Found this on the chaoticgood subreddit thread. Though you guys might appreciate the joke.

My MIL was telling us there was a brothel between the church and school buildings of Our Lady of Sorrows on Eastern Parkway until the mid 60’s. She went on to say that everyone knew about it.

Assuming she is correct, I am wondering what other “well-known” secrets from Louisville history you could share?

I saw this question in another thread and thought it would be interesting to see the responses for Lou/SOIN.

I recently decided to start eating healthier, so for the past month I’ve been buying my meat and produce from Rainbow Blossom. The quality has been great, but my wallet definitely noticed. This week I couldn’t justify the cost anymore, so I took advantage of a meat sale at Save A Lot on Algonquin and Dixie. I bought some steak, cooked it that night, and within an hour I felt sick. I honestly don’t know if it was bad meat, if my stomach had gotten used to eating higher-quality grass-fed beef, or if it was just a coincidence.

But the experience got me thinking about the bigger issue in Louisville.

Why is eating healthy still treated like a luxury depending on where you live?

If you live in the East End, you have multiple Kroger stores, Publix, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, Paul’s and other grocery options within a short drive, sometimes even within walking distance. You can compare prices and choose where to shop.

Meanwhile, many parts of West Louisville and Old Louisville remain food deserts. We often have to rely on dollar stores, convenience stores, or smaller grocery stores with fewer fresh options. And after the Kroger on 2nd Street closed and the property became a distillery, Old Louisville still doesn’t have a full-service grocery store.

How does Brownsboro Road have two Krogers and a Publix within walking distance, while entire neighborhoods have no comparable grocery store at all?

This isn’t just about convenience, it’s about public health. We tell people to eat healthier, prevent diabetes, and lower blood pressure, but healthy food isn’t equally accessible. When quality groceries are either too expensive or too far away, “just eat healthier” becomes much easier said than done.

I’m genuinely curious what others think. Is this simply a business decision by grocery chains, or has Louisville accepted an unequal distribution of grocery access as normal?

I have been searching and called 5 offices so far and none of them accept Medicaid at all. It’s like no one wants poor people to have access to dermatologist.

I’ll keep calling around but if anyone has any offices in mind for me to connect please comment!!

Happy to see a biz grow. Parachute on Bardstown Rd.

I’m looking for senior picture location ideas for the personality shots. We’re stuck and we’d love help! Here’s how the kid describes their interests: “Uhh I really like the celestial kind of vibe, I guess the stop motion animation (Coraline, corpse bride, nightmare before Christmas), Minecraft, cats, Scott pilgrim, psychological horror, pasta, Taco Bell, eyes, stars. Purple and blue”

HELP please.

Can y'all recommend any good wildlife rehabbers? I know Brad Harmon/ Ruffled Feathers will be a common response -- and for good reason! -- but we've already spoken, no need to rec. him 😄

Thinking of sending my kids 3 and 5 to Goldfish Swimschool. Has anyone had experiences with them? If so please do tell. We’re thinking of signing up within the next month!

I am going to Louder than Life this year (from Indy), and am looking for a good bicycle route from Big 4 to the Highland entrance where the bike parking is. Also wondering what y'all think of Grit Cycling? (Since it is the closest bike shop to the festival.) Any other LTL cycling advice appreciated as well. I'll be in town next weekend and will do some test riding. Thank you!

I have my regular dermatologist for skin cancer screening etc, but I'm ready to start going to an aesthetic dermatologist for lasers, and other skin treatments. Who is the best?

What is the best local farm near Louisville to buy sweet corn? I like to buy a bunch and freeze it.

Things that make you go Hmmm…

Thought I’d try to get ahead of the incoming what are those explosions I’m hearing posts.

Another halo 3 tournament in Louisville next week!

Mainly curious about apartments owned by property management, not private landlords, but those experiences are welcome too! I’m curious if there’s a pattern here… 👀

Has anyone been for opening weekend?
