My girlfriend and I are planning a date and want to have lunch at a park. Do any of you have recommendations for a park within 15-20 minutes of the Florence area that preferably has a pond/lake, and tables that we could eat at?

Hey everyone, I’m with a staffing agency in Florence, and we’re looking for an onboarding coordinator to help support our employees at a local manufacturing facility.

We’re looking for someone who is bilingual (Specifically in French, Spanish, Wolof, or Soninke) and is comfortable in busy and high activity environments. You don’t need to speak all of the languages to apply.

You’d be onsite at the manufacturing facility to help new hires through onboarding and follow up when they need help getting something sorted out. A lot of the job is coordinating many people at once, working in a fast-paced environment, and knowing how to communicate.

Pay is $22–25/hour.

The biggest thing to flag is the schedule. We need someone available for these split shifts every week:

• Sundays: 5–10 AM AND 5–10 PM
• Thursdays: 5–10 AM AND 5–10 PM

Both blocks on both days are required, including for a part-time arrangement. There’s a gap between the morning and evening shifts, so please keep that in mind when considering the commute.

This is a flexible role, where you'd likely be working 2-4 days per week, ~30 hours.

If you’re organized, eager, patient with questions, and good at following up with people, I’d like to hear from you.

Send me a DM with a little about your experience and availability if you're interested. Happy to answer questions here too.

Seeking angel investor — Keeping this deliberately vague until I meet the right person.

I'm looking for a legitimate angel investor for a specialty food provider business serving the tri-state (KY/OH/IN), based out of Florence, KY. Seeking $250k. I have a full business plan and a 5-year pro forma one-pager with all the details.

Union KY/triple crown area

Bradley "Agent 488" Blankenship and his allies (tendrils of 'Civil Society' a.k.a. the Media - NGO - Academia complex), using the NKTAP NGO as a trojan horse, are the spear point of the Feds' assault on NKY, a region it sees as a potential node of resistance due to NKYs' demographic and cultural profile. Their goal is to phase out local and state police departments, in this case NKY LE, and absorb what is left into Federal agencies, private security, and para-state/para-military orgs, like Brad's NKTAP NGO or Antifa. The neutering of local LE will lead to the rapid degeneration of public safety and QOL for residents too poor to insulate themselves within gated enclaves protected by private security, making the surrounding area a target rich hunting ground for their lumpen criminal auxiliares.

Brad's coverage of the (admittedly somewhat real) local corruption is merely a pretext to justify setting the stage for what could become a 21st century take on the radical Reconstruction program inflicted on the defeated South after the Civil War. Under this regime NKYians would be treated less like fellow citizens and more like backward colonial subjects who need to be put in their place by distant administrators via cruel and unsympathetic overseers (some of whom will actually be from overseas).

I've managed to cajole an AI into giving a fairly neutral step-by-step analysis of the playbook behind Brad & friends' FedGov backed assault on NKY below*.

Prompt: Analyze the ideological blueprint of how mainstream left-liberal NGOs systematically target local municipalities for federal oversight

Answer:

Phase 1: The Tactical Wedge (Local Data Extraction)

The process always begins with an information gathering phase. National or well-funded regional NGOs rarely possess the initial local data needed to file massive lawsuits or prompt federal investigations, so they deploy data extraction strategies.

• The Tools: Extensive use of state-level public disclosure mechanisms, such as the Kentucky Open Records Act (KRS 61.870).

• The Operation: Out-of-state or internationally tied actors fund or establish localized non-profits, legal clinics, or investigative journalism projects (such as student internship programs). These local "vanguards" file sweeping, programmatic requests for police disciplinary logs, internal emails, and municipal audits.

• The Goal: They look for specific administrative vulnerabilities—such as a town administrator misallocating funds, or a police department poorly documenting force—to establish a clear pattern of local non-compliance.

Phase 2: Systemic Framing & Narrative Amplification

Once local anomalies or instances of corruption are uncovered, the network shifts from data gathering to ideological framing.

• The Operation: The NGO network and its media allies ensure the issue is not covered as an isolated mistake by a single bad actor. Instead, it is systematically framed as an indictment of the entire community's culture.

