Dirt! The Movie at Community Cinema March 18, 2010

There are a couple words that I have a Pavlovian response to when I hear them. For example when I hear the name of a beloved friend’s ex I immediately say “X is cold.” And when anyone mentions beets I always instantly say “Beets taste like dirt.” I can’t help myself, the words just come [...]

Shop and Eat to Benefit Haiti at Westport Village

The shops and restaurants of Westport Village (which I still contend is in the East End) are dedicating a night of food and shopping for Haiti. Each store and restaurant will be donating a portion of their proceeds from the evening of March 18 to Hope for Haiti. B and I very well may have [...]

Consuming Louisville Goes to the East End

I’m so behind on writing this wrap up of my East End Neighborhood tour. Buying a house, moving, serious renovation, a couple big speaking gigs, a big work project and Snowpocalypse version 1, 2 & 3 will apparently wreak havoc on my schedule. Things are calming down a bit now though so I’m finally getting [...]

Community Cinema Presents: The Eyes of Me

Community Cinema is doing some really good, really inspiring stuff at Fern Creek High School. For example this Thursday February 18 they’ll be showing The Eyes of Me and hosting a discussion with Kenny Jones from the Kentucky School for the Blind.
How do you see yourself, when you can’t see at all? At the Texas [...]

The Comfy Cow

There’s a new ice cream place in town. Called The Comfy Cow, it’s located in Westport Village. All the ice cream flavors and specialty sundaes on their menu sound delicious of course but it’s this blurb from the about section of their website that really has me excited:
We at The Comfy Cow believe we have [...]

Support Jefferson Memorial Forest By Shopping!

I’ve never been to Amazing Green Planet have you? I’m pretty sure I’d like the merchandise they sell and they’re obviously nice people since they’re helping Jefferson Memorial Forest out, so I’ll need to go check them out soon. 

Amazing Green Planet will donate 15% of the proceeds from all of its sales on Saturday, December [...]

Bank Street Brewhouse, Something to Cross the River For

My friend Courtney tells me I need to visit her side of the river more often and I know she’s right. The one time we made it over to New Albany to have dinner with her and her family we had a really great time and great meal at La Rosita. The next time we [...]

Have Qdoba for Lunch, Do Some Good and Maybe Win an Ipod

Alright East Enders this one is just for you. On Friday the recently remodeled Qdoba at the Summit is having a party to celebrate their reopening. All day on Friday November 13 they’ll be giving away free entrees to random loyalty card members and giving away some prizes. The real kicker though is that they’ll [...]

Local Boy Makes Good, Good French Wine That Is

I got a note from Louisville native winemaker John Bojanowski that he’ll be doing a pouring this Friday November November 6 (5-7pm) to do a pouring at Liquor Barn Springhurst. He tells me it’s the first time his wines have made it back home to Kentucky.
John gave me a little backstory on how he [...]
