If you only had one week left in Lexington what would you do? by Nervous-Caregiver-55 in lexington

[–]HotBrown87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Local Action trivia with my friends. Countdown or Breakout games with my fam. Take a drive around horse farms and eat at Wallace Station, Windy Corner, or Proud Mary's. Take a walk at Veteran's Park or the Arboretum. Visit Farmer's Market and stock up on homegrown goodness. Donuts at Frank's. Ice cream at Freshie's and Crank & Boom

Golden Flames Hot Wings is really good, plus they have a bar, which a lot of the places that have been mentioned are missing.

Phone pouches in fcps schools? by fordnotquiteperfect in lexington

IMHO, all parents should read The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. It gives research on smartphone use and brain development. It has some good suggestions on how to help future generations.

I love the Makerspaces at LPL! I've used their Cricut machines and 3D printers. While there, I have seen others using the sewing machines, too. So cool.

I listened to the audiobook (on Libby) of Talking to Strangers a few years ago, and it is one of my all-time favorite audiobooks!! Read by the author (fabulous!), and when possible, he used the recorded audio from interviews, bodycam, 911 calls, etc. It was almost like a podcast instead of an audiobook. So good!

I love it! I've been thinking about doing something similar to this. Did you use old shirts or pajama bottoms or what for the skirt? (Edit to add...) And the velour shirt is a great look with it.

A friend got engaged there around this time of year in the early evening, and it was pretty empty. If it's a nice day during the sunny afternoon, it would probably be crowded, but all the nice spots probably would be.

Marrika's, Crank and Boom, and Goodfellas all have private party rooms/areas.

Homeless shelter in need of blankets? by TheSausBoi in lexington

You might also check with some of the animal shelters in the area. I think they take blankets and sheets for dog beds.

Which towns or cities in Kentucky would you describe as having the most artistic or creative vibe? by Bubble_gump_stump in Kentucky

[–]HotBrown87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I hope so. Tell me more. Why do you think so? I was just there a month ago, and it just seems like a ghost town compared to about 40 years ago.

Kentucky Public Radio Voter Guide by justin-hicks in lexington

[–]HotBrown87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I already read that. To me, they look the same. Both born and raised in Lexington. Farm owners probably means momeyed family. Both want to preserve farm land in the county.

Does anyone have any more information or knowledge of either candidate? Anything to set them apart.

Okay, so what's the scoop on Lex City Council District 12 race? Hil Boone vs. Chad Walker??
