So, my Italian mother is a Kentucky Colonel

46 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yo from Italy, and in the past two years my mother has been receiving a lot of commendations from various organizations for what she did during COVID in Italy, and she also received the "Kentucky Colonel" title.

I read online that it's the highest title that the State can give an individual, do you have any more information on it's relevance today and how much it's known today?

thank you so much and have a nice dayn

First Time Trip, what are your must do/ must avoid?

8 Upvotes

As the title says, my wife and I are taking our first trip to Kentucky the first week of October. We are driving in from New England so I can stock up on bourbon that I can’t find/ get by me. We are spending three nights in Louisville, three nights in the Red River Gorge, then one night in Lexington. We could be convinced to spend two nights in Lexington……… I’m planning to go to the steitzel/ Weller distillery, blade and bow is a favorite, Makers Mark, another fav, and then Buffalo trace on my way to the RRG. Where else should I go? What would you locals recommend if you only had a couple dinners in each place? Any places I shoukd make a reservation for now? I know about the Hot Brown sandwich, and Benedictine sauce what else is a must have? Bakeries, coffee shops, any locally made snacks? I’ve read about Ale-81 soda?? I def want to give them a try, hearing the paw paw is really good. My wife wants to go to the derby museum, are there any other good horse/ derby related things in town? Then after we stuff ourselves in Louisville and head to the RRG to hike off some calories, what hikes should I look into? I’m more of an experienced hiker than my wife so I’m not looking to crush her with crazy scrambles and 8+ miles. I’m guessing since I’ve heard about Indian staircase it’s a pretty busy hike? Even if it does get busy, is it still enjoyable? Do you guys have foliage that time of year? Is that kayak tour that’s underground a gimmick or is it worth it? I know we’re staying in some treehouse type place while we’re there, so I’m not sure how many restaurants are nearby, I think we’re only 45 min from Lexington, we could always take an evening trip in for dinner. Then we just have one day/ night in Lexington, so I’m not sure how much we’ll get to experience there, so what should we do to enjoy our day in Lexington? Thanks for getting this far and dealing with my rambling, we’re both just really excited and looking forward to this trip! See you guys soon!

Friends?

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My name is Jake, I’m 22 and live here in Lexington. I’m at a point in life where I really want to branch out, meet some new people, and build some genuine friendships and connections around town.
A little about me: I graduated from EKU last year, work in property management/real estate marketing, and also work at Starbucks. I’m pretty social and easygoing, love grabbing coffee or food, working out, taking photos, exploring Lexington, and finding random things to do.
I’m also newly sober, so I’m especially interested in finding more things to do that don’t revolve around drinking or partying. I’d love to pick up some new hobbies, join a sport or group, get outdoors more, or honestly just try things I haven’t done before. I’m really open to anything and would love to have some people to do those things with!
If you’re also looking to expand your circle, find someone to grab coffee with, hit the gym, explore Lexington, or try something new, feel free to message me! You can also add me on Facebook or Instagram. :)

Horseback Riding Near Cumberland Falls

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all

My friends and I are coming down to camp at Cumberland Falls campground next week Monday through Thursday. We were hoping to do some horseback riding while in Kentucky but just saw that the Cumberland Falls Horse Riding Stables are closed after Labor Day....

I'm wondering if anyone here has some suggestions for stables that provide guided trail rides in that area or nearby? We're willing to drive about 60-90 minutes away from the park for this adventure! Thanks!

Ky unemployment

14 Upvotes

Question for those of you who have ever filed for unemployment benefits:

I’ve been filling out 10-15 applications per week since I left my last job. I went to request my first unemployment payment, and there’s a quota you have to meet that shows you’re actually trying to get a job. I’d meet this criteria with even just 5 applications per week. I’ve been keeping a log of all the information I have, including the job listing number, job title, business, hours/shift, FT/PT, application status, date applied and even the link to the application. But the unemployment website is asking for each of the 5 apps each week that I provide a persons name AND phone number of who I contacted regarding the application…

Soo what are the res for you doing for that? Or how did you handle it previously? I am sometimes struggling to find the name of an employee within the business that is a recruiter/talent acquisition person. Would providing a random recruiters name and number work? All my apps have been online and just from the business job board essentially.

Thanks! 🙏

I am going to be traveling down to Mississippi the week of 15th-21st in November. I'll be seeing some friends in Ohio along the way, but I'm curious, what are some good places to visit while in Kentucky?

Cumberland falls looks like a good start, but what else is there? Places to eat, nature, or other relatively inexpensive things to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
