Lexington really seems to ‘get’ what it means to live downtown and is opening downtown grocery stores. Unfortunately, Lexington neither has a real downtown nor is is it “urban,” but this is nice to see happening. [H-L]
Kentucky State Parks are offering all kinds of discounts during the month of May. Take them up on these great offers. [State Parks]
The future of Metro Animal Services will soon be determined. Unfortunately, Greg Fischer has no flipping clue what he’s doing and no one has any faith at this point. He and his right hands, Sadiqa and Allison, continue to allow the place to rot. Something SERIOUS needs to change. [FOX41]

Too bad J. Bruce Miller can’t get those people supposedly willing to chip in on an NBA team to chip in some money to get Kentucky Kingdom re-opened. That dried up a lot of the teenage jobs when it closed. Bruce could tell them that if they funded and re-opened Kentucky Kingdom, the teenagers would have more money to spend on those Louisville Hornets or whatever merchandise.
Heck, they could turn it into a NBA basketball-themed park and have a year-round revenue stream (or at least have a good advertising gimmick for the new team). If they get the Sacramento team, they could call it Kentucky Kings-dom. :-)
