LouCity had a big off-season, signing reigning USL Championship Defender of the Year Arturo Ordóñez and several other talented players,” he said. “Can they make an impact right away? I’m excited to see how the team gels and if they can make this 10th anniversary season one to remember.”

News Notes

The funds benefit 14 different community projects, including $1.6 million to install lighting at four I-65 underpasses downtown + $1 million for a community space in the Russell neighborhood.
Drink
  • A new brewpub will soon be on tap in the Highlands. Hull Street Brew Pub is planned for 524-532 Baxter Ave., near Gravely Brewing, according to paperwork filed with the Metro government. Plans also include an event space + three short-term rental properties. An opening timeline is TBD. (Louisville Business First)

Seasonal
  • The first day of spring isn’t until Tuesday, March 19, but don’t tell the flowers around Louisville. Blossoms are sprouting up all over town, including these snowdrops at Iroquois Park. Park officials say the flowers are not native to the LOU area, but do not behave in an invasive way.

☕️ LOU’s newest brew

Phalcha Coffee is open in Louisville’s Germantown

In case you missed it, LOUtoday is asking our readers to help determine Louisville’s best coffee shop. Today, though, we’ve got a spot that was just a bit too new to brew its way into the field this time around.

Phalcha Coffee held its grand opening over the weekend at 1001 Mary St. in Germantown.

Here are a few things to try:
  • Phalcha offers typical warm coffee drinks, like cortados, macchiatos, and cappucinos.
  • The iced coffee flight features matcha, butterscotch, ube and strawberry-rose lattes.
  • The food menu includes avocado toast, a grilled cheese sandwich, and waffles served with syrup or other sweet toppings like fruit + nutella.
  • Rather than warm up with a cup of joe, you can cool off with ice cream — there are five flavors, sold by the scoop.
Phalcha Coffee is open daily, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
The Buy
The Lavender Fields Eye Pillow Set. With items like the crystal-infused lavender eye pillow and crystal-infused sleep mist, we’re dreaming of better sleep this week after Daylight Savings.

From the editor
It’s a sneak preview of spring this week, LOU. Warm temps, but with a chance for rain Thursday and Friday. I’m feeling like Al Pacino at the Oscars today — my eyes see sunshine.
