No one wants to answer my questions or return calls.
Multiple people tell me that around 12:00/12:30 today there was a fire truck and EMS on-site at the downtown arena. According to observers, workers were hanging out and milling around and it appeared that EMS was picking someone up.
Did something terrible happen? Was it [...]

Monday Morning Dept of Frankfort’s Screwing Us
February 22nd, 2010 · 11 Comments
Let’s just go ahead and say it: moving your business out of Louisville because you can’t get enough direct flights or find local financing is silly. I like Rob May, but come on. Surely he misspoke. If you’re a tech company, you’ve got the skills to travel way less. I fly just [...]

Dear Schneider DeMuth Advertising: Did you bother reading what we wrote last week? Is that why you continue sending blanket emails (that say “see release”) with gigantic attached images and Word docs? We didn’t use your company name last week out of respect. [...]

Your Friday Morning Dept of Snowpocalypsing?
January 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Maybe? Is there any snow on the ground there in Louisville this morning?
Brent Ackerson pulled his sponsorship of mayoral term limits because of concerns over possibly amendments that haven’t yet been vetted. I have reservations and concerns that we may now be rushing items that need detailed and thorough discussion. Additionally, I am concerned [...]

Monday Morning of Ignoring Our Crime Problem
January 4th, 2010 · 9 Comments
Louisville business owners say they want a strong, risk-taking mayor. And I especially love that Jonathan Blue took a swipe at Mayor McCheese. Guess it’s time to send him a thank-you gift for making the local business rag fun for a day. [Business First]

Do You Know Where Your Mayor Is This Morning?
December 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Jerry Abramson is in Washington, D.C. to participate in a Brookings Institution forum on sustainable communities. It’s a shame he’ll have no idea what he’s talking about. But I bet he screams that Louisville is the “16th largest city” about a thousand times. Or maybe he’ll talk about his record of killing local [...]
