News Notes

Eat

If Kentucky was a sandwich, what would it be? If you said the hot brown, you agree with Chowhound’s list of “The Most Iconic Sandwich in Each State.” Was there ever any doubt?

Tech

Instagram now lets you schedule direct messages. If we could, we’d schedule a DM to you, asking to give us a follow on the ‘gram. Where else are you going to see the news that Louisville is the No. 11 best city in the nation?

Trivia

Calling all historians, APUSH students, and know-it-alls. Have you put your knowledge of US trivia to the test by taking our dang-near-impossible quiz? Go ahead and try to get a perfect score, we dare you.

Holiday

January is both National Hot Tea Month and National Soup Month. Makes sense — winter is a great time for warm liquid. Might we recommend these local spots to enjoy tea?

City Guide

It’s Capricon season in LOU

The Sagittarians have had their time — as December ends and the new year begins, it’s Capricorn season here in Louisville. Let’s take a look at how our neighborhoods align with the zodiac signs.

Capricorn: Downtown | Dec. 22- Jan. 19

With how hardworking you are, you’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of spots in Downtown Louisville to network and work remotely. After work, you can stop at the Palace Theatre for a concert or the KFC Yum! Center for a ballgame — and on your way you can always count on a friendly face to say hello or lend a helping hand.

Aquarius: The Highlands | Jan. 20- Feb. 18

The unique businesses of the Highlands embody the eclectic nature of an Aquarius. From its various bars, to its boutique hotels, there’s something for nearly everyone in this vibrant neighborhood — and it’s always changing.
