Local news is getting choked out

During these election cycles, how many people tune out, turn off the news. How many never come back?

Seems intentional that the dumbest loudest political ads during the news, are there to push people away from actually getting the news? Who wants to listen to 4 minutes of news followed by 2 minutes of lies?

Anyone know the story behind these signs? Saw several about a month ago and now they’ve reappeared. I’m fascinated and dying to know context!

The water company 🙄

My son just bought his first house last Thursday after years of overtime, hard work, and saving. Anyway he didn’t realize the water was shut off the day of closing by the seller. Moved in on Saturday. He has been trying to get the water turned on since Friday. They were closed for the holiday on Friday. Couldn’t reach anyone until Monday when he requested a ticket be put in for service. Called today and was told they don’t have a ticket in and couldn’t escalate the request. Except for one lady this evening , everyone he’s talked to has been rude. It’s just him and his 2 dogs. He works out of town and im a couple hours away. Is it normal to be blown off like this for an essential service? He’s been buying water so I realize this isn’t the worst thing in the world. But wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. I haven’t in all my years and places I’ve lived. Usually it’s cable you wait around for lol.

Advice for neighbor harboring a mosquito breeding ground

My neighbor has a decrepit pool that hasn’t been used in years and is in disarray. The only function it serves is to collect rain water and create an unbearable mosquito breeding ground every year. I’m located in the highlands so our homes are quite close to each other.

As neighbors, we aren’t necessarily on friendly speaking terms as she is quite reclusive and rarely leaves her house. There’s no animosity, she just keeps to herself. I’m having trouble confronting her and asking her to take care of the problem. She’s quite old and her backyard is neglected. It’s too much for her to take care of at this point.

We have planted a huge garden full of pollinators, grasses, etc. in hopes to bring in predatory insects to help mitigate the mosquitos, but it’s still quite bad. My wife and I don’t want to spray our yard for pesticides for a variety of reasons.

I am aware of a Louisville city ordinance that prohibits stagnant water that promotes mosquito breeding. I’m curious if others have had similar situations and how you handled it. Is it worth filing a complaint with the city?

Thanks in advance!

Local organizations that assist with emergency pet meds?

Hey guys, I’m hoping you all might be able to point me in the right directions. Three months ago, our seven year old cat was diagnosed with Feline Diabetes. He has been prescribed Bexacat, which seems to be working really well, he has gotten back to his old self.

His initiative 90 day supply will be out this week, and I will have to refill his medication. I’m currently laid off, and fighting with unemployment to get paid. (They have an error balance on my account after COVID- working on it getting it resolved)

Anyway, are there any organizations in the Louisville area (or anywhere else in the region) that help people with needs like that? This medication costs 162.00$ for 3 month supply, and we just can’t swing it right now, especially with these gas prices. Any help, or guidance towards an organization that can help, would be greatly appreciated. I can’t stand the idea of this little guy suffering without meds, or worse, losing him. Much love! God Bless!!

Potentially Moving to Louisville?

Hello! I’m a single woman of color in my mid 30s, considering moving to Louisville from NYC to be closer to my mom who lives in southern Indiana. I’m not from the area, as she moved there after I was in college. Has anyone made this move? Particularly single people? I enjoy visiting Louisville for the beautiful homes and green spaces. I know culturally it would be a difference, but I’m mostly concerned about making friends and dating. Any insight would be helpful!

Mixmix Cafe opens in Highlands with coffee, Filipino desserts

Mixmix Cafe opened Saturday at 2240 Taylorsville Road, next to My Tindahan, the Filipino grocery (I think the two businesses have the same owners). Mixmix offers typical coffee drinks, baked goods and some sandwiches, but it also plans to sell Filipino desserts like halo-halo.

Mixmix wasn’t busy when I stopped by this morning, but I don’t think many people know about it yet.

Putting the body of the article in the comments:

This place was good when I went in Asheville years ago. That corner of Brownsboro is going to be crazy with the 7 Brew, CFA, Publix, Kroger, this and I'm sure more to come...

Best trails for wildflowers?

I'm an avid hiker in the area, so I'm familiar with all the trails within an hour, but I'm wondering if anyone has tips for specific trailswhere the wildflowers are best right now.

For example, the Wild Hyacinth trail at the Parklands is absolutely great for them towards the end of April when the hyacinth bloom. I did Black Willow and Moss Gibbs the other day at the Parklands, but neither had much up yet. I've heard Creasy Mahan is good for them but haven't been out there yet.

Any other recommendations to see the current ephemerals while they last?
