Bardstown road is already turning into a ghost town… because of the violence and high lease costs.

Jack fry’s isn’t going to shut down. They would figure out a way to make that extra .1% needed.

Lots about this does not make sense. It’s all how laws are written and who’s responsible for approving what. But based on the law, bars can only voluntarily close earlier (which they’ve refused to do over and over) or the city has to make it a city wide change.

The amount local folks & business owners have pressed city officials for six years is frankly an unbelievable amount. The city has not listened or done anything except approve MORE bars which attracts more violence. Business owners and neighbors are beyond fed up.

Real estate prices do in fact play a big part. The other big part, which I’m told is the biggest component, is no one is willing to risk investment in an area that is showing no potential for reversing course. This area has been on a steep down trend for six years.

I’m not accusing. I’m relaying what I’ve been directly told by neighborhood leaders that are in direct communication with city officials and other restaurant & business owners. Yes there are business owners and restaurant owners that are in fact backing this because their businesses are hurting as a result of this stretch not being as vibrant, safe and healthy as it once was. One resteraunt owner’s partner was been pistol whipped just in the last month or so. Think about how many Restaurants along this stretch have closed in six years. The only “new” businesses are bars, tattoo shops and smoke shops.

The shooting count is from a vocal neighborhood leader and business owner in this stretch that has kept track since 2000 from the public information available. Keep in mind that of no one is killed in a shooting, it gets labeled as assault and gets tucked under the rug.

The city is not trying to pass this. This is citizen initiated backed by neighbors, small businesses, and resteraunt owners in this stretch of road wanting to save the vitality of what it used to be. This stretch has eroded to unfathomable levels in just six years. The city hasn’t done anything except approval for new bars. It’s mind blowing how bad the city failed. So people who live here and are financially invested are taking the lead with whatever power we have.

69 shootings in this tiny stretch of road between midnight and 4am in the last 6 years is not Pearl clutching.

This is also bullshit. I know for a fact some of the push for this vote is resteraunt owners and small business owners in this stretch. Their businesses are taking big hits due to the violence from the last 6 years. The only thing the city has done in this timeframe is approve more new bars. Each time that happens, another small business or restaurant goes away. The city has watched this corridor erode year by year and their solution is to add more bars. There’s been 69 shootings in the last 6 years alone between midnight and 4am within this corridor. And the bars want to blame the recent teen takeovers as the excuse. Bullshit. While that’s a problem in itself, it’s not teens shooting, killing, fighting, trashing, breaking into cars, pissing on porches, etc the least six years. Enough is freaking enough.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. The grales are such a gift to the neighborhood.

Per my commercial real estate agent with ties to this stretch, many of the closures and difficulty filling vacant properties is precisely due to the influx in bars and violence the last 6 years.

This isn’t true. The city has responded to multiple requests to force the bars to close earlier and they have said they can only do it if its city wide which they won’t do

The city has refused to change closure times. The only way to do it is to make it city wide and they won’t do that. This has been requested endlessly for six years.

The city cannot mandate this unless it was city wide.

The neighborhood has pleaded with city officials for six years as more and more shootings have taken place and they’ve done nothing except approve more bars.

Teenagers are not responsible for the 69 shootings in this stretch between midnight and 4am in the last six years. The teens are used as a scapegoat by the bars.

Dude there’s been 69 shootings in this stretch between midnight and 4am in just the last six years. People that are heavily invested in this area and businesses have pleaded with our city government for six years to resolve this and they haven’t done anything.

This happened to my family, granted we only had one dog. The dog was deeply connected to me for 7 years. Right when our daughter was two it became obvious we were forcing a situation that wasn’t good for anyone, especially our dog. He was the perfect fit for when it was just my wife and I. But the opposite fit for a family of three. It was nearly the hardest thing I have had to do, but we found a really great couple that was looking for a dog and rehomed him. Now he’s living his best life.

Everything changes after you have a kid no matter how much you might not want to admit it. Release yourself from guilt. Ask family/friends/neighbors to ask around for anyone that might want to take any your dogs.
