Ranked

The 2025 Best Cities list just dropped and Louisville isn’t on the list. What gives? Let us know where you think Louisville should have ranked and why.

The Hope Mills Water Tower that once stood over Germantown + Shelby Park has been torn down due to a lack of structural integrity. See pictures + video of the demolition process, which took about a week.

Number

We know Louisville loves to volunteer — when we asked you back in September, over 50% said they volunteer once a week or more. There’s plenty of places looking for volunteers around Derby City, but here’s just one more.

The Louisville Pride Foundation is seeking a reliable volunteer to help stock, clean, and organize its food pantry once or twice a week. Email Sydni Hampton to apply.
