News Notes

Biz

There have been some changes at Logan Street Market. Soda Bomb is now open, cold press juice shop 721 Mint It has expanded + there have been reports of loud noises and flashing lights by the brewery — we’re guessing it’s the pinball machines.

Seasonal

One of Louisville’s sister cities, La Plata, Argentina, is gearing up for an annual tradition called “the burning of Momos.” Hundreds of dolls are burned to let go of all the bad things from the year and make room for the new. Learn more about LOU’s other sister cities.

Sports

$140. That’s the average cost for a family of four to attend an MLB game, according to a study by MoneyGeek. All the more reason to love our minor league Louisville Bats. Purchase tickets for next season, starting with the home opener on Friday, March 28. Bonus: The Louisville Slugger Museum is waiving admission fees for children 12 and under Thursday, Dec. 26-Sunday, Jan. 5.

Number

$520,000. That’s the approximate income you need to make to be considered a one-percenter in Kentucky — compare that to the $1.22 million you need to make in Washington D.C. Factor that into the cost of living in Louisville. (Axios)

Travel

Seasons greetings from sunny Orlando, aka one of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) 12 Days of Christmas destinations. Start planning your next adventure to one of SDF’s 35+ nonstop destinations this holiday season — and follow along on Instagram for more exciting updates.*
