greenberg? Is he doing good things? Are people just filling in his bubble because they recognize his name? Is raising the most campaign money just that important? Is he actually really popular and I don't know because I'm that deep in an echo chamber?

I just figured you all might have some opinions.

Hi! My family (me, hubs, two 15 yr olds, & two 13 yr olds) is spending a week in Kentucky in late June/early July. I’ve been working on my list of potential stuff to do. I’d originally been looking at visiting Churchill Downs for a tour, but found that we’ll be there during the last live race of the season (Sunday, June 28). I’m curious about advice on visiting for tour or race, where to sit, and whether reserved dining tix actually have good food on non-Derby days.

The fam loves all kinds of animals (already on my list is some of the “retirement homes” for race horses). I’m honestly not sure how we’d all feel about watching live racing. I know the animals are absolutely stunning athletes. I also know we’d be devastated if we saw a bad injury. I don’t know how often it happens, and I’m not really interested in googling that 🫪

It’s an opportunity to visit an iconic US venue, which is cool, especially since we don’t find ourselves in or near Kentucky ever. Will we or the kids get bored if we went for the race? We’re not especially into gambling, though I’m sure we’d place some small wagers for funsies.

There are seats available for like $60 in the SI Club, Rose’s Lounge, and Stakes Room, all of which include dining. I cannot for the life of me find out anything about the food there except for Derby week. I’d like to know if I’m getting a 5-star experience or sad hot dogs and grey hamburgers. There are also a few resale tickets available in the Turf Club boxes, regular tickets in the Champions Loge, and plenty of options in the 300s boxes at the finish line.

Overall, tour or race? If race, which seats? If dining, what food can I expect?

Thanks! 🐎🌹💵💜

Voter turnout yesterday was despicable. Everyone everywhere bitches about everything, and you can’t take the time to educate yourself on your leaders that directly affect you? Pull your heads out of your asses and figure it out. Start reading and learn some shit about the people that control you.

Doing a joint birthday dinner thing with a few of my friends and one of their requests was “somewhere quirky, cute and/or just fun” for a restaurant. I’m biased to some places so looking for other suggestions here!
Also, it will be a party of 6.

Thank you!

Hi all! A coworker and I are trying to think of a place we used to go to on field trips. It was on Preston or Poplar Level. I’m more positive it was Preston. All I remember is they had a water balloon launcher thing out front where you could launch them to the other team and maybe a baseball thing? I don’t remember anything else about it. I know it’s closed down now. This would have been about 20ish years ago.
