Editor’s Pick

Women’s History Month is here, and we’re looking to highlight the Louisville women who have made, or are making, history. We’re planning profiles on paralympic athlete Oksana Masters + sculptor Enid Yandell, but we also want to hear from you.
Which Louisville women do you want to know more about? Whose stories do you want to see shared? Drop us a line and let us know.
Sometimes it’s the details that make a home: Wired surround sound in the family room, a beverage chiller in the kitchen, and outdoor gas hookups for grilling. All these and more await you in this East End home.

History
Paleontologists recently discovered a new species of Spinosaurus in the Sahara desert. They believe the dinosaur lived roughly 95 million years ago and weighed up to seven tons. There’s no need to travel across the world to uncover our planet’s history — take advantage of the oncoming warm weather to explore the Falls of the Ohio fossil beds. (Reuters)

Reading about a new dinosaur discovery has me wanting to revisit Dinosaur World, which I haven’t been to since I was a kid. I don’t remember if there’s a spinosaurus model there, and if there is I’m sure it’s not very scientifically accurate, but I think that’s what makes it special.
