News Notes

Closing

Civic

This year’s Brightside Community-Wide cleanup will be this Saturday, Oct. 18. Join a scheduled cleanup in your neighborhood or start your own. Bonus: you can work with Brightside to clean up your neighborhood all year round.

Drink

You might have seen Safai’s fall menu, but the coffee shop now also has a special Halloween menu. We have our eye on the Casper.

Seasonal

We’re less than two weeks away from peak fall colors in Louisville. If you’re looking for a place to get out and see some yellow and orange, the Parklands has you covered with seven locations to hike, sight-see, and snap some perfect photos.

Number

More than 50%. That’s how much Kentucky’s apple production has declined since the 1980s. As the industry faces difficult weather conditions and an aging population of orchard operators, some farmers are repurposing old tobacco farms. (Spectrum News 1)

Post of the Day

In case you missed it, librarian, literacy advocate, and the new host of “Reading Rainbow” was in Louisville over the weekend for the Louisville Book Festival. Mychal Threets visited the Western Branch Library to discuss its history as the first public library in the nation founded for and by a Black community. You read more about the branch in our “Check it Out” series — but you don’t have to take my word for it.

The Wrap

There’s always plenty of cultural activities to do in and around Louisville, but this Friday you have a unique opportunity to combine several un-b-lievable artists into one big day.

A new exhibit of art by Bosch and Bruegel opens this Friday at the Speed Museum. That night, the Louisville Orchestra will perform a concert of music by Beethoven and Brahms. If you attend both, I can guarantee you at least a B in art history.
