Registration is now open for the Louisville Zoo’s summer camps. This year, the Zoo will offer camps for kids in pre-K through 6th grade, with different themes for each age bracket. Here are a few of the camps your kids can sign up for:
The most expensive US whiskey sale ever — a bottle of 1982 Old Rip Van Winkle 20 Year Old Single Barrel — recently sold for ~$162,000 in New York City. You won’t need pockets anywhere near as deep at one of Louisville’s happy hours. (Southern Living)
Eat
Tomorrow, Feb. 17, is Mardi Gras, the annual pre-Lent celebration set to take over streets across the world. If you aren’t joining the 1.4 million expected visitors at the country’s biggest celebration in New Orleans, you can get a taste of the fun with some Cajun cuisine at Lou Lou.
Mansion Monday
Britney Spears recently sold the rights to her entire music catalog for an estimated $200 million. For considerably less money, you could buy this recently listed home with 7,000+ sqft of living space, a marble staircase with hand-forged steel railings, and a spa-inspired bath. (NBC News)
Stat
Six months. That’s how long the average job search takes nowadays, and last summer, job seekers outnumbered job openings for the first time since 2021. Need a hand finding your next role? Start exploring opportunities. (The Wall Street Journal)
Travel
Planning an escape to Greece? You’re in good company — it’s the top-searched international destination for spring breakers in Tennessee. If you’re flying out of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what to know before you head to the terminal.
Real Estate
Stability is in style. US homeowners are setting new records for staying put, with the average homeowner now living in their house for about nine years. While your moving boxes gather dust, who says you can’t have a little fun browsing Louisville’s real estate? (Axios)
Number
$0. That’s how much 94% of Nourish patients pay out of pocket to talk to a dietitian covered by their insurance. You could be covered, too — check your coverage + get matched with a dietitian who can cut through the food noise and build you a plan to thrive.*
Learn
Garden design, color theory, calligraphy, portrait photography, embroidery. These are just a handful of the expert-led, creative classes available on Skillshare, an online learning community recognized by The New York Times and Forbes. Start a one month free trial + dive into new skills.*

The Buy
Tired of being … tired? You’re not alone. For millions of people over 35, the problem isn’t stress, late nights, or a busy schedule — it’s mineral deficiency. That’s where Organixx Magnesium 7 comes in. The doctor-formulated supplement features seven highly absorbable forms of magnesium to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep through the night, and wake up feeling well-rested.
Last week, I asked you your favorite thing about Louisville — here’s what one reader had to say:
“I’m not originally from Louisville, but have lived down here for 4 years now. There are many things that I enjoy about Derby City. But if I had to name just one, I think I’d have to say….bourbon!!! The amount and the prices are incredible. Can’t get it anywhere else!!” — Angela D.
Maybe if we all pool our pennies, we can buy Angela a bottle of that $162,000 Rip Van Winkle.