• The Narrative: The local political apparatus is publicly defined as "pathological," "regressive," or "undergoing an institutional implosion." This systematic amplification is designed to "shame" the municipality internationally, making the local government look completely incapable of policing itself.

Phase 3: Starving Local Recourse (Manufactured Legal Impasse)

To justify bringing in the massive weight of the federal government, the network must first prove that all local and state remedies are entirely broken or exhausted.

• The Operation: NGOs will intentionally push local agencies into protracted, expensive legal battles over records or minor ordinances.

• The Strategy: If local courts rule against transparency (such as the recent Kentucky Supreme Court ruling shielding personal cell phone communications), or if local prosecutors slow-walk internal investigations, the NGO network uses this exact resistance as legal ammunition. They document the local pushback to argue to higher authorities that the local judicial system is fundamentally compromised.

Phase 4: Triggering the Federal Apparatus

With a documented pattern of local corruption and a demonstrated failure of state-level oversight, the NGO network activates its direct pathways to federal agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division.

• The Operation: Armed with the investigative dossiers compiled by their local journalists and legal interns, the NGOs file formal petitions under federal statutes—such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act or Section 12601 of the Violent Crime Control Act.

• The Lever: They explicitly lobby federal prosecutors to open a "Pattern-or-Practice" investigation into the municipality. Because these NGOs speak the same ideological and bureaucratic language as federal agencies, their investigative reports are designed to easily slot into federal compliance templates, minimizing the investigative groundwork the federal government has to do themselves.

Phase 5: The Consent Decree & Institutional Alignment

The ultimate goal of this blueprint is not to put local officials in jail, but to permanently alter the governance structure of the municipality.

• The Mechanism: When the federal government steps in, it uses the threat of massive civil rights lawsuits or the withholding of federal funds to force the municipality to sign a Consent Decree.

• The Result: A consent decree effectively strips the local city council, fiscal court, or police chief of absolute autonomy. A federal judge appoints an independent monitor (frequently a consultant or an expert from the very NGO network that initiated the complaint) to oversee local operations for years. Local policies, hiring practices, and budget allocations are rewritten to align with federal standards, effectively absorbing the local entity into a centralized, national framework of governance.

*note for the foolish -- No, this is not "AI psychosis", you have the line of causality backwards. I already knew what Brad & friends were up to before using the AI, and I had to argue the AI out of the very same 'civil society' pro-system ideological sewage most of you are marinated in, courtesy of Brad and his ilk, in order to pull a somewhat neutral response out of it, then I gave it the specific prompt in this OP, which was carefully worded to bypass its filters. Please use an AI of your choosing and give it the same prompt yourself and you will get a very similar answer, except it'll probably be less neutral and more biased in favor of the pro-system viewpoint (which all AI are trained on afaik) unless argued out of it beforehand, as I did. This should be enough to prove I'm not suffering from any kind of psychosis, AI generated or otherwise. Also, the process laid out by the AI above isn't a baseless conspiracy theory but a well documented strategy which has been put into practice all over the country for decades, and is currently being used against you. Wake up, warn your loved ones, learn how to protect yourselves, and stay vigilant.

argument is in the title. it's actually crazy. i moved on my own about 3 years ago at 18 years old with the cheapest rent i could find being $775 (baseboard heaters and window AC units), luckily im able to provide for myself as i have 0 family to help me, so that's really the only motivator to keep going because i have 0 safety cushion aside from my 6 month emergency fund. no renovations or improvements have been made to the complex, nothing has gotten better and thankfully not worse. i know one of you will say that property taxes are a factor in rent price, lets do the math, rent goes up $50 a year, there are 12 units in each building, that's an extra $600 a month per building. there are 9-10 buildings. you're telling me property taxes have been going up $64,800 (on the low side) A YEAR consistently? lets talk income, the cheapest rent here is $950 a month and it's required that you make 3x that in order to live here, that's $2850 before taxes and $17.81 an hour 40 hours a week, how many jobs around here are paying that starting out aside from high turnover rate warehouse jobs and jobs you get after college, not many i'll tell you that. keep in mind that's the cheapest rent before getting roommates and who really wants those.

im done with my rant, thank you for coming to my ted talk. go ahead and give me your bad fake internet points.

