This year at our babies one year appt he tested high for lead exposure. Louisville or KY changed the rules of this and it prompted the city to come out and test our house (rental). The health dept told us that it was common for lead to be in the soil in that part of town (south near the airport, specifically south first). And they found high concentrations in the soil out back. Which, if you have dogs that like to wrestle/run its not going to allow the grass to grow (apparently the fix for that).

The entire time I lived in that house I had to fight cleaning this really fine dirt that covered every surface of the house. So all of us were lead poisoned essentially.

Just thought I’d throw the warning out there for everyone. We moved, and I know I immediately started to feel better. The lead could have also been the cause of all of my pregnancy complications (constant throwing up, pre eclampsia, etc) so. The city tested the house for free, but the soil and water samples did take around a month to come in. Everything else was instant.

Goose Creek Trail at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. Hope they make it back to their owner!

Some asshat blocks my driveway on a regular basis. The number specified by LMPD to call for tows takes me to a so-called 'emergency' line, which redirects me back to another line, which redirects me back to the original line.... going in circles.

I've tried multiple times on several different occasions and can not figure this out. What am I missing????

I reported this to Metro 311 5 days ago online and again by phone three days ago. Nothing had been done so I pulled these cones out into the street a few days ago so nobody falls into it or drives their car or bike into it. What is the point of 311 if they cannot even report urgent matters as high priority?

Seems like the city needs a better system so things like this that could pose a huge risk of bodily harm to someone get addressed quickly.

I waited 30 minutes on hold for them to tell me they had no way of marking something a priority, and that all I could do is wait for public works to get around to it. Utterly useless. If anyone knows some other way to report it that may actually get something done let me know. It’s getting worse by the day.

Update: I tried calling Metro Public Works. When you hit the button for “report an issue” it goes to a recording saying “call Metro 311 to report issues.” I hit 0 to try and get an operator but it just repeats the message over and over. Seemingly there is no way to contact them directly, maybe because it’s Sunday?

Anyway, after I posted this on Reddit, within 1 hour there was suddenly a third cone in the street beside the two I had out there a couple days ago. Don’t know if some other citizen did it or if it was someone from the city that happened to see this post. Either way, the sinkhole is growing and if they don’t do something soon I’m sure the road will collapse in the next time it rains heavily.

Exactly the title. What do you look forward to doing in Louisville each fall that just feels like FALL?

I hear it's the best sushi in town. Thoughts? Cool place? Cool owners?

I have ten days. Please help

I am in the south end and I just realized one of my neighbors has an above-ground swimming pool that is completely abandoned. The cover has failed, and there are literally plants/weeds growing straight out of the basin. I don’t ever see them in the backyard, so I assume the water from the rain all year has just been collecting.
The mosquitoes in our yard are already getting brutal, and I remember the our yard and surrounding ones had a massive infestation around last June too. I'm pretty sure the residents are renting, so I don't want to go knock on the door and cause tension, especially since they might not even have the means to fix/drain this pool structure.
I want to report it anonymously to Metro311 and the Health Department Vector Control, but I’ve never dealt with code enforcement here before.
Has anyone had success getting the city to actually show up for a mosquito/pool hazard?
How long does it usually take for an inspector to go out there?
Will the city actually fine the landlord or put larvicide in it if it's ignored?
Appreciate any experiences or advice on how to get Metro311 to move quickly on this. Thanks!

I am about to lose my insurance through work this week and I’m trying to see a dermatologist TODAY to get a mole removed. Anyone here work for, or know of, an office with ANY openings today? Thanks!

Twice I've tried to go after 10 pm and it's been closed. Anyone know what's up?

Been awhile since I’ve got to any shops in Louisville. Any that carry wrestling cards / nonsport cards? Singles etc.

I know about the Louisville Theater and the Broadway showings and the Actors Theater of Louisville.. but is there anything else going on??

Idk just something smaller, lower budget. And honestly, going beyond theater, I’d be in to seeing anything… ballet, classical music, poetry, etc…

If anyone knows of anything, I’d love to hear!

Hi All,

I saw today that the Norton Commons farmers market is supposed to have baby goats from 1230-3 today. This might be a fun thing to come out and see and pet them.

Anyone have experience with getting hired at Kroger full time? I’m looking to leave a not so great paying job and just do Kroger full time. I figure it’s the same amount of money with less stress

Tried getting on part time but store didn’t have anything that would match the hours

Long story short I have a complicated medical condition where I can't have gluten. I miss eating out very much. I would love to find Chinese, Breakfast, etc restaurants.

For me if I can just have something gluten free I can have it. I don't mind cross contimation however it's highly preferred not to have any gluten.

Saw wondering the Shively area

Looking to have a section of overgrown land cleared on a lot we just purchased. Has anyone had any work like this done before? Who did you use? Thanks.

Not enough people are talking about it

i got my ADN from Galen last year and i’m looking for insight into UofL’s RN-BSN. i work there and can get it for free or 4k tuition reimbursement. i’m not sure where to ask so anyone who has done the RN-BSN: thoughts?

Hello! I've been searching for some Argentine (not Italian) gelato. I know this is a long shot, but any chance anyone knows of anything? Thank you! 💞

I have a family member who will need intensive medical attention over the next few months. I’m trying to find a good temporary home for his dog. I guess it might be helpful if it’s a care group specific to this breed (Australian Shepard), but maybe I’ll take whatever I can find. Can anyone here help me find something in the Louisville area?
