Germantown Mess A Lot Like Baxter Ave Past?

August 16th, 2010 · 12 Comments

The situation with Germantown bars over whether they have the right permits to let people drink their tasty beer outside.
You know what I’m talking about, right?
Doesn’t this remind everyone else about what occurred on Baxter Avenue after Fourth Street/Cordish/Jerry’s Menz went all crazy?
Sure, there were problems on Baxter with drunks being – gasp – drunk, [...]

Did Abramson Want CityBlock To Shut Down?

June 18th, 2010 · 16 Comments

A May 28 article in the Courier-Journal by Sheldon Shafer about Jerry Abramson’s spending has raised tons of questions.
I’m sure you all remember when Ward Plauche and crew had to shutter the doors of CityBlock because Metro Government wouldn’t work with them so they could stay in business. So we won’t rehash all of [...]

Cordish Loses Lawsuit Filed By Contractor

June 10th, 2010 · 11 Comments

The Cordish nightmare wrought upon Louisville by Jerry Abramson isn’t over. Don’t worry, your night sweats aren’t going to end any time soon.
It seems that Cordish is keen on taking millions upon millions of our tax dollars without a care in the world. When it comes to paying contractors, however, it’s not so [...]

Don’t Worry! Newspaper’s Fine! Ignore The Glitch!

May 3rd, 2010 · 3 Comments

C-J publisher Arnold Garson has printed an eight-page screed, adapted from a speech, about how “newspapers are better off than you may think.” Seriously. Eight pages trying to convince us that newspapers are okay. Despite, you know, reality. [You'll Love This]
What kind of electrical problem went down with the Courier-Journal’s printing presses [...]

LEO Weekly Offers Praise to Jim King

April 7th, 2010 · 4 Comments

There’s a first time for everything, I guess.
The latest from Phillip Bailey:
If there’s any good argument that can be conjured up to support Metro Councilman Jim King, D-10, for mayor of Louisville, it’s that he’s the best policymaker in the race — period.
-SNIP-
King said that under his administration, public works would simply prohibit Fourth Street [...]

Shannon White Attacks David Tandy On Video

March 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments

What’s that sound? Shannon White attacking David Tandy because she was part of Dress for Success or whatever? Nice to see Tandy’s opponents talking about his Cordish mess, though.
And she’s attacking Jim King and Hal Heiner, two folks who have consistently pushed for accountability and transparency as Metro Councilcritters?

The Entire Metro Government Audit Is Here

March 24th, 2010 · 24 Comments

And it is damning. All 212 pages of it. All 69 findings (what was that, Courier-Journal, about 30 findings? WFPL?).
This could be the beginning of the end of Jerry Abramson’s political career. No amount of spinning can cause the audit train to jump its tracks at this point.
The document we’re about [...]

More Cordish Fuel For The Conspiracy Fire

March 12th, 2010 · 8 Comments

Look familiar?

That’s the Cordish mall that won the slots bid over Laurel Park in Maryland.
And it further adds to my conspiracy theory that Cordish & Crew are way up Jerry Abramson’s you-know-what because they want gambling in Kentucky.

Monday Morning Makes Me Miss The Weekend

February 8th, 2010 · 4 Comments

Allow me to get personal for a moment: I think John Varanese is hands-down one of the best chefs in the city. Very rarely can I walk into a higher end establishment and ask the chef to prepare two vegetarian meals on the fly and actually get something worth eating. He and his [...]
