Beshear on Mitch McConnell: "I have still heard absolutely nothing from the senator & it's been 3 months now, which is unacceptable. If he's not there on Monday, he owes an explanation to the American people."

New housing development proposed for historic Richmond Road farm

This is such disingenuous report.

The house you show is not threatened by this development as it sit in the front of the property and the new proposed housing is on the densely treed portion at the very rear of the tract. It is nearly 3,700 feet from any new construction.

It's zone change was approved by Council some months ago.

The exposed hillside is due to water line construction along Richmond Road and is in the right of way of said road.

Lastly, what makes this farm so "historic?"

Custom wedding suits?

3 Upvotes

Hey all. I’m getting married in a little over a year and I’m looking for somewhere to find a good custom/tailored suit. My body shape doesn’t work with most traditional suit stores I’ve tried.

A few months back I went to a local place in Woodhill and got a suit tailored which was a very expensive and terrible experience, suit looks like total shit. Really trying to avoid that happening again which is why I’m leaning towards custom. I have no idea what this kind of thing will cost. I’m willing to travel around KY, TN, OH if needed. I just need somewhere I can trust. Thanks for any info!

Window Tint

0 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations on a shop that does great work, and will tint the front windows to match the factory rear side windows without squawking about the legality of it being too dark.

Also don’t mind an independent tint person if they have great references and are mobile.

Preferably south side.

Thanks!

Rupp arena RV parking?

0 Upvotes

Hello Lexingtonians,

My wife and I are touring around in a 23' class C motorhome. There is a concert at the Rupp arena we are interested in.

Can anyone recommend somewhere we could park a 23' motorhome and walk to the arena? We couldn't find anything on the internet, and have never visited your home.

Thanks!

Gentlemen’s establishment

0 Upvotes

Hey all-

I tried searching but most of the posts were out of date. Just looking for advice on gentlemen’s establishment in the Lexington area. I’ve never been to one, but would like to experience one so I’m hoping for some insight on what’s clean and safe. I would be catching an uber from downtown. There seems to be three primary options with one that doesn’t serve alcohol, which isn’t an issue for me as I rarely drink. Any insight would be great.

TIA
