I would like to wrap up my experience as serving on my grand jury experience here. Just today, I…read moreactually had overslept and I had to quickly put in my appeal, after calling back to the court. The admin, Cindy, had told me to email back and the judge was to decide my options. Thankfully, he released me from ever having to serve this year and I am so appreciative of that ( I was actually waiting to call back and see how the response would come- in a form of a summons O_o, a bench warrant :O?). Nope, just an email (see these are the things they do not tell you- you kind of fear it.) Honestly, I have to say that this was such a great experience and I have to thank all those prosecutors, who I interacted with and willingly to allow me into their cases. I feel that I am just a mere citizen of this city, I do not have any degrees in law and yet I had such a big responsibility for the last three days, or so I felt (April 2nd, 3rd and 9th) ! I would also like to thank the judge (forget his last name), the admin, and all who were involved in this experience. Who would have thought a release? I would have been fine with a "do not do it again." I have to say he was a pretty cool judge, he never really cared when we never stood up on the "all rise" as he entered (then again, there was no bailiff neither, so no one actually said it). I still did, it's so old school, like the Twilight Zone, that it would be a crime not to O_o (actually, I read somewhere that one COULD BE in Contempt of Court, if not doing so- not sure how that applies today) Thanks again Fayette County Circuit!

They have some neat fountains outside that sometimes the kids play in during warmer weather. There are also some undesirables hanging out around outside that can make a person feel uneasy but parking can usually be found in the garage across from or on the side street with a short walk.

The judges here are really awful. I hate to say it. From Traci Brislin to Denotra Spruill Gunther…read more They have no business working in the courts or being public officials. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs. They don't care about any of the cases brought before them and will do nothing. Traci denies restraining orders to women who need them. It was all over the news a few years ago. A woman died because of it. Shame on Traci Brislin, what a disgrace to the bench. How does she even feel after that? I bet it makes no difference to her. Good luck dealing with Denotra. She will talk over you and not listen to anything you say. She barely knows or understands the law as it is; just another Ketanji Brown Jackson. I once saw an attorney roll his eyes at her, when his back was turned away, after she finished giving some outlandish reason why she could not accept a sworn affidavit. God help us all.

Beautiful! It was also clear that this is a "living library" -- with many patrons (including school students), signs for community events, and Ask a Librarian research assistance.

The Mary Todd Lincoln House is a beautifully preserved window into the early life of a complex First Lady and the turbulent times she lived through. We opted for the guided tour, and it was absolutely the right choice. Phillip was our guide, and he didn't just recite facts. He gave perspective. Thoughtful, objective, and deeply knowledgeable, he handled the complicated dynamics of a slave-owning border state with grace and clarity. He was also incredibly kind in his portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln, helping us see her not as a caricature, but as a layered, resilient, and deeply human figure. Each room is meticulously curated. Not every item was original to the Todd or Lincoln families, but everything was period appropriate and helped tell the story. The artifacts weren't just on display. They became part of the narrative, which made it all the more engaging. What surprised me most was how much the visit made me reflect on grief ... her profound losses, her perseverance, and the emotional weight she carried as First Lady during the Civil War. It gave me a new respect for her. And even better? My wife, who is not a big history buff, was the one who suggested we go, and she loved it. That says a lot. The whole tour ran a little over an hour and was the perfect pace. Despite the unseasonably hot June day, the air conditioning kept us comfortable, and the staff were welcoming from start to finish. Bonus points for the gift shop, it's small, but full of genuinely cool and thoughtful items. Well worth the money. Perfect for history buffs, curious minds, and even the skeptics. Educational, immersive, and honest. This isn't just a house. It is a home full of stories. And thanks to Phillip, we walked out with a deeper understanding of the people and times that shaped a presidency and a nation.

Parking lot is small and tight, with overflow parking available next door.
