My family held our family reunion in Louisville, KY and our Meet & Greet Dinner at Sawyer Hayes…read moreCommunity Center. We dealt w/Shawn directly, who was awesome! The facility itself is perfect - clean, spacious and the perfect location to host a family event. We paid a little extra for the A/V package and the podium and microphone came in handy. While we opted to bring in our own speaker, Shawn pointed out the we could use the large tv to login to Youtube and show our uploaded videos (at no extra charge) should we need to. The Kitchen was right off the event space and was perfect for setting up our catered meals. Shawn and his team setup about 12 round tables and 4 rectangle tables (for food and such) and then asked if we need additional.. which we did and he was able to set them up ahead of our start time. All tables/chairs are included with the rental.. which saves time and money! There is an accessible patio right outside the hall that we had access to and some of my family members took advantage of the tables/chairs on the patio. Although we do not host many events in Louisville, if I ever did another I would most definitely use the Sawyer Hayes community center, without hesitation. If your local to the area or need a space ... I highly recommend this place - trust me you will not regret it!

This review is based on the ground at assert Hayes park located within Ky State EP Sawyer park…read more Once the grounds of the historic Central State Hospital. With that said the property is now a park setting. While visiting on several occasions of the beautiful grounds to observe wildlife and evening walks and a occasional quite picnic lunch. The community center is now the main Operation's for many occasions. More information can be found by calling administrators. As for the park grounds, There is a small pavilion picnic area on the eastern portion with indoor restroom facilities. I enjoy visiting at sunset to watch the sky, wildlife as well as a walk. Calm and quite area. To watch a beautiful and tranquil sunset view I highly recommend.

I began working on the edges of Middletown almost 20 years ago, and back then there was nothing…read moremuch in Middletown that stood out other than a few local shops and cafes on Old Main Street. I also knew of Middletown and Hite Elementary, plus Eastern HS - all good schools. Now, Middletown looks different. I still work nearby and now I live just a couple of stop lights away. It continues to be a good place to shop local on Old Main, including Prickly Pear, Judy's Consignment and shops in the buildings once used as the first grocery store, or post office. Their city hall building also has a small walking circle and tables to enjoy lunch outside. A few local cafes have also remained, such as Alley Cat Cafe. During the fall they host a weekend fair, shutting down the street and shooting off fireworks. For Christmas they light the path with lights. Getting back on Shelbyville Rd, this area has popped with new businesses and restaurants. Most are chains but some are local. Check out the Cheddar Box, Paul's Fruit Market and Havana Rumba. Getting Target and Walmart in Middletown truly changed things. Nothing had been there! Now you'll find things to do and eat all the way to Gene Snyder (and beyond!) - House of Boom, Planet Fitness, Cyclebar, Club Pilates, Feeders Supply and more. Middletown is becoming a popular spot for families to purchase a home, or for new businesses to move in.

I've recently discovered what this mysteriously beautiful, intriguing building is all about. Having…read moredriven by it several times, and noticing the art installation and gardens, I was curious but never had a good reason to stop by and investigate. However, ever since I started following Art Equals on social media, I discovered that there are events open to public inside the Hellman Creative Center. It's not just Artist Studios, as the sign would suggest. And, as it turns out, I am a big fan! Open, inviting, and clean, the inside of this historic building has been beautifully renovated. There is a large meeting/conference room just off the lobby. Beyond that, there are artists' studios and a small kitchenette. I attended a Zine Lab with Art Equals and had a fantastic time learning about Zines and creating one of my one. Stop by and take part in this excellent addition to the art scene in Covington.

Located on Fisk in West Covington, on corner of W. MLK Boulevard, you might notice the street art…read moreincorporated into the black metal fencing on their lot. This building was originally a sawmill and has been beautifully redesigned as a community space, spot for artists, and people who do good in the community (refugee settlement, help with taxes, cross-cultural training, learning how to respond to conflict, etc.). My favorite space, besides the community rooms, is Empower Tools. This is a free service for those with a Kenton County library card. An individual can rent tools for their art, lawn, home repair, moving supplies, or pruning needs. You have up to 3 tools for a week, without the need to maintain them. Perfect for someone like me who struggles with all the oils and fine tuning of home equipment!

Hellman Creative Center - I could photograph this building all day. Covington does a great job of saving historic structures.