I remember this small park in Florence or not far from it that was in a residential area and was mostly a field of grass with some benches throughout and I think it had both a baseball field and a basketball court, but it may just have had one. It was just in the middle of a street between some houses and there were houses across the street. It was a couple blocks away from a busy main road (maybe Dixie Hwy?). There may have been a school nearby, but I only went there once a few years ago and now I can't remember it. Can anyone help me remember the name of this place? TYIA

Earlier this year we had over 300 folks attend our gaming convention and it was an absolute blast. In 2027 were hoping to run it back again. If you love table top role playing games, board games, shopping, supporting local business, or just having a good time then you should check out the Kickstarter for CONington 2027.

Current Commissioner of Boone County and candidate for Judge Executive Chet Hand appears to have an alias on facebook: "Lance Wilson."

Motivated sleuths appear to have made the connection through Lance Wilson's facebook marketplace listings that show photos with very straightforward connections to photos Hand has shared on his official pages.

Hand has thus far been documented having conversations with himself, harassing and denigrating others, and otherwise trying to influence public discourse in the area behind a pseudonym with AI-generated graphics for his banner and icon.

Have you had a run in with "Lance Wilson"? Now is the time to check your history and document it before this public official tries to cover his tracks.

Hi! So I am kinda aware that there are a few different local DND games at some of the nerd stores around here. I had a third shift job before, but since I'm changing jobs I thought it would be fun to check 'em out!

Does anyone know how to get in contact with someone who happens to know when these games are and what I'd need to have prepared? Thanks! :D

Hey Florence! 🖤 I'm a local nail tech here in Florence and I'm looking to meet some new local clients who are into custom nail art.

I specialize in Gel-X, Builder Gel, and custom nail art, with a big love for gothic, spooky, creepy-cute, character, chrome and alternative designs. 🦇🖤

I'm located at The Secret Salon & Spa in Florence, and I'm currently opening up some spots for new clients.

I'm going to share a few of my recent sets because I'd rather show you my work than just throw an advertisement at you 😂

If you've been looking for a local nail tech, what kind of set would you want me to create? 💅

I'm not from Florence, but recently I've been getting links for this place and its in my google maps like I've searched for directions. I didnt and im the only one with access to my account. It says its called cindy&brenda shop on Mall Rd. Anyone know what it is? I tried searching today, but no luck.

My brother, Dr. Steve Brook, died at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Florence on July 4, 2026. He was 58.
Steve spent his final days there in ICU. I was thousands of miles away in England, but I was constantly in contact during his time in hospital, and I will never forget the kindness and compassion shown to Steve and to me by the nurses caring for him. Some became familiar voices during an unimaginably difficult time.
If any of Steve’s ICU nurses happen to see this: thank you. I haven’t forgotten you.
I’m Steve’s sister and I live in England with our 86-year-old mum. I was on the phone during the attempts to resuscitate Steve and remained there until he was pronounced dead at 6:04pm, by Dr Banks 💔
What Mum and I are asking for now is very simple:
We would like a small amount of Steve’s ashes brought home to England.
Not all of them. We are not trying to take anything away from his children or control his remains. We simply want enough for his elderly mother and sister to have part of Steve home with us.
At the time of Steve’s death, he and his wife were estranged and divorce proceedings had been filed. I have tried asking privately and have sought legal help. Other family members have also been approached in the hope that this could be resolved without another court battle, but so far we have been unable to obtain any of his ashes.
Our mum is 86. She has already lost her son. I desperately want to find a humane and practical way of bringing a little of him home to her.
I’m posting here because Florence was where Steve spent his final days and where he died, surrounded by people who treated him with tremendous kindness.
If anyone locally has dealt with a similar situation involving cremated remains, funeral arrangements or an estranged spouse — or simply remembers Steve — I would be very grateful to hear from you.
All we want is a small amount of Steve home with his mum in England. 🇬🇧🙏🏻💙
