OMGosh, I'm ecstatic over this cheese!! I was visiting Lexington last weekend and was so excited…read moreto find a street fair happening near my hotel on Saturday morning. One of the booths was Boone Creek Creamery. Since I love cheese, I had to indulge and buy myself some! I love hot and spicy, so two of the flavors I got were "Sassy" (Sharp Cheddar with peppercorn and red pepper) and "Habanero" (Sharp White Cheddar with Habanero Peppers). Sassy was unexpectedly wonderful. Rather than hitting the tongue with heat, the heat was more in the back of the mouth and throat and lingered. No too much, but not too little either. Delicious. The Habanero on the other hand, exploded with heat from the initial bite. This one didn't hold back, it was full-on HOT! Way too often things that advertise Habanero try to be delicate... this cheese was not delicate in any way. It was HAWT!! And I'm a huge fan!! My third block is Blueberry White Cheddar. I haven't had any of it yet, but I have no doubt it will be epic! This was such a pleasant unexpected find. If you are in Lexington and like cheese... check them out. You won't be disappointed!!

He has put his knowledge into making some of the best small batch cheeses in the state. He begins with a local, grass fed milk. Only natural ingredients are added to the cheeses, including the dye which is derived flowers. They are creative with their recipes and their names. For example, my favorite Sassy Redhead gets its namesake from a dusting of paprika on top and it gets its kick from peppercorns, mustard seeds and red pepper flakes. Abbey Road is an English cheddar smattered with sun dried tomatoes. The Kentucky Derby is a derby style cheddar with a hint of bourbon. Did you know his cheese is lactose fre You and the kids will enjoy a tour where you not only learn a few things but have lots of fun sampling and trying on cheese hats. They create cheese trays for parties and you can often find them at the Lexington Farmers Market where you can sample before you buy.

As a Yelper, of course I had to stop and take photos and write a review. But what was this building? To my surprise, it was a water pump station! It is the Metro Sewer District's 4th Street Pump Station, and in 2021, the eyesore of a pump station was transformed by artist Whitney Olsen with her mural "Waterfall". What a cool idea!

This complete building wrapped mural is the metropolitan sewer dump (msd) pump for the downtown 4th street area. It has kinda sat there in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of downtown Lousiville for years. Until artist Whitney Olsen created this beautiful mural in July of 2021 and called it "waterfall". The artist does a great job and uses all kinds of soothing and vibrant colors. Really makes what was just some random looking pump station stick out and noticeable. Overall a great addition to the ever growing public art of not only the downtown Bourbon district of the city but the entire city as a whole. Easy to find. Anyone local has been downtown for an event and stuck in traffic in theirs area. So it provides a pretty traffic view at minimum.

I'm not sure the reasoning or artist behind this piece but like many pieces int the very close almost distance it is down very Well. My theory which could be wrong is Lousiville has always been described as having three different areas or points. We have a east end, west end and south end. So I think that it may be a tribute to that. Could be wrong though. Overall very nice piece of public art.

The together our future is bright is even a clever name to play along with the theme.

Jeffersonville is a historic city directly to the north of Louisville, Kentucky on the Indiana…read moreside. The city sits on the Ohio River and has an interesting history and architecture. The city was founded when the area was part of the Virginia Territory, before Indiana was a state (about 1800). The location on the Ohio River made the town important for maritime trade. We found the architecture interesting with a mix dating back to the 1800's up to Mid Century Modern. The former Beaux-Arts style Carnegie Library was particularly beautiful with its bronze dome. A nice tenant at the library invited us in to tour the remodeled interior. The classic portrait of Carnegie stands prominent. Historic Warden Park is a small park with a Veterans Memorial, gazebo and a statue of the city's name sake, Thomas Jefferson. The waterfront has been revitalized with an amphitheater. The former Big 4 Railroad Bridge has been converted to a pedestrian bridge, so people can walk from Jefferson across the Ohio River into Louisville, Kentucky. There are several waterfront restaurants with great views of the beautiful river. The setting is peaceful and we enjoyed walking along the waterfront. A historical marker describes how Jeffersonville was an important hub for the Underground Railroad, offering passage to points North and freedom for enslaved individuals. Jeffersonville is worth a visit if you like history in a beautiful setting without the crowds. We found free street parking throughout the city.

La Grange is about a 30 minute drive from Louisville and is a great place to spend the day. Parking is plentiful along Main and other streets.
The OTHER World's Largest BAT [Louisville KY]…read more There is a lot of public art to discover throughout Louisville... among the ones I saw were The Barrel, Statue of David, Jennifer Lawrence Hometown Hero Banner, and now this Caufield's vampire bat... the bat's black silhouette stands out against the red brick exterior of Caufield's Novelty building. I wonder if its bulging red eyes were designed to light up at night. This is the second giant bat to make its way to Louisville's Main Street (The Louisville Slugger baseball bat is the first). They are both just a couple of blocks apart. Caufield's is a novelty shop. They specialize in unique Halloween costumes or festive New Year's Eve party favors and it has been a local favorite since the 1920s. Review #3904

They use bright orange and green to make a vibrant message. So many individuals have made a difference in our culture. Mohammad Ali was born here. In fact you can visit his childhood home and burial place. The city celebrates the past with the architecture that inspired the creation of Louisville so many years ago. The breath of the past lives on through the artifacts of that time has forgotten. These places and their history is here awaiting you to discover them.
