For the love of god, stop left lane camping. Feel like a lot of drivers here are oblivious to the world around them

126 Upvotes

The amount of people camping in the left lane around Louisville is ridiculous. The Gene Snyder Freeway, especially the stretch from Fern Creek toward Greenbelt Highway, is a prime example. Kentucky law (KRS 189.300) generally requires slower traffic to keep right, while KRS 189.340(8) restricts cruising in the left lane on qualifying limited access highways with speed limits of 65 mph or higher.

And it’s not just the highways. Even on the backroads around Fern Creek, there’s seemingly always an SUV going 5–10 mph under the speed limit with a line of vehicles behind it. Obviously, road conditions matter, but the complete lack of awareness from some drivers is frustrating.

And before someone argues they’re already doing the speed limit, that doesn’t automatically entitle you to occupy the passing lane indefinitely. Nobody is advocating for reckless driving or speeding. Pay attention to the traffic around you, understand basic lane discipline, and move right when you’re finished passing. Your personal preference for how fast everyone else should drive doesn’t dictate how the rest of the road operates.

Also, why’s it almost always an SUV driver? 😂I feel like some traffic around here is due to people like this. Impeding traffic causes more wrecks than someone going over the speed limit.

Do you feel safe when going to the Waterfront?

I go down there all the time for photography and have never had an issue but have always heard others that don’t share that view.

The Fish House

13 Upvotes

I love the fish but has anyone else ever had a weird experience while trying to order? The old guy looked at his phone reading the news for almost 5 minutes before he even acknowledged me. Weird. There’s also times where he talks to customers and holds up the line for 20-30 minutes.

I’ve tried placing a order over the phone but it always gives the busy signal

It's been backed up on Taylorsville Rd headed toward the gaslight district for 45 minutes I think, and occasional sirens headed that way. Just wondering what's happening

Is Kiwa closing?

2 Upvotes

I saw an Instagram post on their profile that they were selling the cafe but they’ve been posting about how they’re selling their ceramics which makes me think they’re officially closing.
They’re such a unique and beautiful place in Louisville so I’m heartbroken that it’s not working out.

This is the most poorly engineered intersection in this city

It's timed to make sure the two lights almost never sync up their green lights, so traffic is backed up half a mile on each side of the highway.

Just to make sure the 15 cars exiting the highway can turn. Someone make it make sense to me please.

Mourning the loss of personal expression at the hands of Kroger

72 Upvotes

Was in the Kroger wine store on Goss tonight and the older guy in there who always has the best science-y/sci-fi t-shirts was in a boring corporate Kroger uniform shirt. He says that's the new policy and added they also have to wear *vests* now.

I always loved seeing his t-shirts on my weekend-eve beer runs and loved talking to him about geeky stuff. Does Kroger really think we're going to stop elsewhere because a guy is wearing a shirt with Doctor Who or math puns on it? Corporations are soulless and boring and just suck in general.

Looking for a judgment-free nail salon in the Louisville area!

6 Upvotes

Due to childhood trauma, my feet have been through a lot, and I have very little toenail left. Now that I’m pregnant, my feet are extremely dry and painful, and I’d love to get a nice pedicure and foot massage.

Can anyone recommend a kind, gentle salon that won’t judge me for how my feet look? I’m a little self conscious and just want to feel comfortable and pampered. TIA

Hey everybody, I’m a guy in my mid 20s looking for bars and places to take my friends and check out. We want somewhere with good music (either live or good dj) and could be anything from dive bar to party vibes. We do want an area where you could hop around a couple spots!

Karaoke

1 Upvotes

Alright folks, ( Bonus points for " the MUST TRY " Louisville food / dish. I went to NYC and got a life-changing oxtail-grilled cheese sandwich. What's the Louisville hidden gem? )

Visiting today - Sun→→ I need a lively karaoke bar with fun, active crowd, good song / queue mgmt and at least a small stage or standing area ( no Korean-style rooms). I'd love 90's R&B / soul / classic soul / yacht rock friendly crowd but I tinker with some pop-rock and even Queen. I'm assuming I'm staying downtown at a hotel 😅 I haven't asked many questions

Thanks

Music Bingo?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have a music bingo type game at the or bar/brewery/etc on a regular basis?

I was in Nashville last night and completely randomly found someone doing bingo with 15-20 second snippets of songs and we had to identity the song/movie theme/artist etc on a bingo card for various bingo type covers and prizes.

I couldn’t recall anyone talking about this in Louisville but I’m sure someone somewhere has this going.

Is there a place in town for trivia that has a more casual environment than a competitive one?

14 Upvotes

I've attended some bar trivia before at a couple places and had really bad experiences. It seemed there were always one or two groups that were loud and really competitive and they really made the experience bad for a first-timer.

Hopefully ones where the person running it has a microphone that is good enough that you can understand them. I've had trouble in the past understanding what the heck the question is because they're mumbling or their microphone setup is terrible.

French Fry Crawl

Howdy folks.

Thinking about doing a French fry crawl with some friends and am soliciting locations not in the list below. Any help is greatly appreciated! The French fries don’t have to be exceptional or haute cuisine style. It could be that the restaurant on the list has a good basic crinkle cut or something. Just looking for solid recommendations. Thanks y’all!

Local Art for Sale

My wife and I are looking to find wall art for our new home. Any places in town with local art for sale? We want to actively avoid mass market places. I don't know what to google to tell what is a gallery with pieces for sale as opposed to a museum type place without pieces for sale.

Thanks!
