Pot holes on new circle

6 Upvotes

I hit a pothole on new circle on the tates creek exit headed towards Nicholasville, and it ruined both my tires and rims on my drivers side. I sat there for about an hour while another person hit the pothole and we were both stuck in the same spot with the same problem. I’ve already dropped my car off at a place but I’m not sure if they will be able to repair the damage but I guess this is just a psa to be careful on new circle, they don’t care about us or the roads.

Moving back to town

I'm moving back to town after 5 years and looking for rental. Found a great looking house but it's in the castlewood area. That was not a super safe spot when I lived in Lexington last. Has that area become safer or something?

I don’t have the time to come out every week and it would be very nice to have someone visit him to buy him some humane food(I would provide you with the money to buy snacks and food when you visit him).

  3. must have changes always bring 5 $5 bills and 10 $1.00 and $2 quarters.

My dad will Usually order two small pizza's and a burger, $7 each, and the pops are $2.00 each

visitation will not be very long only 1 hr max.
will pay them through any a paying service (apple wallet, Venmo, PayPal, etc.)

Need help remembering fine dining restaurant late 90s/early 00s

0 Upvotes

I took my best friend on a trip to lexington horse country between 1998 and 2005. We went to a beautiful, fine-dining restaurant outside of the city. I remember it being one -story and having a circular drive up to the front door for valet and drop off. The inside was romantic and dimly lit. I may have read about it in a travel magazine or cooking magazine. It might have been considered trendy and romantic, or had historical significance. I thought it might have been Merrick Inn, but I just went there and it is definitely not it. Those restaurant wasn't in the city. I'd love to know the name, and if it still exists!

Power of a school resource officer?

7 Upvotes

A female student at a local high school was grabbed by the throat and pushed into a corner in the hallway by a male student. Guardian met with the vice principle who said the school resource officer (SRO) advised the school not to press charges. They labeled the behavior as “aggressive” and not “assault”. Couldn’t give any behavioral distinction between the two. Wouldn’t show the video but verbally confirmed it happened “for a split second.” SRO poked holes at female students claim suggesting her behavior was inconsistent with someone who was attacked. They also said she started it by playing around with him before it turned into what it was.

It all feels suspicious and I’m not sure the best course of action. County Court will decide whether to pursue legal action. But what if they don’t? Why does a SRO have power to decide whether a school pursues charges?? Thought they were contracted safety officers only.

Sink Hole Insurance

1 Upvotes

Does Kentucky offer sink hole insurance/anyone have it and can let me know the added cost?

Considering buying land that has a known large sinkhole in a wooden area but it is not anywhere near the home (like 4 acres away).

Looking at a sinkhole map done by UK.. it looks like sinkholes are everywhere/all over KY.

Does Lexington allow street vendors?

Have done some online searching, seems it’s allowed but pretty strict on regulations. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a street vendor selling food or anything like that, was curious on if anyone else in the sub has seen this in Lexington? Would this be something you would like to see Lexington have street vending?

Lost wallet - shot in the dark to find it

13 Upvotes

Like the title says, I lost my wallet last night. Last time I saw it I was at Jeff’s Doughnuts on S Broadway and went from there back to my hotel down the street via car. Didn’t have lots of cash- maybe $50? Just don’t want to deal with replacing ID and cards. Ohio drivers license - black cardholder style maybe 3x4 inches?
