We ended up getting out of the warehouse room literally 5 seconds before we ran out of time! Haha It was definitely harder to get out of then we were expecting. There were multiple clues. Some sorta complex. As my group was helping each other, I went on to look for other clues by myself. Found some! Pretty cool. You can't bring any cameras or bags etc into the rooms when you go, so expect that. They have a lockbox to put your stuff in right as you get out. There is an option to get out before the time ends if you'd like too. ( great for anxiety or claustrophobia ) I could imagine. We went down here at night, so there was plenty of parking around 930. This is definitely a cool thing to do if you and your family are bored! Rainy days etc. It's not " cheap " but it's doable for a group of 4-8 easily. We had 5 people and it was like 130 bucks. Not terrible for an hour. We also didn't clean up our crazy mess we made haha! Check it out y'all.

I visited the shelter today to drop of donations that I gathered this afternoon from a task of a…read morescavenger hunt that promotes Random Acts of Kindness. The Hunt task was to donate to homeless person or shelter, and I thought to myself Why not help a shelter I walk and drive by every night while playing Pokemon Go. So I sent out message to friends, family and my many other Pokemon Go players in the Southern Indiana area asking for help in gathering items the shelter was in need of. I had called the Shelter early in the day and asked them what they would like or were in need of, I talked to a really nice lady name Mary and she had given me a list of items they would like to have donated for the youth. I started with my own home first gathering extra things I had I knew that were on the list, then went picked up a few other things from people that had sent me texts they had. Not getting everything on the list I went to the dollar tree and filled a cart full of hygiene products and I mean filled it full, as I was checking out 2 ladies over heard why I was buying all these items and walked up and help pay for everything. Still not having everything on the list I headed to JayC's store to get the rest, filling another cart full of items had another woman help pay for the items at the grocery store when she heard me asking if I could get items put into boxes to fit in the car easier. Before I went to drop of items I went and got some help from some fellow pokemon go players to help me unload things, as we all were unloading many of the teenagers living at the shelter came and helped unload my very full SUV and hearing the joy in their voices when they were seeing things being dropped off. One of them said real ramen noodles, and another asking to bake some dessert items that were in the boxes. Seeing and hearing the joy and smiles from these teens had made my day and I know the 3 others that were with me, Many times youth shelters are over looked but I feel those are some that need it the most, to show them don't give up, that many in the world want to and will help. So many items that were dropped off were basic hygiene products, cakes and brownie mixes, lots of can fruits, veggies, ravioli, rice and the famous Ramen Noodles My Pokemon Go group has decided we are going to hold a month long donation come this November for them, to get food the teens would really like to have and few other items. If it wasn't for #GISHWHES I probably wouldn't have thought of doing this for this shelter or knowing we had one this close to home. The Shelter has a web page with a donation button for those that would like to help out. https://www.ccysfs.org/

Grinchmas is an annual Christmas event that takes place in a church in Shepherdsville Kentucky…read morecalled Journey. The church transforms there building into the grinches lair, whoville and other Christmas holiday favorites. This is a free event that the congregation of this church does a few weekends of the holiday season. You go to there website and reserve a time Frame and date along with your party size for virtual tickets. You line up at your time and walk through this amazing doctorated and creative holiday wonderland. Like the people who designed this have to be engineers or something it is so creative and fun. It's like walking through a movie set. Each section offers something different. It is mainly grinch themed and as you go room to room it legit has the grinch story book. page by page on each wall. At the beginning they have a scavenger hunt game with other hidden Christmas gems. Like for instance one of the air vents had a picture of Bruce Willis character John McClain from die hard in homage to the famed vent scene. Also spread throughout each room was cool meet and greet opportunities with not only the grinch Himself, but buddy the elf, Cindy lou who, the whole whoville villagers, Jack skeleton and finally at the end Santa and his workshop. The characters here were so good at what they did. I'm not sure if they are hired actors or if this congregation has some phenomenal talented members. But everybody played there role brilliantly. The grinch, buddy the elf and the whoville people especially. One of my favorite things that Happened and what will be a for sure long time Christmas memories is my 7 year old daughter who will absolutely only talk to me, her grandpas and one of her uncles when it comes to men walked in the room with buddy the elf. Buddy the elf excitedly "hi little girl". My 7 year old daughter disappears behind my oldest daughters backside. Buddy slowly and cautiously in hilarious will Ferrell like fashion creeps to her looking for a fist bump. My 7 year old is having no part and is backing away and buddy the elf said what you would expect the movie version to say "little girl I just wanna spread holiday cheers for the whole world to share". So we all got a kick out of that and it's just an example of how in character these volunteers were. They really made it seem so legit with the character acting. As mentioned towards the end you hit Santa workshop for a picture with Santa. They also have some decorations and a fake snow blower for kids to play in. They have a stand with complimentary hot chocolates too. Several tables setup for you to sit and relax for a drink before departing. At the end there were some donation jars. There was nobody there forcing or demanding you donate. There was not anyone trying to promote or recruit you to there parish (which I honestly was expecting for a church event). Just a fun, free and creative event for the whole family to enjoy. Overall This was amazing. Me and the family may have a new favorite local holiday tradition. The folks here put on an amazing, fun and memorable event. I'll tell everyone I know To try and visit grinchmas next holiday season. Great job to the folks at journey church for doing as buddy elf would say "spreading holiday cheers for the whole world to share".

NuLu Fest remains one of my favorite neighborhood festivals in Louisville…read more Some things I love about it: * The varied booths, which bring out a wide array of goods and crafts that I don't always see at other festivals. It's usually a mix of local brands and smaller artisans. * The great local businesses. Don't miss out on actually going into the businesses when you're walking along Market Street. Revelry, Red Tree, Louisville Cream, Paxton's, Clayton & Crume, Muth's -- this is one of the best areas for shopping and shouldn't be missed. * The great beer and bourbon brands that are also selling drinks. Akasha Brewing is our favorite brewery, and I love grabbing a beer from them and strolling the festival. * The entertainment. NuLu Fest usually brings out some smaller acts as well as a more marquis musical entertainer. * All the other odd bits mixed in. For example, during the most recent fest, a circus troupe performed in the middle of the street. NuLu Fest is also a great opportunity to just catch up on what's happened in the neighborhood. There are nooks and crannies along this stretch, and I love spying the small businesses and unique views that pop up. NuLu is always fun to visit -- even more so during NuLu Fest.
