Beautiful location for a special event and membership for the country club!…read more Only downside for holding an event inside the building is that there is only one toilet for the ladies! (That I know of) I have been fortunate enough to attend 2 KET fundraisers here, (Fabby Abbey Balls) and I must say that it was the perfect backdrop location to fulfill the atmosphere and add to the overall feel that heralds a time by gone. The staff were always accommodating and willing to play along with the themes and converse with the guests. There is also adequate parking tucked behind the side of the building. I would highly recommend a visit if you are able to procure one!

EKU Alumni Coliseum…read more I've spent many a happy hour inside the Eastern Kentucky University Alumni Coliseum! I return to visit as often as I am able. I always call it the arena. Starting in 1968 I saw music concerts that are historic now. In the early 70's I saw the Temptations, The Spinners, Earth Wind and Fire, and more. I can't remember all the shows now. I've tried to find a list of the shows at the EKU Coliseum but haven't located a list yet. I hope they have historical information. I attended other shows I'm sure and probably a basketball game. I'm not much of a basketball fan. I spent a lot of time swimming in the pool. Since my friends and family still live in the area I visit when I go to Richmond. I'm giving it Five Stars because I've never been disappointed. I hope other people can have the happy memories after their time spent at the Alumni Coliseum. If you live nearby like I did you know about the activities offered in this beautiful old venue. A little history: Built in 1963, the Paul S. McBrayer Arena located inside Alumni Coliseum, is capable of seating around 6,500 people in both chair-back seats and on wooden benches (8,000 for concerts) arranged in a horseshoe shape, facing a wall at the right side of the arena where staging is usually set up for events. The arena's ceiling is made completely of wooden beams and is believed to be the largest of its kind in existence. It was named for the former EKU Men's Basketball Coach Paul McBrayer who compiled a record of 219-144.

My review of Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) is focused on their athletic amenities. I visited…read moreEKU to attend the State Track Meet for Special Olympics of Kentucky and was mostly pleased with what they offer. It's a nice looking campus and features a number of older buildings mixed with some newer ones. There's also plenty of green space. EKU Athletics features the Roy Kidd Football Stadium as well as outdoor track facilities; softball and baseball fields; an indoor basketball arena; and a natatorium. Although EKU offers all these options, most of their facilities are outdated/worndown and arena-style seating is limited (example: there was only about 10 rows of bleacher-style seating at the track field). Still, EKU is a good option for sporting events!

As a member of the Knights of Columbus council at Mary Queen, I'm blessed that our council does…read moremuch for our church, school, and the city of Lexington, Kentucky, not to mention they pray for us, overlook our faults, and forget our mistakes As church members, we never truly know what a hello, friendly word to a fellow parishioner or a visitor will be--an encouragement, a blessing. Plus, it is the priest's job to help people become great Christians, and we have that at Mary Queen. We are so blessed that they touch people's hearts during each mass. The week's highlight is disconnecting from the world and spending time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. That's right, leave everything at the door. Pope John Paul II once said, "Our communal worship at mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete." And he was so right.

I've never felt more unwelcome in a Catholic church in 50 years. Their mask police interrupted me…read morein prayer, and then at the Priest's request, during the homily during which I was told I would be asked to leave if I would not wear a mask. I was seated alone, far more than six feet from anyone other than the people behind me. During the announcements, the priest promoted the parishes fall festival. He says that many people have joined the church because of the welcome reception they've received at the festival. It must be a lot more welcoming than that of Mass.

I mostly just needed a refresher course, but thank goodness he was there. I put out a feeler on facebook and someone suggested Nobles Nurses. I am so glad they did. He was professional and to the point. He gave me everything I needed to understand the material and then test me on it. It was a quick skill update for me. I would recommend him to anyone.

I only went here to watch a volleyball game. It was a normal gym. Great court. I liked that the…read moreother side had a flat area to allow kids not wanting to watch and pay attention to the game to run a muck and play. It is located directly in front of the doors as you enter. I believe this use to be the old GRC high school until it became too unfit for the high school kids then they built a new one miles away with no foot ball field. Then the middle school kids inherited this one. Go figs. I didn't mind it at all, but lady taking money for the game charged me double. Guess I looked stupid or sketchy. Oh well. I paid.

This is the second dance competition I have attended at this school. It's very clean. The locker…read moreroom was great for my girls to change in and run back out to the floor to perform! The school's colors are green and yellow. Very bright when you walk in. Looks like tons of athletic accomplishments. Very spacious and hold quite a few spectators. Each event was dance related and it's a huge difference being a spectator and a coach. As a spectator, the high school dances from a side view. As a middle school coach, it was way more crowd friendly since the dancers faced the crowd. For each event, there was enough room for everyone to enjoy the show!

I really enjoyed my experience here. Ashley, the instructor, is a lot of fun, knowledgeable, and…read morehelpful with giving advice and clear instructions. I am a terrible painter but I honestly made the best painting of my life here. Ashley made the experience fun and looked to my strengths to give me advice on what I could do better. She gave me different tools throughout the process to help me accomplish the look I was going for. One of the best things about this place as well is that if you don't finish in your first visit you can come back at certain times and have full access to their resources and advice even if it takes a couple times of coming back to do so. Coming here gave me confidence in my ability to actually paint well and it was not stressful at all during the process. Next time the wife and I get a chance to have some free time, this place is definitely going to be on our minds!
